MQ Stage to process Real time messages from Mainframe

[DSFreddie]

Hi All,

I am planning to use MQ Stage to read real time data from MF Message Queues. There are 2 data centers where the records would be transmitted.

i.e. records from Mainframe Data Center A will be transmitted to Midrange server A as well as the Datacenter B (eventually to Midrange server B also )to keep the data in sync ( & vice versa). The issue that we could foresee is in the case of a Maintenance in the midrange end ( that typically last for 4/5 hours) where the MQ in the Midrange will be on a total shutdown. (We cannot pile up the data in the MF message queues for a longer period of time).

Can you pls suggest me an ideal way to handle this scenario. Pls let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

It's not quite clear what your questions are. Are you planning to listen to one message queue or more than one? Are you intending to be the glue to keep everything in sync? I would think your MQ administrators could increase the queue size to handle more down time if need be.
