It's good to see the healthy debate, kicked off by my recent question and I hence taken the liberty of summarising it (for future references):
"RQSTRs are exactly like RCVRs, except that RQSTRs give you the added benefit of starting the SNDR( or SVR) from the RQSTR side." RQSTR is useful: 1) where receiving QMGR is more unstable (more times rebooted) than the sending QMGR. In which case this will help starting the channel as soon the receiving box/QMGR comes up and running (irrespective senders retry intervals). RCVR is useful: 1) where due to firewalls and other security restrictions the receiving QMGR, don't know nor care the partner name AND/OR not allowed to initiate a conversation with the sending QMGR. Hence RCVR is more suitable than RQSTR. 2) where IP addresses or DNS names keep changing - less administrative changes in RCVR compare to RQSTR. Hope I summarised it correctly.

I suspect there was some difference early on that no longer applies. -- T.Rob -----Original Message----- From: Potkay, Peter M (PLC, IT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 12, 2004 8:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: RCVR versus RQSTR channels 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.
