Non-Disruptive Solution for Load Balancing Queue Managers After Recycling

At Banco do Brasil, we have a Queue Sharing Group (QSG) with 6 Queue Managers (QMs), where each QM runs on a separate Logical Partition (LPAR). Load distribution between these QMs is done through a shared listener associated with a Virtual IP Address (VIPA). The application running on these QMs operates 24x7.


These QMs are recycled every 15 days, with 3 recycled one weekend and the other 3 the next. When we recycle the QMs, the connections from each stopped QM are activated in the next one, causing the system to become unbalanced. To rebalance these connections, we must manually STOP and START the channels, which is disruptive.

We are requesting IBM to provide a non-disruptive solution to balance the load of QMs after recycling, so that the redistribution of connections happens automatically and without the need for manual intervention. This would ensure continuous operations and better system performance.

Category/Product: IBM MQ

Expected Benefits:
- Minimization of disruptions in 24x7 operations.
- Improved system performance and stability.
- Reduction in the need for manual intervention, thereby decreasing the risk of human errors.
- Better user experience due to more efficient connection balancing.
