The other advantage of a RQSTR/SDR pair is that you can start the channel from either end (assuming the other end is not in STOPPED state).

Rob Sent: 19 February 2004 17:25 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Automatic Channel Restart Slight clarification here...the RQSTR is intended to start *either* a SVR or a SDR channel. The difference between a SVR and a SDR is not whether they can be started remotely, but what they do when the RQSTR is not the same QMgr as provided in the SDR/SVR CONNAME. A SDR will always try to connect to the QMgr in it's CONNAME whereas a SVR will try to connect to the IP address and port of the RQSTR that called it. If a SVR is used simply because there is a RQSTR on the other side, and without understanding the difference, it may result in an unintended security exposure. In the absence of a security exit or SSL, anyone who knows the name of a SVR can create a RQSTR to start it and divert it to any arbitrary address. On the other hand, attempting the same thing with a SDR results in the SDR starting to it's intended destination. -- T.Rob -----Original Message----- From: Thomas, Don [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 9:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Automatic Channel Restart Brent, Yes it does make sense. The requestor channel is intended to start the server channel. That's the design of the requester/server channel pairing, although we do not currently use that configuration in my environment. It does seem suspicious though that the problem stops after removing the latest CSD.
