688a1234540c7bed119d165bde51ff78_0 | IBM QRadar: Enabling On Event and Flow Hashing integrity checks with HMAC - United States Hashing; QRadar; HMAC; integrity; hashed message authentication code; authentication TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
What is the performance impact of using HMAC, and how does QRadar handle key management?
ANSWER
The overhead of writing these files is negligible, regardless of the hashing method selected. HMAC is no more expensive than the default options supported by QRadar previously. Once enabled the
HMAC keys are added to new Events and Flows as they are written. When attempting to run the integrity check, it will take some time depending on the amount of data being validated. It will not cause performance issues, assuming the system is not at maximum load for disk input.
From more information on HMAC please refer to the section Checking the Integrity of Event and Flow Logs in the QRadar Administration Guide. |

04d6ddcbbc1e03d65ded1216ca722585_0 | IBM WebSphere DataPower spikes with high CPU when WebSphere MQ connection is unavailable - United States retries; high CPU; MQ queue manager; Retry Interval; Retry Attempts; Long Retry Interval TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
Why does WebSphere DataPower spike with a high CPU rate when a WebSphere MQ connection is unavailable? Is there a solution to this issue?
CAUSE
If the value of Retry Attempts is set to 0 on the DataPower MQ Queue Manager object, this negates the benefits of the Long Retry Interval since it will not be used. DataPower will retry forever using the specified Retry Interval. The default setting of Retry Attempts as 0 and Retry Interval as 1 second is provided to preserve backward compatibility. However, these default values should be changed to take advantage of Long Retry Interval feature available in firmware. |
04d6ddcbbc1e03d65ded1216ca722585_1 | ANSWER
The solution to the issue of having DataPower vulnerable to the MQ Queue Manager being inaccessible is to change the Retry Attempts parameter on the Configure MQ Queue Manager window from 0 to some number. As an example, change the parameters as follows:
* Retry Attempts - change the default of 0 to 6 Retry Interval - change the default of 1 to 10 seconds Long Retry Interval - change the default of 1800 to 600 seconds (10 minutes)
In the event that the Queue Manager is down or a connection is not established, the above example configuration will allow the MQ QM Object to retry 6 times with 10 second intervals. After 6 attempts, the MQ QM object will retry every 10 minutes.

d439650947250d132e5875daf6853245_0 | IBM DB2 LUW precompile, prep may write different code to DB2 z/OS - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
Why does DB2 LUW precompile, prep write different code to DB2 z/OS?
CAUSE
It is an expected current DB2 LUW behavior.
ANSWER
Here is an example.
------------------------------
<Before PRECOMPILE>
01 BLOB1 USAGE ID SQL TYPE IS BLOB(10485760).
<PRECOMPILE on z/OS>
01 BLOB1.
02 BLOB1-LENGTH PIC S9(9) COMP.
02 BLOB1-DATA.
49 FILLER PIC(10485760).
<PRECOMPILE on LUW>
01 BLOB1.
02 BLOB1-LENGTH PIC S9(9) COMP.
02 BLOB1-DATA PIC(10485760).
------------------------------
As above, we see DB2 z/OS has below two lines:
------------------------------
02 BLOB1-DATA.
49 FILLER PIC(10485760).
------------------------------
but DB2 LUW writes only one line as below for above two lines part.
------------------------------
02 BLOB1-DATA PIC(10485760).
------------------------------ |
d439650947250d132e5875daf6853245_1 | It is an expected current DB2 LUW behavior and we don't have any hidden
option to generate the cobol declarations similar to z/OS precompiler.
Note:
This behavior might be changed without notice in the future. We can confirm whether this technote
is valid or not by following above scenario.

1. Use the following command to update your IBM Business Process Manager product to V8.5 Refresh Pack 5:
IM_INSTALL_LOCATION/tools/imcl install PACKAGE_IDS FIX_IDS -acceptLicense -installationDirectory INSTALL_DIR-repositories REPOSITORIES-log LOG_FILE
Update the variables in the previous command specifically for your installation using the following information:
* IM_INSTALL_LOCATION
This variable represents the location where Installation Manager is installed. See Installation directories for the product and profile [http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFPJS_8.5.5/com.ibm.wbpm.imuc.doc/topics/rins_installation_paths.html] for more information on Installation Manager default installation directories.
* PACKAGE_IDS |
0ad1fdaaaed407a46134edd6262b8663_19 | This variable represents the list of packages to be updated. Package IDs are separatedby spaces. Use the following list to get the correct package IDs for your product.
* IBM Business Process Manager Express
com.ibm.bpm.EXP.v85
com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85
* IBM Business Process Manager Standard
com.ibm.bpm.STD.v85
com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85
* IBM Business Process Manager Advanced
com.ibm.bpm.ADV.v85
com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85
* IBM Business Process Manager Advanced - Process Server
com.ibm.bpm.PS.v85
com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85
* FIX_IDS
This variable represents the interim fix IDs for any interim fixes that you need to install.
* INSTALL_DIR
This variable represents the installation directory of the product.
* REPOSITORIES |
0ad1fdaaaed407a46134edd6262b8663_20 | This variable represents the location of the refresh pack and interim fix repositories.
Note: Use commas to separate multiple locations.
* LOG_FILE
This variable represents the location and name of the silent log file to write.
By including the -acceptLicense parameter, you agree to the terms and licenses of this product.
2. After updating the command for your environment, run the command from the tools directory under the Installation Manager install location.
The following command is an example in which only the IBM Business Process Manager refresh pack needs to be applied:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse\tools\imcl install com.ibm.bpm.PS.v85 -acceptLicense -installationDirectory C:\IBM\BPM\v8.5 -repositories C:\BPM855_repository -log silent_update.txt |
0ad1fdaaaed407a46134edd6262b8663_21 | 3. When the silent refresh pack installation completes, check the log files to ensure that the installation completes successfully. A success message that is similar to the following text displays on the command line:
Updated to com.ibm.bpm.ADV.v85_8.5.5000.20140604_1130 in the C:\IBM\BPM\v8.5 directory |

Upgrading the Process Designer
After you update your Process Center with a fix pack, refresh pack, or interim fix, you must update the Process Designer to the same level. To make the updates, download the Process Designer file again and run the installation. Only the fixes or changes are applied.
About this task
When you install the fix pack, refresh pack, or interim fix, the IBM Process Designer.zip file is updated also. You must download it and install the updated Process Designer to the directory where you already installed Process Designer.
Procedure |
0ad1fdaaaed407a46134edd6262b8663_26 | 1. Open the Process Center.
2. Click the IBM Process Designer Download option.
3. When you are prompted, save the IBM Process Designer.zip file to your file system. This file contains everything that you need to install and run IBM Process Designer. Depending on your network connection, the download might take several minutes to complete.
4. Extract the contents of the IBM Process Designer.zip file to a temporary directory on your file system.
5. Open a command window and change to the directory where you extracted the contents of the IBM Process Designer.zip file.
Important: If you are running Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008, right-click the command prompt and select Run as administrator. |
0ad1fdaaaed407a46134edd6262b8663_27 | 6. Run one of the following commands to update the Process Designer. Use the same command that you used to install the Process Designer. * Default location (C:\IBM\ProcessDesigner\v8.5) * installProcessDesigner_admin.bat
* installProcessDesigner_nonadmin.bat
* Different location * installProcessDesigner_admin.bat install_location
* installProcessDesigner_nonadmin.bat install_location
If the location has spaces in the directory name, put the whole location in quotation marks. The following examples show how to install to a different location. * installProcessDesigner_admin.bat D:\IBM\PD
* installProcessDesigner_admin.bat "D:\Process Designer\" |
0ad1fdaaaed407a46134edd6262b8663_28 | Results
IBM Process Designer is updated. Only the fixes or changes are applied. Installation messages are recorded in the %TEMP%\IBMProcessDesignerInstall.log file, where the %TEMP% variable is typically set to C:\Documents and Settings\current_user_name\Local Settings\Temp.

91ae811c2a9cd830167f3cf308cd6d62_0 | IBM How to enable Baselining in your monitored application. - United States tema enable baselining Unknown application health status CAMADALL CAMADINST TECHNOTE (FAQ)
THIS DOCUMENT APPLIES ONLY TO THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE VERSION(S):
US English
QUESTION
Steps to enable Baselining in your monitored application.
ANSWER
The health of the monitored application is calculated against an internally stored baseline threshold. The baselining of the application is a process that uses a pre-defined mathematical and statistical method to automatically calculate a threshold based on response time information typically collected over a period of time (few days to few weeks.)
By default baselining gets enabled with a situation WasAppDiscoverd. This situation is enabled by default and will discover new applications then run a take action to start the baselining. So if this situation is not enabled then you should enable it and assign to the ITCAM App Server managing system list. |
91ae811c2a9cd830167f3cf308cd6d62_1 | You want to do baselining with normal or typical load on the server over a period of few days to few weeks, or even few months. The performance of the application under this load is considered good (you will see "Good"" in the Application Health views) and deviation from this performance indicates degrading health ("Bad" or "Fair" in the Application Health views) of the monitored application.
To start baselining for your application server, please follow these steps:
(Note 1: in this example, I've used a WebSphere-based application but you can also do the same for any application on your J2EE agent also.)
(Note 2: Before beginning baselining, make sure you have typical or normal load on the server to set the baselining threshold values.)
1. Login to your TEPS, select Application Health, right-click on it, go to Workspace and select Application Registry. Look at the panels on the right and observe the baselining columns. If they're blank, your baselining has not been started. |
91ae811c2a9cd830167f3cf308cd6d62_2 | 2. Next select Application Health, right-click on it, go to Workspace and select Application Health status. If you see Unknown, then you know the baselining has not started or not been calculated.
3. High-lite your application, select the small yellow chain link in the first unnamed column and select Application Configuration Details. See screenshot here:
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21653905&aid=1] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21653905&aid=1]
4. In the bottom panel on the right select the line that says All and high-lite it. Then right-click it, select Take Action and Select. In the pull-down, select Start_Baselining and enter the Period (2 days), Update_Interval (every 2 hours), and Run_Clean set to 1 (clean start.) If you wish, you can change these values to whatever you want. |
91ae811c2a9cd830167f3cf308cd6d62_3 | See screenshots here:
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21653905&aid=2] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21653905&aid=2]
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21653905&aid=3]
Hit OK twice and you should get a Command completed successfully message. (Note: If you get a Baselining_Already_Active message in the pop-up window, then you should do another Take Action and Stop_Baselining first if you want to do the baselining again.)
Once you have the baselining active, let it run for the period of time with typical load on the server. After the baselining is complete, the Unknown values in the Application Health should now change to Good or Fair or Bad depending on threshold values. |

5ed3b8d96536654ab032b3a4da40056a_0 | IBM NormalizeCCO merging lines with IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture - United States normalizecco; merge lines; recognition TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
After running NormalizeCCO, words on separate lines are merged into a single line of text when using IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture.
SYMPTOM
In the following image, Word 1 and Word 2 are on separate lines, but after NormalizeCCO is run may show in a single line as Word Word 1 2.
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21701910&aid=1]
CAUSE
When text is not cleanly printed in lines, such as when the font varies or the text is vertically offset, Datacap may not always be able to locate text when loading field values. The NormalizeCCO goes through the CCO file, and cleans up all the entries so they appear in regular lines. For most images this improves ultimate recognition results, but for some complex images, NormalizeCCO cannot determine where to separate the lines and merges all words into a single line. |
5ed3b8d96536654ab032b3a4da40056a_1 | RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Add the following action prior to NormalizeCCO.
*
*
The first parameter is the percentage of a line that two words must be offset to be considered as separate lines. If the value is not set, the default is 50. In the example, if two words are vertically offset by more than 35% of the height of the words, then they are considered to be on separate lines. Lower values are more likely to split words into separate lines. Higher values are more likely to merge words into a single line.

722e3016964420dde55ccf4e659d23ae_0 | IBM Information Server QualityStage Match Designer Database creation - United States MD Match Designer Matching Match InformationServer QualityStage TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How do I configure the Match Designer Database in Information Server?
ANSWER
This Technote outlines the following procedures.
1. Prerequisites
2. What is the Match Database’s purpose?
3. Setting the database up.
4. Configuring the Match Designer for use with the Database.
5. On going maintenance
Prerequisites
The following must exist before using the Match Designer functionality. 1. Match Specification built for use in match designer.
2. Create a data set that contains the data you will run the match analysis on.
3. Create a corresponding frequency data set to be used in the match analysis.
4. DSN for local PC
5. Create Database in which to perform the Match analysis processing.
a) Sizing of Database
b) Character sets required
c) Permission's for users |
722e3016964420dde55ccf4e659d23ae_1 | Additional information is also available with in the WebSphere QualityStage User Guide.
What it’s the Match Database’s purpose? 1. The results Database is used to test the match specifications (logic) designed for use in match jobs.
2. This functionality enables the user to get a baseline of how good the match criteria are, based on the match logic developed for use in the application.
3. The results Database stores statistics and match results based on your data. For Example: How many matches, duplicates, and unmatched records.
4. This functionality allows developers to change matching logic on the fly and retest within minutes. |
722e3016964420dde55ccf4e659d23ae_2 | * There is nothing from this Database that is used in production runs so it should never be created on or moved to a production box.
* The Match Designer is to be used for development purposes only with a "subset" of the full volume data. If additional match modifications are required continue to use a subset of data not conduct testing with full volume data.
* Determining the subset size of data to use in the Match Designer will vary depending on the clients environment and resources. Each client should run several iterations to determine the optimal subset to utilize in the Match Designer step.
* To obtain the most accurate matching thresholds a full volume run should be performed in the DataStage Designer. |
722e3016964420dde55ccf4e659d23ae_3 | Creating the Database 1. You should start from an empty Database; using the default XMETA Database is not recommended because it can become corrupt.
2. There are certain requirements on how the Database is to be created.
a) If Oracle: CHARACTERSET should be set to AL32UTF
b) If SQL: default is fine.
c) If DB2: create as codepage UTF-8 and page size 32K
d) Permission’s - Each user has to have the ability to create tables, write and read rights in the DB.
e) The minimum DB space required will be calculated as follows = Number of Passes in match specification (X) Number of Input Records (X) Input Record Length (+) 100 filler.
f) If this is a distributed installation, you need to have ODBC defined in your client and on the server. They must have the same name. |
722e3016964420dde55ccf4e659d23ae_4 | Configuring the Match Designer for use with the Database 1. Via the DataStage Designer navigate to the your match specification to work with
2. Double click and a window will appear indicating:
“The ODBC Data Source Name (xxxxxxx) currently specified for this Match could not be found. Please create a DSN by this name or run a Test Environment Update to configure a different DSN for this Specification.”
3. Select the “OK” button
4. Select option “Configure Specification”
5. From drop down select “Test Environment”
6. For “Sample Information” navigate to the location of your data set(s) created for analysis.
7. Under “Frequency Information” navigate to the location of your frequency data set(s) created for use.
8. Section “Test Results Database” fill the following information in.
a. Select the DSN created for the will allow the connection to the Database.
b. Enter user name required
c. Password required
d. Test Connection |
722e3016964420dde55ccf4e659d23ae_5 | e. Configuration File Location; these are the nodes located in your environment for use. Please make sure this matches the location of where the data sets reside on the server.
9. Once connection is established hit the “Update” button. This will populate the Database with the required fields (not data) to populate when you perform the test specification.
10. The final step is to perform the Test All Passes. Please note this make take a few moments depending on the size of the files used. |
722e3016964420dde55ccf4e659d23ae_6 | Ongoing Maintenance 1. For each new run, results are cleared and rewritten to the DB.
2. Each user should have their own respective Databases to avoid rewriting over previous results.
3. There are separate tables holding results for each design. And from one user it is no problem to use a single Database and multiple designs.
4. Per the recommendation above in "Creating the Database" this database should not be your XMETA database. If you used the XMETA DO NOT RUN THIS STEP. When you are done testing you can drop the DB altogether. |

PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
How to deal with an EventReader that is using an inadvertently future dated StateChange value.
SYMPTOM
The EventReader stops acquiring events that are pertinent for processing because it is using a StateChange value that is too high. |
7d6f89be3a01a06e86d4bdc0e4e94e8e_1 | CAUSE
An event has had its StateChange value artificially increased by some unknown component (Probe, Trigger, etc) to reflect a future date. The EventReader captures the event and then uses the highest captured StateChange value in its outgoing SQL to capture pertinent events.
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
Pertinent events are not being processed. Looking in the EventReader log file the number of events being captured in each Read is 0. Testing the SQL being used in an nco_sql session produces a 0 result too. Testing the SQL again in an nco_sql session without the "and StateChange >= 1234567890" clause returns all the unprocessed rows. |
7d6f89be3a01a06e86d4bdc0e4e94e8e_2 | RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Something has "future dated" the StateChange value of an event in the ObjectServer, the EventReader captured the event and, since the EventReader will use the highest StateChange value captured in the previous poll in the SQL of its next poll, this then future dated the value used in the EventReader. The EventReader will persist with this value (and will increment it by 1 every other poll) until such a time as it captures an event with a higher StateChange value.
The simplest solution is to manually reset the EventReader StateChange value via the GUI. Stop the EventReader, open it for edit, click the "Clear State" button, exit the editor and restart the EventReader.
An alternate solution is to perform this operation via the Command Line Interface:
* telnet [Hostname] [Port] |
7d6f89be3a01a06e86d4bdc0e4e94e8e_3 | where [Hostname] is the resolvable hostname of the ImpactServer host and [Port] is the CLI port number (2000, by default). You will need to supply a suitable username (admin, for example) and password. Then at the READY prompt enter the series of commands:
* Update Service set Running=false where Name='[EventReaderName]';
*
* Update Service set ClearState=true where Name='[EventReaderName]';
*
* Update Service set Running=true where Name='[EventReaderName]';
where [EventReaderName] is the name of the EventReader that requires this restart process.
In cases where the likelihood of StateChange being inappropriately incremented in this fashion is quite high, one might wish to automate this process and have a Policy hunt for such occurrences. Please find following an example of a "hunter" Policy to capture any reoccurrence of this issue: |

7d6f89be3a01a06e86d4bdc0e4e94e8e_6 | As you can see this is designed to be run by a PolicyActivator and checks for events that have been around in the ObjectServer for a while (a minute) and are pertinent for processing by Impact (ImpactFlag = 1), but have not. If it finds any it then acquires the StateChange value from the .state file via JRExecServer using the example script referred to in the above example Policy as CheckState.sh:
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
If the Policy finds the string it extracts the StateChange value and compares it against the current time and, if StateChange exceeds the current time, it undertakes the stop, clear and restart of the EventReader to bring StateChange back into line.
This examples a simple script to use the Command Line Interface to stop the EventReader, clear the StateChange value and restart the EventReader and is referred to in the above exampled Policy as ClearState.sh:
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
* |
7d6f89be3a01a06e86d4bdc0e4e94e8e_7 | Please note that the ClearState.sh script should not contain any spaces or special characters otherwise calling EOF will throw errors. Also, in latter versions of Impact, the username and password should be those of the tipadmin. Additionally, rather than have the password sitting clear case in a script one can pass it as a JRExecAction Parameter from the Policy - still clear case but the relevance of the variable can be made less obvious.
Both of these scripts are called by the JRExecAction() function in the example Policy and this in turn requires the JRExecServer to be running on the ImpactServer host(s *). |
7d6f89be3a01a06e86d4bdc0e4e94e8e_8 | * - The JRExecServer will be used by the current Primary ImpactServer only, as all EventReaders and PolicyActivators are run on the current Primary only but, if and when failover occurs and the Secondary ImpactServer becomes Primary, this new Primary will require access to a running, local JRExecServer. So, JRExecServer has to be running on both Primary and Secondary ImpactServer hosts to ensure availability in case of failover.

704938e5688ce47a89c91ddedffc28a8_0 | IBM When to enable Conversation Sharing in DataPower MQ Queue Manager (mq-qm) object - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
When to enable Sharing Conversations in DataPower MQ Queue Manager (mq-qm) object along with SHARECNV attribute of the MQ SVRCONN channel? |
704938e5688ce47a89c91ddedffc28a8_1 | RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
IBM WebSphere MQ server version 7.0 and later releases provide sharing conversations (SHARECNV) attribute on SVRCONN channel that specifies the maximum number of conversations that can share each TCP/IP channel instance. This feature can be configured in DataPower as it uses client connection with queue manager SVRCONN channel.
The default setting of sharing conversations (SHARECNV) value is zero in DataPower mq-qm object. The same default value for MQ SVRCONN channel is 10. The sharing conversations value is
negotiated between MQ server and DataPower and the lower value takes effect. However, in current versions of the DataPower firmware, the sharing conversations setting of 1 is treated as 0 when negotiating with MQ server.
There are three use cases to configure Sharing Conversations in DataPower mq-qm object: |
704938e5688ce47a89c91ddedffc28a8_2 | Case #1 : The negotiated sharing conversations value is 0 - The channel runs in a mode similar to WebSphere MQ V6 and does not uses features such as
· Administrator stop-quiesce
· Heartbeating
· Read ahead
· Client asynchronous consume
Set a value of 0 or 1 on the Sharing Conversations attribute of the mq-qm object in DataPower to disable sharing conversations regardless of the IBM WebSphere MQ SVRCONN setting.
Case #2: The negotiated sharing conversations value is 1 - The channel supports IBM WebSphere MQ V7 and later release features as outlined in case #1, but each TCP/IP channel instance has a single conversation.
Set a value of 1 on the Sharing Conversations attribute and select "on" in Share Single Conversation attribute of the mq-qm object in DataPower as shown in the following picture and a value of 1 on IBM WebSphere MQ SVRCONN setting. |
704938e5688ce47a89c91ddedffc28a8_3 | The Share Single Conversation attribute is only visible when "Sharing Conversations" is configured with value of "1" and then <RETURN> key is entered. For values greater than 1, the "Share Single Conversation" attribute is hidden in the mq-qm object.
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21647231&aid=1] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21647231&aid=1]
Case #3: The negotiated sharing conversations value is 2 or more - The channel supports IBM WebSphere MQ 7 and later release features and each TCP/IP channel instance supports 2 or more conversations.
Set a value of 2 or more on the Sharing Conversations attribute of the mq-qm object in DataPower and on the MQ SVRCONN channel. |
704938e5688ce47a89c91ddedffc28a8_4 | On average, processing of messages from client applications is 15 percent slower when using SHARECNV(10) as compared to SHARECNV(0). Please refer to Performance Implications of Sharing [http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_7.0.1/com.ibm.mq.csqzaf.doc/mi12240_.htm]
Conversations on Client-connection Channels. [http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_7.0.1/com.ibm.mq.csqzaf.doc/mi12240_.htm].
Since DataPower uses a connection pool in processing MQ messages, there are no additional benefits of using sharing conversations with the mq-qm object. However, in situations when mixed message sizes are used by the same mq-qm object, using case #2 will benefit mq-qm object as it will use new buffer management feature of IBM WebSphere MQ Version 7 when making MQGET API call. |
704938e5688ce47a89c91ddedffc28a8_5 | When using a negotiated shared conversations value of 0 as in case #1, mq-qm object uses maximum message size as the buffer pool for the MQGET API call. However, when mixed message sizes are processed by the same MQ Front Side Handler (FSH), it requests buffer pool based on maximum message size configured in the mq-qm object. The use of fixed buffer pool for small and large messages can deplete MQ server's allocated buffer and contribute to unexpected termination of MQ SVRCONN channel instance and may terminate the queue manager. In such a situation, using a negotiated sharing conversations value of 1 as in case #2 will benefit DataPower mq-qm object as it will use IBM WebSphere MQ Version 7 Read Ahead feature and the new buffer management feature for MQGET API call. IBM WebSphere MQ V8 release provides enhanced performance for case #2, when the negotiated sharing conversations value is 1. |
704938e5688ce47a89c91ddedffc28a8_6 | For DataPower firmware releases 7.0.0.x, 7.1.0.x, 7.2.0.x and earlier, one should follow case #1 and use a negotiated sharing conversations value of 0. If you configure these firmware versions with case #2 or case #3, DataPower device may reload or hang due to connection instability and generate many MQ errors with Reason Code - 2009 and 2059.
Cases #2 and #3 can be used in firmware releases 7.5.0.x, 7.5.1.x and later. We suggest to use a value of 10 or less in Sharing Conversations attribute of the mq-qm object and verify the configuration empirically to make sure that IBM WebSphere MQ server can sustain load from DataPower with the negotiated Sharing Conversations of 10. |
704938e5688ce47a89c91ddedffc28a8_7 | Note: In order to use sharing conversations, make sure you have applied APAR IV24821 [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IV24821] ("Client C application process hangs after cancelling thread") to the IBM WebSphere MQ server. IV24821 is included in IBM WebSphere MQ V7.0.1.10 and later, IBM WebSphere MQ V7.1.0.3 and later, IBM WebSphere MQ V7.5.0.1 and later, and IBM WebSphere MQ V8.
In order to identify the negotiated Sharing Conversations status, the following MQ commands are used in the distributed platform.
runmqsc <qmgr>
