We have an application sitting on one QM in a cluster, sending messages to a cluster Q that lives on 2 other servers. Under normal conditions, this is working fine.

But we are running some tests to see how the system copes with outages. When we pull the network cable from one of the servers, we expected the channel to drop into retry mode with the next message attempt, and then all other messages would be routed to the "good" server. However, we are seeing the channel stay in Running state for a few minutes, and messages begin to build up on the Transmit queue. Eventually, the channel does drop to a Binding/Retry state, but because of the time taken, we are "loosing" too many messages.

I did find this reference http://www.mqseries.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20375&highlight=keepalive+hbint which implies that non-persistent messages can cause what we are seeing.

What can I configure, so that even when running non-persistent messages, the channel will drop out of rRunning status as soon as connectivity is lost.

Cheers,

Not sure yet. That's the next scheduled test.

You might review MD0C, too. It's more about how to keep the channels running, but it does talk about some stuff that would be useful in telling a channel to stop as well.

Eddie, that's some weird behaviour. Are you cuurent with MQ maintenance? (although I have never heard of a bug like that being fixed in any CSD))

Have you tried repeating the test using NP mesages over a fast channel that is a plain SNDR / RCVR channel, to possibly eliminate or implicate this as a pure clustering channel problem?

Does setting a low value for BATCHHB on the channel help ?
