Hi,

We have a strange issue is production. We have an application which has MQ input node as input with browse only option, and the application hits web service, and the response is put in a output queue, after that the message is removed from the input queue using MQ Get node. All the MQ nodes in the flow are using MQ policy to connect to a standalone QM, where the queues are present.

The application was working fine till yesterday, but suddenly we are observing a strange issue, wherein the messages get stuck in the queue and it processes only when new messages arrive.

It is not that the messages are taking long time to process, because when we checked Activity logs we see that the messages are processed in less than a minute and we do not see any errors in our logs. And we tried to process these messages in lower environments, there it is getting processed without any issue.

Thanks

Because you have a strange design.

Explain how this is better than simply doing a destructive read with the MQInput node and letting the broker roll it back if something goes wrong.

So the messages are browsed off, processed and not removed or not browsed off?. I assume the former because:

from which I infer the messages are getting processed.

In your postition I'd one of the following and investigate accordingly:

- something changed on the sender side and your flow is now not removing the messages
- the queue manager has used so many browse cursors it's got confused and needs bouncing
- whoever signed off on this design is now laughing at the success of a practical joke

But I wouldn't be in your position because I dislike browsing messages for non-administrative purposes and would have used rollback as I outlined above.

We have logic to retry the processing of same message for certain failures like webservice 502 etc, after a certain interval, hence this design is used.

From past two days what we observed is as soon as the new message comes, only then old message gets processed, say for example currently we have 10 messages which are not processing and stuck, but after sometime when a new message arrives count will still be 10, because first message would have processed by then.

Is it something to do with Reset browse timeout interval? because it is set as -1 for MQ input node. We have two other applications with similar design, but the only difference is Reset browse timeout interval is set to 1. But if this is the case not sure why suddenly from past two days the issue is occuring and not before that.

Apart from that we have one more input queue in the same flow with same parameters which is not having any issue till now and one more HTTP Input. Also, we have 1 additional instance for this flow.
