Mechanism to sysplex Load Balance transaction requests needed to process CICS/MQ messages

Mechanism for sysplex Load Balancing of the number of transaction requests needed to process CICS/MQ messages and the number of applications processing information relating to the transaction requests.

A message arriving on the message queue might send one or more trigger messages to the trigger queue, which might send a message to the Load Balancer instructing the Load Balancer to monitor the message queue.

The Load Balancer should monitor the number of messages received at the message queue. Based on the number of messages in the message queue, the Load Balancer should trigger or start applications to process the transaction requests contained in the messages in the message queue.

Applications should be able to query information relating to the transaction request and analyze that information to determine one or more responses to the transaction requests.

The applications should be able to send the responses to the message queue, which in turn, would send the responses to one or more computing devices. The Load Balancer should be able to monitor and report the operations of the load balancing system to the journal.

    We have assessed this requirement. We have no current plans for this to be implemented and so this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
