Propagating DB2 data via MQS

Propagating DB2 data via MQS

If you want to automatically propagate data from DB2 via triggers and stored procedures to a MQ, you will experience problems. MQ will not retain a connect between invocations of the stored procedure because of the change of TCB. There are two solutions:

1) Reconnect to the MQ each time you wish to send a message (costs 30 ms).

2) Triggers write to a DB2 table that can be polled by a program that puts the data onto an MQ. This results in very minimal delay (1-2 ms) in processing each record, and allows records to be transmitted on the MQ within a few seconds of the update occurring.

This tip has been tested on DB2 V6 for OS390.

Rick P. writes: Pete must have read our project plan. One of our projects intends to use triggers and stored procedures with MQ. His tip was timely. Being new to MQ, I wish he had given a bit more meat to the tip.
