In this environment, you may experience difficulty starting the both the connector controller (on the server side) and the connector (on the client side) due to memory use within the WebSphere MQ client. If your installation uses less than 768M of process heap size, IBM recommends that you set:

vThe LDR_CNTRL environment variable in the CWSharedEnv.sh script.

This script resides in the \bin directory below the product directory. With a text editor, add the following line as the first line in the CWSharedEnv.sh script:

export LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x30000000

This line restricts heap memory usage to a maximum of 768 MB (3 segments * 256 MB). If the process memory grows more than this limit, page swapping can occur, which can adversely affect the performance of your system.

vThe IPCCBaseAddress property to a value of 11 or 12. For more information on this property, see the System Installation Guide for UNIX.

Notes:

vIf your installation uses more than 768M of process heap size, this resolution would adversely affect product performance.

vIf you run on AIX 4.3.3, you do not need to set the LDR_CNTRL environment variable. However, you must set IPCCBaseAddress to a value of 11 or 12.

DuplicateEventElimination

Setting this property to true enables a JMS-enabled connector with a non-JMS event store to ensure that duplicate events are not delivered to the delivery queue. To make use of this feature, during connector development a unique event identifier must be set as the business object’s ObjectEventId attribute in the application specific code.

This property can also be set to false.

Note: When DuplicateEventElimination is set to true, you must also configure the MonitorQueue property to enable guaranteed event delivery.

FaultQueue

If the connector experiences an error while processing a message then the connector moves the message to the queue specified in this property, along with a status indicator and a description of the problem.

The default value is CONNECTORNAME/FAULTQUEUE.

JvmMaxHeapSize

The maximum heap size for the agent (in megabytes). This property is applicable only if the RepositoryDirectory value is <REMOTE>.

The default value is 128m.

JvmMaxNativeStackSize

The maximum native stack size for the agent (in kilobytes). This property is applicable only if the RepositoryDirectory value is <REMOTE>.

The default value is 128k.
