Exception destination

Use these properties to define what happens to any messages that cannot be delivered to this destination.

 

None

The bus destination does not use an exception destination and undeliverable messages are not rerouted to an exception destination.

Attempts to redeliver the message continue, up to the maximum failed deliveries limit set for the bus destination. Then, attempts to redeliver the message continue with a time interval between retry attempts. This interval is either the Default blocked destination retry interval of the messaging engine that is associated with this destination, or the Blocked retry timeout that is set for this destination. The Default blocked destination retry interval value can be used by all queue and topic destinations associated with this messaging engine. To set a time interval specifically for this destination, select Override messaging engine blocked retry timeout default, then enter a blocked retry timeout value for this destination.

Override messaging engine blocked retry timeout default

Override the blocked queue retry interval configured on the messaging engine owning the destination.

Select this property to set the blocked retry timeout for this destination. This property is available only when None is selected for the exception destination.

Required

Yes, if None is selected.

Data type

Check box

Default

Unchecked. The Default blocked destination retry interval value of the associated messaging engine is used.

 

Blocked retry timeout in milliseconds

When no exception destination is configured, the time interval to apply between retry attempts, after the maximum failed deliveries limit is reached, for this destination.

This property is available only when Override messaging engine blocked retry timeout default is selected in the exception destination properties.

Required

Yes, if Override messaging engine blocked retry timeout default is checked.

Data type

System

The bus destination uses the system default exception destination.

Undeliverable messages are routed to the system default exception destination of the messaging engine that detects the problem: _SYSTEM.Exception.Destination.messaging_engine_name.

Maximum failed deliveries per message

The maximum number of failed attempts to process a message. After this number of failed attempts, if an exception destination is configured, the message is forwarded from the intended destination to its exception destination. If an exception destination is not configured, a time interval between retry attempts is applied.

This interval is either the Default blocked destination retry interval of the messaging engine that is associated with this destination, or the Blocked retry timeout that is set for this destination.

Required

Yes, if an exception destination has been configured.

Message points


Publication points

A publication point is created on each messaging engine in the bus when a publish/subscribe destination is created. The publication point on a messaging engine is used to hold messages published by applications connected to that messaging engine until they are delivered to subscribers.


Mediation points

The mediation points for the topic space. The locations in the messaging engine at which messages on the topic space are mediated.
