Hi,

A subscriber application is picking up 3 different types of messages from a single queue.

Msg A: MQRFH format
Frequency of arrival: HIGH

Msg B: MQRFH format
Frequency of arrival: One per day

Msg C: MQRFH2 format
Frequency of arrival: Medium

The Message Delivery Sequence of the queue is set as Priority.

The downstream application team has reported that while processing Msg A there is no problem observed. However once the application receives a Msg C, it cannot process any further messages of type A.

It has been observed that the messages of type A accumulate in the queue itself after they process any messages of type C.

It is only known that the downstream application uses Java-MQ for connecting to the queue.

Any ideas???

What do they do with message type C?

Is it a poison message for them ? ex:

process msg type B
process msg type C -- rollback
process next msg -- type C (see rollback) -- rollback
process next msg -- type C (see rollback) -- rollback...
and so on.

So they never get to the next message as they reprocess message C over and over again...
Application logic error.

Enjoy

If it is being rolled back, you should be able to run amqsbcg against the queue and see the backout count increasing.

Hi,

They are consuming these messages for their own needs.

However the problem has been solved .... it occured because the messages of type A and B had a higher priority value than message C.

When the priority of the messages of type A and B were made to 0 as of C, the subscriber started processing them normally.

Thanks for all your help.
