Hi
I´m using the Request/Reply adapter service in the Websphere MQ adapter (v6.0), in a realtime system and I have run into some performance issues.
I have defined multiple mq connections to the same host (for load balancing) since the Request/Reply adapter locks the connection during the whole process.
The problem is that the Request/Reply adapter service exclusively lock the response queue, so while connection_1 is looking at the queue it prevents connection_2 from looking at the same queue until connection_1 has either received its response or gets a timeout.
=> serial (single threaded) behaviour.
The adapter service has an option: “Open Queue in shared Mode”, but it does not seem to make any difference 
Responses must be delivered within <3s, so it´s vital that multiple connections can simultaneously look at the same queue.
One temporary solution (not a good one though) is of course to define more response queues.
Does anyone know of there is a way to come around this?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
Mikael
