MQSeries.net :: View topic - Reconnection after exception MQRC_CONNECTION_BROKEN

infometis

Hi,

We have a MQ JSM version 5.1 running under windows 2000, we are a little new to this stuff but we would like
to know is it possible to reconnect to a queue after a network outrage (when we are reading the message from the queue).

Should we catch the MQRC_CONNECTION_BROKEN exception, sleep and reopen and reconnect to the queue - we are doing this
at the moment with the heartbeat of 10 seconds (we are opening the queue in exclusive only) and it seems to work
but is there a better solution?

We would like to connect to the queue using exclusive mode - to guarantee that only one program can read from the queue.

We have used the old trail and error method and when we open the queue exclusive with a heartbeat of 0 then the program
gets a network outrage and ends - we cannot read message from the queue with out restarting the whole thing (even when
we push new messages in the queue) - is there a way to avoid this?

Thanks
