Emile, Rebecca, I have not changed the expiry attribute, I mean that I am not explicitly changing the expiry attribute of the message in my application program. I think the default is unlimited expiry time. Do I have to set it to something so that messages remain ?
Plus, today we changed a few attributes of the transmission queue. We set the trigger type to F and also set the inititation queue to SYSTEM.CHANNEL.INITQ so that once a message is received in the transmission queue the Channel is started from its inactive state. But still there is some problem when we stop and restart a channel. Messages just disappear. They are not found on the DLQ either. Paul, Can you explain what you mean by 'trace the channel' ?

Yes, persistence is used when the QMGR needs to recover the queue. If the messages had an expiry time, the QMGR will discard them when the expiry time is reached. Do you have default DLQ assigned to the QMGR?

We stopped the channel for some other purpose(test) and in the meanwhile we had placed a number of messages in the XMITQ. When we noticed the problem we re-started the channel and found that the messages were not there. The messages are not persistant. I thought message persistance was required only when the queue manager itself goes down. Correct me if I am wrong. We are checking the DLQ. Queue was inactive not stopped.

Are you using channel triggering and why is the channel in a stopped state? 2. Are your messages persistant and do you interrogate the expiry option on the message? 3. When you say LOST, are the message gone, have you checked the DLQ?

I had mailed the problem to the listers already yesterday and now I have the problem much more well defined. Hope someone can help. When the sender channel is running and my application program places messages in the queue all goes fine. When the sender channel is stopped and my application program places messages all the messages get accumulated in the XMITQ. When I restart the sender channel the first two messages alone are logged into the remote queue. The rest of the messages are lost. Actually someone over here suggested that the message ids of the rest of the messages are lost and that is why the messages are lost and they said the MQ administrator should be able to log message ids into some buffer area if the channel is not running. Do you have any more suggestions on this ?
