There's a difference between a PUT and a PUBLISH.

A published message only goes to active/existing subscriptions.

A subscription doesn't publish messages (I know you know that, but you said "There are then admin subscriptions (the same configuration on each IIB server) that publish the messages to an alias queue, again on the IIB server."

If your admin subscriptions are pointing to Alias queues, and those point to queues in the cluster... then I *think* that messages sent to those subscriptions would end up on the cluster xmitq. But you might try using qremotes for the destination of the admin subscriptions.

I tried taking it out of the cluster and then the local alias won't put at all (it can't find the target), which is as expected.

I then tried putting it back into the cluster, and stopping the OUT1 queue manager (as before), but this time putting multiple messages.

The first message triggers the following error in the system log:

Quote:
Channel x to localhost(1417) ended abnormally


and is lost; the rest of the messages make it.

From this, I have realised it's a persistence issue; and it is in fact working as it should.

Thanks again!

Yes, make sure the messages are persistent.

For event information, it is interesting to subscribe to it via durable subscription, so that recurring subscriber doesn't "miss a beat" while it is inactive. For state information, it is interesting to publish it with MQPMO_RETAIN, so that new subscriber doesn't have to wait for the new publication.

I'd say you are interested in subscription durability, as your topic title suggests, but who knows? I am also not very familiar with these pub/sub notions, wanted to test that theory a little bit with API exerciser, but I didn't succeed. Not because of the tool, but because of the unfamiliarity.

They will.

We use Administrative subscriptions pointing at Alias queues that resolve to clustered queues a lot.
