Finding and creating the optimal configuration

To find the optimal configuration for your setup, you need to create the MQe objects and perform tests to measure the throughput of messages. This empirical testing should ideally take place on a similar network to the production network, using production type message data.

Use the SupportPac™ MQe_Script to create tests that are both easy to configure and repeatable. This SupportPac is a command line based tool for creating and administering MQe resources. MQe_Script embeds a scripting language called TCL that you can use to write intelligent scripts that add logic and control. You can download this support from the from the Business Integration SupportPacs Web site:http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/support/supportpacs . To access the download from this site, select the WebSphere® MQ Everyplace® product from the list box.

Using MQe_Script, you can write scripts that create all the necessary objects on the gateway, and optionally the clients. Parameters can be passed into a script in such a way that the script takes in the number of required bridge queues. As a result, the bridge queues and all the other relevant MQe objects are created.

By using this method to create MQe configurations, you can quickly and easily experiment with the number of bridge queues required to achieve the desired throughput. Once you write the script, no extra programming is required.

MQe_Script can even be used to modify any existing configurations that may exist.

Although MQe_Script does not modify MQ objects, these can be created using MQSC commands. MQe_Script does come with an example MQSC script showing how to create the MQ objects necessary to communicate with an MQ Everyplace gateway .
