• DB2 storage

  DB2 storage describes how to determine how much storage DB2 requires for the WebSphere MQ data.

• Coupling Facility storage

  Planning the size of your structures describes how to determine how large to make your Coupling Facility structures.

• Page set and message storage

  Planning your page sets and buffer pools describes how to determine how much storage your page data sets require, depending on the sizes of the messages that your applications exchange, on the numbers of these messages, and on the rate at which they are created or exchanged.
