I have a 3 queue manager cluster with one of the queue managers acting
as a gateway for queue managers outside of the cluster. I have two
occurences of a cluster queue, one on each of the non-gateway queue
managers. The cluster queue definitions are set to defbind - Not Fixed.
On the gateway queue manager I have a queue manager alias that resolves to null, i.e. both RNAME and RMNAME are blank. On the queue managers outside the cluster I have defined a remote queue definition using the queue manager alias that is defined on the gateway as the RQMNAME and the cluster queue as the RNAME and I have traditional distributed channels (SDR/RCVR) defined to carry messages to the gateway. When I put a message on the remote queue that is outside the cluster the gateway queue manager resolves the destination queue correctly as being an instance of the clustered queue and the workload exit alternately routes the messages from one to the other instance. However, when I stop one of the queue managers which owns an instance of the clustered queue, the next message that arrives on the gateway queue manager disappears. When a second message is sent it shows up on the remaining instance of the clustered queue. The first message that I try to send does not show up on the cluster xmitq, or the dead letter queue of either the sending queue manager, the gateway queue manager, or the active queue manager that owns the instance of the clustered queue. I have a full repository on the gateway queue manger and on one of the other queue managers with the third holding a partial. It doesn't matter which queue manager holding an instance of the cluster queue I stop, the result is the same. The first inbound message disappears and the subsequent messages arrive at the active instance. Any ideas as to what I need to do to ensure that I do not lose any messages?
