Re: Channel Retry Counts/Intervals

[Stephan C. Moen]

I know that I am opening myself up to a lot of CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM but I will be more than happy to take the ‘slings and arrows’ to benefit the entire community as to what these channel attributes should be set to.   From my perspective (‘have yet to implement this scenario in a production environment’) I would set LongRetryCount and LongRetryInterval to ZERO and arbitrary values for ShortRetry Count + Interval that are tailored to your production environment.  Once the ShortRetry* attributes have elapsed, the channel will go into a STOPPED state.  If you give the network 10 minutes (shorretryinterval=30, shorretrycount=20) or 60 minutes (shortretryinterval=60, shortretrycount=60) to clean itself up, isn’t that enough?  Why do I want to stay in a retrying state FOREVER?  A more robust solution should incorporate the ADOPTNEWMCA, ADOPTNEWMCATIMEOUT and DISCINT (and optionally HBINT) attributes to break a connection within the window defined by the ShorRetry* settings.  Therefore if the channel DOES go into a STOPPED state, you really know you have a problem.   OK, I now am wearing my shield of armor and am ready to defend myself, so let them arrows fly and see what collective decision we can make…   Steve   -----Original Message----- From: MQSeries List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Glen Shubert Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 10:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Channel Retry Counts/Intervals   Edward, We just went through the same thing, and we came up with the following:         Short Retry Count  :  60         Short Retry Interval  :  60         Long Retry Count  :  999999999         Long Retry Interval  :  300 Glen Shubert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Associate Director TSYS - MQSeries Technical Support   Edward Pius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: MQSeries List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/16/2003 10:31 AM Please respond to MQSeries List                 To:        [EMAIL PROTECTED]         cc:                 Subject:        Channel Retry Counts/Intervals Hello,        Are there any preferred values for the sender channel short and long retry counts and intervals different from the default values?        The defaults I have for  a sender channel from an Win 2000 queue manager to a OS/390 queue manager  are :        Short Retry Count : 10        Short Retry Interval : 60        Long Retry Count : 999999999        Long Retry Interval : 1200        In appreciation, Edward Pius Instructions for managing your mailing list subscription are provided in the Listserv General Users Guide available at http://www.lsoft.com Archive: http://vm.akh-wien.ac.at/MQSeries.archive   This message was content-scanned by GatewayDefender.com 6/16/2003 - 12:01:16 PM - BB0395deca.00000001.mml
