PRB: Independent Clients Cannot Receive Messages While Offline (178926)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) 1.0
This article was previously published under Q178926 SYMPTOMS
When attempting to receive messages sent to a public local queue on a
independent client, all ActiveX clients stop responding while offline when
invoking the "open" method.
NOTE: Eventually the network call times out and control is returned to the
client application. At that point, it works as expected. This time out
varies from two to ten minutes.
CAUSE
When the "open" method is invoked, the ActiveX object attempts to query the
queue properties from the site controller, and not the local data store.
WORKAROUND
This problem has been fixed in the Windows NT Option Pack version of
Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ). You can resolve this problem by
downloading this version and upgrading all independent clients to this
version.
Although upgrading to the Windows NT Option Pack version of MSMQ is
recommended, a workaround is to use private queues, because private queues
do not suffer from this problem. Private queue information exists only on
the local hard disk drive in the Msmq\Storage\Lqs directory, not on the
site controller.
REFERENCES
For more information on using the MSMQ ActiveX objects, refer to the SDK
online documentation.
