We recognise that this is a valid requirement. However it doesn't fit with our delivery plans for the next couple of years.
As a result we are declining this Idea. While declined the Idea can still be voted, and commented, upon.
So, this could be useful if message can be processed later without need for a repair of its content. The question is then what can cause such conditions, would the next message be immediately processable in that case, what's the big gain in that case, etc... This is actually not driven primarily by me, as an mq admin, but by application providers who claim it could be useful, don't provide repair application module, but only the main processing module. They don't even care how reprocessing of messages happens, thinking it's not their responsibility but mine, they just don't want to cause infinite loop of backouts, so they require me to setup BOQNAME and BOTHRESH, just to avoid that scenario. But I'm not happy with the scenario they envision, either.
Hi David, I have envisioned usage of that attributes as optional, so, for people who think it would not be useful there is no problem to just ignore it. However, there is a class of problems that can prevent transaction commit, and as such produce infinite number of rollbacks/backouts, which doesn't require very complex and involved process to rectify the problem, but require resubmitting of messages after the problem is resolved, for example when the content of no particular message is poisonous, but still couldn't be processed normally. So just setting BOQNAME and BOTHRESH to prevent infinite loops (which is done by JMS layer) is only a half of solution.
I have to disagree with this request, if I am reading it correctly. It reads to me that the backout queue, currently defined in the QL, should be further processed by the queue manager to return the messages to the original queue at some time/interval/condition.
This should not be the responsibility of the queue manager. Messages that are placed in a backout queue by an application muct be processed/filtered by a repair application that can look at the message and better determine why it was rejected by the original recipient; in many applications, this is a complex and involved process. Simply putting the data back on the original queue will probably not correct the poison message issue.
I do agree with the enhancement requests that recommend a new parameter to define how may backouts should be allowed before the queue manager automatically moves the message to the backout queue.
