Hi,
Since we have Message Retry Count and Message retry interval (MRTMR) on the Receiver and Requester Channels, at WMQ., then why there is a need for having Retry Mechanism at Message Broker (in case we are using v8 / IIB v9) ?
Is that only because all the applications may not be having/using WMQ at either ends, to send/receive the message? (I think so)
Is that because all the messages are not necessarly to be of MQ messages with MQMD or other Headers? (I think so)
Is that because Broker is hosting on MQ Queue manager but not the Sender and/or Receiver Applications. Whereas to set MQ Message Retry they need to have receiver/requester or both of these channels (paired with sender/server channels, not talking about MQ cluster channels here.) to utilize the MQ message Retry function? (I think so)
Is that because by setting MQ message retry feature one can ensure the message delivery (after x number of retry and with Y retry interval) at transport or infrastructure layer. Whereas WMB retry mechanism might be closely abide by Business requirement(s) and is good to have Retry there ? (I think so)
Appreciate your suggestions. Thanks.

You're confusing the Channel's message retry capability with an application's capability to handle a message multiple time rolling back the unit of work and handling a poison message...
The channel agent does the message retry to enable message delivery when the consumer is slower than the producer, or the consumer queue is full (-> moving to the DLQ... ). Once the xmitq is full too the putting app will receive an error.
Message retry at an application level is firstly due to a condition that prevents the application from processing the message normally. (Resource inavailability, poison message, etc...). It stores the message for a retry later hoping that the condition was transitory and it will be now able to process the message...
Hope this clarifies some.

It helps certainly...

Would it be possible to describe this a bit more..
When do we call a message as a Poison Message, if an input message is schema(wsdl/xsd) based and schema validation is placed at WebService Application (HTTP protocol, SOAPInput) Level?

A poison message is an MQ construct, not a web service one. You'll recall you originally posted regarding the retry intervals on Receiver and Requester channels. These don't deal with poison messages (as previously discussed); a poison message is one which is read from an input queue. If (in your example) it fails schema validation it will be rolled back onto the input queue, from which it will be read again. If the consuming application doesn't examine the backout count then this message will fail again, roll back and the process will continue without end, "poisoning" the process.
By default the MQInput node checks the backout count, and prevents this situation. If the default handling is not acceptable, you need handling in the code.

Channel message retry is about queues being full momentarily etc.
In fact this option can be a problem, because it causes a delay to all other persistent messages waiting to be sent over the same channel.
If you have a large number of messages going to the same (full) queue - then the retry attempt delay (10 seconds per message by default) can seriously impair your other applications using that same channel.

Thank to you all.
So, to deal with WebService Messages, the application level retry (herer at WMB/IIB) mechanism is apt. (when communication is async. especially).
Whereas to deal with MQ construct message, Channel Message Retry might be used (by keeping in mind, whether that channel is getting used by other applications or not).
Or may be the combination of both, where message transformation is being done at WMB/IIB level as per the business requirements(if any).
