maxRedelivery
The
maxRedelivery property specifies the number of attempts the server should make to deliver a message sent to a queue.
Set maxRedelivery using the form:
maxRedelivery=count
where
count is an integer between 2 and 255 that specifies the maximum number of times a message can be delivered to receivers. A value of zero disables
maxRedelivery, so there is no maximum.
Once the server has attempted to deliver the message the specified number of times, the message is either destroyed or, if the
JMS_TIBCO_PRESERVE_UNDELIVERED property on the message is set to true, the message is placed on the undelivered queue so it can be handled by a special consumer. See
Undelivered Message Queue for details.
For messages that have been redelivered, the
JMSRedelivered header property is set to true and the
JMSXDeliveryCount property is set to the number of times the message has been delivered to the queue. If the server restarts, the current number of delivery attempts in the
JMSXDeliveryCount property is not retained.
maxRedelivery count can be mistakenly incremented. An abrupt exit prevents the client from communicating with the server; for example, when the client exits without closing the connection or when the client application crashes. If a client application exits abruptly, the EMS server counts all messages sent to the client as delivered, even if they were not presented to the application.
