In a WebSphere MQ environment where five queue managers are in a hub-and-spoke configuration how many channels must be created in order for the four spoke queue managers to exchange messages with the one hub queue manager hub-and-spoke configuration?

Thanks, -Code

If you include all the queue managers in a WMQ cluster, you will need to define 1. on the hub: a. CLUSRCVR channel pointing to itself 2. on each of the 4 spokes: a. CLUSRCVR channel pointing to itself b. CLUSSDR channel pointing to the hub queue manager; same name as the hub's CLUSRCVR channel

The hub qmgr should be designated as the REPOS for the cluster.

See document http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r0/topic/com.ibm.mq.csqzah.doc/qc10120_.htm in the WMQ V7.0 InfoCenter for complete instructions on setting up a cluster.
