Backout target for subscriber objects

Many of our topic/subscriber objects are defined on the queue managers instead of being dynamically created by applications. These subscriptions then point to a queue on the same queue manager.
When the destination queue has an issue (like it being full or put disabled), it causes the messages to be directly put on the dead letter queue.

Once the messages are on the DLQ it becomes difficult to send out alerting for the responsible group. For security reasons we also can't give developers access to the DLQ.
A DLQ handler solution is not ideal as we would need to create separate rules per queue object.

A possible solution would be to have an extra parameter for subscriber objects that defines a second message destination for when the first one fails. Somewhat similar to the BOQNAME parameter for local queues.

    This is not something we are likely to do in MQ.

    The suggested soljution would require adding new attributes on each object which would then require individual admininistration and setting. Instead we recommend making use of the DLQ handler with wildcarded rules; that can move messages to application-specific locations if necessary. And the source for the DLQ handler is available in the samples directories so you can further customise it if you want.
