Message Queuing (MSMQ): Messages Are Sent to the MQSeries Bridge Dead Letter Queue (324099)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) 1.0
This article was previously published under Q324099

SYMPTOMS

You can send messages to the MSMQ-MQSeries Bridge Dead Letter queue with Microsoft SNA 4.0 systems. MQSeries messages can include a ReplyQ field and a ReplyQMgr field. These fields are the equivalent of PROPID_M_RESP_QUEUE (and the Administrative queue). The Bridge always converts these fields to a format name that is included as the PROPID. If conversion fails, the Bridge puts the message in its Dead Letter queue.

This hotfix makes the following changes:
  • Although the hotfix does not change the default behavior, it makes sure that messages are sent to the MSMQ-MQSeries Bridge Dead Letter queue if the conversion fails. The Bridge then adds an error message to the label to help you diagnose the problem. The prefix to the label is "XLATE:0xc00e0003:MQMD.ReplyToQ". This label is then followed by the original label. In this example, 0xc00e0003 is a placeholder for the real error.
  • The hotfix permits you to add a new registry key that overrides this default behavior. The new registry key permits the Bridge to send messages to the Message Queuing side without the RESP_QUEUE property and the ADMIN_QUEUE property. You can enable this feature if you add the following DWORD value:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MQBridge\Server\IgnoreReplyResolution

    The 0x1 value is ignored when you select No ACK. The 0x2 value is ignored when you select ACK. The 0x3 value is always ignored. You must add these values to the registry after you apply the hotfix and before you restart the services for Message Queuing and the Bridge.
