Author: rookie-0d50ef77d725 Message: we have been using listener ports for years and trying to see how same configration can be set using activation spec.
1- is it good idea to use activation spec without using SIB? 2- each activation spec (for WebSphere MQ Resource Adapter at least) requires to set host,port,channel,qmgr and it doesnt use connection factory like listener ports used to? 3- 'Maximum server sessions' in activation spec is similar (mostly same) as 'Maximum sessions' in listener ports? 4- what equivalent of listener ports 'Maximum messages' in activaton spec, and how max msgs apply on activaton spec? 5- 'Number of sequential delivery failures before suspending endpoint' in activation spec is same as 'Maximum retries' in listener ports? 6- how about non-ASF mode in activaton spec, does that apply to activaton spec? is there a document how activaton spec reads msg from queue like following for listener port? http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0611_titheridge/0611_titheridge.html 7- in clustered env all the cluster member's MDB instance will get msg from activaton spec (activaton spec is defined at cell level), is it possible to control what cluster meber should receive message. In listener ports we use to control it by stopping 'listener ports' on specific cluster members? only reason we have to use 'activation spec' is, company thinks IBM will stop support for listener ports and will pull it out from WAS, however I've seen contradictory comments https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/woolf/entry/rad_6_listener_port_vs?lang=en but hey we got to do what we get paid for ;) Thanks for you help.
