Thank you for your answer. Having no other option, I have used it with "backup=false".
I use two ActiveMQ servers in network of brokers setup for realtime, non persistent messaging. Throughput is up to several thousands of messages / second on a couple of queues parallel. If it worked, I would be interested in to see if "backup=true" causes a significant decrease in the time of failover. --- Loosely related topic: When I shut down the "primary" broker, messages in the queues (which are in memory) are obviously lost. (Persistent messaging doesn't make sense because of a very low "TTL".) Is there any way to get (or trigger) producers to reconnect to the "secondary" (or backup) broker before the "primary" broker shuts down? If there is no producing on the "to be shut down broker" and remaining messages are consumed before the shutdown then the failover would not cause messages to be lost. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-CPP-backup-true-does-not-work-with-failover-transport-tp4728967p4729101.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
