BatchInterval (MQLONG)

This field specifies the approximate time in milliseconds that a channel keeps a batch open, if fewer than BatchSize messages have been transmitted in the current batch.

• BatchSize messages have been sent, or
• BatchInterval milliseconds have elapsed since the start of the batch.

If BatchInterval is zero, the batch is terminated by whichever of the following events occur first:

• BatchSize messages have been sent, or
• the transmission queue becomes empty.

BatchInterval must be in the range zero through 999 999 999.

This field is relevant only for channels with a ChannelType of MQCHT_SENDER, MQCHT_SERVER, MQCHT_CLUSSDR, or MQCHT_CLUSRCVR.

This is an input field to the exit. The field is not present when Version is less than MQCD_VERSION_4.
