Heartbeat is valid for recievers. The below is from the Intercommunication Handbook.
<Quote> HeartBeat This attribute is valid for sender, cluster-sender, server, receiver, cluster-receiver, and requester channels. Other than on OS/390 and OS/400, it also applies to server-connection and client-connection channels. On these channels, heartbeats flow when a server MCA has issued an MQGET command with the WAIT option on behalf of a client application. <End Quote> Peter Potkay IBM MQSeries Certified Specialist, Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] X 77906 -----Original Message----- From: Paul Meekin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 11:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Keep Alive vs Heartbeat - What's the diff? If I remember correctly, Heartbeat only works for Sender channels, keepalive only works for receivers. Fuzzy on the details though. "Potkay, Peter M (PLC, IT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 02/12/2002 14:59:17 Please respond to MQSeries List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: Paul Meekin) Subject: Keep Alive vs Heartbeat - What's the diff? What is the difference between these two, if any? Seems to me they both accomplish the same thing (allowing one side of a channel to see that the network is down and thus being able to go Inactive). The only thing I can guess is that Keep Alive applies only to TCP while Heartbeat will work for other transmission protocols as well as TCP. Was Keep Alive the only thing available at one time, and now is kind of useless if you have HeartBeat available to you?
