My understanding of how Heartbeats work is the same as stated in the manual. The heartbeat kicks in when there are NO messages on the transmission queue. If you set it to 30 sec, the first heartbeat would flow 30 sec AFTER the LAST message leaves the transmission queue (leaving the xmit queue empty). This tells the other side (receiver) to close itself and release the resources WITHOUT waiting for the diconnect interval to kick in. And as a result, the channel ends at that point...

I would certainly take that quote to mean that a Heartbeat would disconnect a channel and put it inactive, which is not the way it works. The quote would be accurate if you just stuck the words "Lack of" in front of the whole thing. Typo in the manual??? -----Original Message----- From: Bill Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 12:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Heartbeats and Disconnect interval Peter, The way you said it, is exactly the way I have always believed it to work. My confusion started when I was reading the intercommunication guide (counting sheep never has put me to sleep as well as the intercommunication guide!) and saw the following: Heartbeat flows unblock the receiving MCA, which is waiting for messages to arrive or for the disconnect interval to expire. When the receiving MCA is unblocked it can disconnect the channel without waiting for the disconnect interval to expire. Does IBM mean something other than going inactive when they say disconnect?

As long as things are happy, the heartbeats just let each side know that the other side is alive and kicking during periods where no real MQ messages are flowing. Heartbeats will not cause a channel to go inactive. A lack of the responding heartbeat will. As long as the heartbeats flow, the channel stays up, until the DISCINT is reached, at which point the channel goes to inactive on both side. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 10:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Heartbeats and Disconnect interval I understand what heartbeat and disconnect intervals are and what they do, but one thing puzzles me. The heartbeat should be set significantly lower than the disconnect interval. And, the heartbeat will cause the receiver channel to go inactive in one of two ways: 1. when a heartbeat is sent, one of the things it does is "unblock" a receiver that is waiting for a message / disconnect interval to expire 2. When no heartbeat is sent when one is expected the receiver can go inactive. So my confusion is, if the above is accurate, the disconnect interval would never be the cause of a channel going inactive because the heartbeat would intervene at a much quicker rate. Once in awhile, ya think you understand something, then one day you say, hey, something aint right here!
