Calculating MQ data space
Two tables are used to store MQ data.
About this task
Collect MQ data as follows:
- Estimate the number of application programs that are used in the CICS® region that use MQ. Call this number NUM_MQ_PROG.
- Estimate the average number of MQ calls per program. Call this number AVG_MQ.
- Estimate the number of transaction and program associations. In this example, the estimate is that each can be associated with five transactions.
- Calculate MQ data space as follows:
(103 * NUM_MQ_PROG * AVG_MQ * PROG_TRAN_RATIO) + (60 * NUM_MQ_PROG * AVG_MQ * PROG_TRAN_RATIO) = MQ_DS bytes
