Route Properies->Que depth issue

[Walter Ericson]

We have a problem in which we get messages queued in the route.

The thead is green but the arrow is red.

Today I stopped and started the thread and moments later all the items queued appeared as pending in the thread.  And moments later, the 800+ items had cleared out.  I had watched this for several minutes and it looked like they were backed up in the route.

This site has 38 threads and 3 processes.  The message flow is from one process to another process.  We are on AIX 5.1 and CloverLeaf 5.2.

Has anyone had this problem?

Why does this happen and what can I do about it?

Thanks

Walter,

I have experienced this issue, and it is due to something ‘hanging’ in the cross-process communication between the inbound and outbound thread.  Unfortunately, you can’t define an alert to notifiy you of messages that are post-xlate queued (state 7).  We’ve taken the approach to keep all inbound –> outbound threads in the same process; we’ll create ‘bridge’ (localhost tcp/ip) threads if necessary to keep in/out in the same process.  For example:

Process 1           Process2

Inbound

---

> Outbound

becomes:

             Process1                                              Process2

Inbound

---

> bridgeOut1 ……………….bridgeIn1

---

> Outbound

                 (localhost client)                (Server)

Hope this helps/makes sense

Thanks very much.

This makes sense.  It was kind of what I was expecting.

I was just hoping for a cause and solution kind of answer.

Although, your solution is a good answer.

Thanks again,
