When you define the channel what are you putting in the CONNAME? An IP, or a DNS name?

Hello...

I use the same configuration. I cannot recreate your problem here. Could you post your object definition?

Regards,

Well, it's standard practice to use DNS names, because that way if the IP addresses of your machines change, you don't have to reconfigure everything. However, if your DNS server goes down, so does the channels. But it's pretty rare that you lose DNS (especially if you have multiple servers) so I would use machine names instead of IPs. Keep in mind though that hostnames are case sensitive, and MQSeries upper cases everything you enter unless you stick it in quotes, so if you have a machine called bubba, you want: CONNAME('bubba')

Brandon,

Sorry, I have to disagree.

Hostnames, within the TCP/IP specifications (RFPs ???) are NOT case sensitive. If you do a lookup, or ping, on bubba, BUBBA, or bUBbA you'll get the same result.

Cheers,

Eddie, no need to be "sorry" to disagree with me, go right ahead - it proves that people are actually reading my responses
But yes, that was a slip on my part. I'm always warning people about the case sensitivity of MQSeries object names (i.e., define a queue named bubba without the quotes and then issue an MQOPEN call with bubba); I guess I got a little overzealous and forgot that hostnames indeed don't apply...

Guys,

Thanx for all the response but what is best prectise in this case IP or DNS?
And will this save the problem of not being able to send but only to receive messages?

Wouter,

I would agree with Brandon. Use DNS names as they are (usually) less volatile than IPs. But in the end, it all comes down to your (or your customers) environment.

Just make sure what you specify resolves correctly. (Fully qualified name vs hostname within domain). One other poster in these forums got caught out when he specified a ConName for a Cluster Receiver channel that wasn't resolvable when it was distributed to another machine in the cluster.

BTW Did you ever get the original question resolved. What happened to the ConName.

Cheers,

Also, if you plan to have disaster recovery built-in hten it is always desirable to have DNS, so that failover can take place.
