ActiveMQ Classic to IBM MQ Bridge Throughput

[Jason Jackson <ja...@itechag.com.INVALID>]

I am using ActiveMQ Classis 5.18.3, I am working on upgrading to 6.1.0.

Until I am able to perform the update I have created a bridge using Spring/Camel built into ActiveMQ to IBM MQ.

I am able to connect to IBM MQ and send/receive message without any issues.

My ActiveMQ to IBM MQ bridge begins and uses the following:

	<bean id=QMGR1" class="org.apache.camel.component.jms.JKmsComponent">
		<property name="configuration">
			<bean class="org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsConfiguration">
				<property name="connectionFactory">
					<bean calss="com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueueConnectionFactory">

While the connection works and messages are passed the issue I am experiencing is with throughput.  I am only ale pass approximately 63 messages per second.

Does anyone have any suggestion on what changes could possibly be made to increase the message throughput between the two products?

Jason

Thnks for the information

I was working on caching but the Camel that is shipped with ActiveMQ does not appear to provide the same functionality and/or use the same settings that a full Camel installation provides; there is also the possibility I am setting something incorrectly as well.

Are there are suggestions on how caching should be set-up/configure for Spring/Camel within an ActiveMQ instance?

As for concurrentConsumers I am using this option, I set a minimum and maximum number.  I have noticed that there appears to be a threshold hit on the maximum number of consumers; any number above 50 does not make a difference.

Hi Jason,

There are quite a few variables to consider for this, but from the top of my head I'd suggest you look into increasing the "cache-level" and "concurrentConsumers" properties of camel-jms and possibly provide pooling or caching of your connections using something like Springs "CachingConnectionFactory" or PooledJMS (https://github.com/messaginghub/pooled-jms").

Strong YMMV disclaimer depending on your specific setup and requirements though, make sure to test these things properly.
