If there are 3 integration nodes configured in multi broker cache topology ( Policy File is below), each integration node containing one catalog server each, does the stopping of any integration node cause cache becoming unavailable across all 3 integration nodes?

My understanding is - It should not unless all 3 nodes are stopped

Excerpts from https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSMKHH_9.0.0/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/bc23789_.htm



"Two brokers that each host a catalog server; if one catalog server fails, the global cache switches to the catalog server in the other broker."

Please confirm.

<cachePolicy xmlns="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/websphere/messagebroker/globalcache/policy-1.0">


<broker name="IBNODE1" listenerHost="Host1">

<!--
This broker hosts one catalog server.

<!--

I assume that you have tested this, and you are not getting the expected result? Please confirm

Yes. It is inconsistent most of the time. In several occasions in the past, restarting one of the integration server in 3rd Integration node ( IB3) has caused cache becoming unavailable for more than 15 minutes.

Assuming the first message through a flow will wait (in
theMbGlobalMap.getGlobalMap() call) for up to 30 seconds or more in the case of integration server restart - it should not have caused the cache to become unavailable ?

Before I proceed further, I would like to check if the expected behavior of multi broker cache topology ( each integration node containing one catalog server each) if restart of any integration server/node would cause cache becoming unavailable across all 3 integration nodes?

I would open a PMR at this point. My understanding of the term 'highly available' does not include a 15-minute outage. Maybe there's something in your setup that makes switching to the new catalog server very slow?

Thanks. I will have Salesforce case / PMR created for the behavior.

To confirm, In ideal case - In multi broker cache topology ( each integration node containing one catalog server each) cache should be available except for initial boot time of 15 to 30 seconds during the restart of any integration server/node right?

I think an IBM PMR might get you a better result

I'm afraid it's no use asking me to comment on what should happen. I'm just reading the docs, same as you are. I agree that with your interpretation of the docs, but that's about all I can say.
