So if I had to give a one sentence description of RQSTR channels, would I be accurate in saying: "RQSTRs are exactly like RCVRs, except that RQSTRs give you the added benefit of starting the SNDR from the RQSTR side."
If this is true, what's the point of RCVRs? What do you lose by always having RQSTRs? Which is the point of this thread I believe. Seems like nothing but pros for switching to RQSTRs and abandoning RCVRs. -----Original Message----- From: Wyatt, T.

Sometimes the users call to say an expected message is overdue and we see the channel is down. This can mean any number of things that generally fall into two categories - 1) triggering is broken or 2) the app is broken. Either way we call the 3rd party's help desk and work our way from Tier 1 Support up. This can take a while, especially if we escalate to MQ Support for an application problem or vice versa. Starting the channel does two things. First, this narrows down the problem. If the channel starts and no message is received, we escalate to the app support group at the third party site. If we get a message when the channel starts, it's a triggering problem and we get the MQ folks on the line. In the second case we can keep the channel up manually until the third party's MQ support team come on the line. Some of our interfaces are time-sensitive and failure to deliver messages before the daily cutoff date results in potential fines, interest and contractual penalties. In at least a couple of instances starting the RQSTR channel has kept us from missing the deadlines and incurring the financial consequences. Not bad for some free advice I picked up off this list years ago! -- T.Rob -----Original Message----- From: Potkay, Peter M (PLC, IT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 6:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: RCVR versus RQSTR channels T.Rob, I am curious. Exactly in what situation do you take advantage of the fact that you can start the third parties SNDR to you? If your RQSTR (or RCVR) is Inactive, and you can't see the other side, don't you have to assume there is no channel problem? At what point do you say to yourself "Let's try and start their SNDR for them."?
