Whats a JMSGrid?

Hi All,

Working in egate /ICAN for past 6 years. Any documentation on JMSGrid? What is this used for?

In the topics i read so far about JMSGrid, it is supposed to be Loadbalanced/HA JMS queue. If so how does that work?

Any docs on this topic will be greatly apperciated.

Thanks

Ravi

Ravi,JMS Grid became GA with release 5.1.2. If you can get your hands on that version, you will get all the documentation for the product.Bob

Having had a look at the documentation on JMSGrid I have two questions at this time .... any help/experience/comments would be greatly appreciated ....

1 - it seems as though the use of JMSGrid 'could' reduce the dependency on a SAN regarding JMS data for fault tolerance/availability .... since, each daemon in the JMSGrid has it's own message store and each message store is kept in sync.

So, whilst each message store could be on a SAN if one were available .... if a SAN wasn't in fact available in, say, a two host setup, each host could run a daemon with it's own message store .... thereby providing a level of resilience, for JMS data at least, in the absence of a SAN ....

.... is this understanding correct or total blithering top hat?

2 - maintaining message sequence through a topic .... when using JMSGrid is it still true that end to end any message sequencing requirements can still be met using a topic?

Thanks in advance.

1. Yes. You should not need a shared storage2. Yest, that's the expectation
