RE: Still necessary/recommended to rebuild data queues regularly?

I never knew that was an IBM recommendation, but I've seen large ERP systems that never creates or deletes DTAQs, I've seen this practice since 1994 at least.

I guess it depends on the design of your application, if there is some sort of processing during the night that might use that DTAQ, it is very likely that you could lose data or at least get someone mad.

In the ERP of my job, we create the DTAQs on new customer implementations or new functionalities that would require it, there is DTAQs that I've created since 12 years ago that they are still there, with their original creation date.

Subject: Still necessary/recommended to rebuild data queues regularly?

Our application uses data queues "a lot" and out of habit and tradition the queues get deleted and created afresh in the overnight runs.

I believe this way of handling them was an IBM recommendation some years ago.

The question is: Is it still necessary to delete/create data queues like this? OR Could we just let them be - like forever. Never deleting them. Just create queues when needed and let them sit.
