Ray - I agree. I was not a part of the initial decision to buy this component and the people who made this decision no longer work for the company.
Now I have the ability to either renew or not renew the support for this component.

This was more a general question; independent of any enterprise.

IBM WebSphere MQ Dependencies

Hello All, Its time for us to renew our support renewal and to save some money, I want to propose we don't renew "IBM WebSphere MQ" support, because we have never used it and have no plans on using it in future. Before I have the plug pulled on it, I wanted to check if there are any downst...

I have had similar if not the same issues in the past.

Plausible suggestions:
- Check the executables/icons you are using to invoke the application.(Sometimes an uninstall does not clean up the icons on the desktop)
- Check what version the Multi-Client Manager is referring to

You should be good. 7.5 and 8.1 can co-exist on the same server. Use the Multi-Client Manager to switch between the versions.

Dynamically No. You would need to land it somewhere else, maybe a file or a database and read it the next time, you run the job.

Thanks Craig and Ray for your inputs on this.
Since we have the luxury of 2 Production Servers, I am going to make it one and monitor it more.
Will update this post, if there are any new findings.

Test Results: On a Sandbox Server, I swapped the value of the 64BIT_FILES to 1 for test purpose. As anticipated some of the files grew larger than 2 GB. (Job building them did not choke). The performance did not take a hit either. Pardon my ignorance on the 32 Vs 64 Bit Hashed File Architecture. Oth...

Greetings Craig. :D I am aware of the implications of switching this value. - "ALL" the new hashed files will be created as a 64 bit. I have read conversations saying - Don't do that... it will degrade the performance ..... (But nothing quantifiable) But have not seen anybody going this ro...

Changing 64BIT_FILES to 1

Some of the hash files are getting bigger than 2 GB and we are having to design workarounds to overcome this. Planning on biting the bullet - setting the 64BIT_FILES to 1 in the uvconfig file. Has anybody done this? Have you seen any degradation in the performance? Any Red Flags? Please share your t...
