Error description

  • A JMS application publishes messages to WebSphere Application
    Server Service Integration Bus publication point. The published
    messages are delivered to the consumers successfully but the
    messages still remain on the publication point. This leads to
    a build up of messages on the destination. The following errors
    are written to the SystemOut.log:
    
    CWSIA0067E: An exception was received during the call to the
    method JmsMsgProducerImpl.sendMessage (#4): com.ibm.ws.sib.
    processor.exceptions.SIMPLimitExceededException:CWSIP0251E:
    The destination XXXTopicSpace on messaging engine
    XYZ is not available because the high limit 50,000 for the
    number of messages for this destination has already been
    reached..

    ****************************************************************
    In the publish/subscribe domain, the messages produced on
    topics move across messaging engines if there are more than
    one messaging engine in an Application Server environment.
    This allows consumers running on remote messaging engines to
    receive messages. The messaging engine where messages are
    produced is called the source messaging engine and the
    messaging engine where messages are received is called the
    target messaging engine. In this communication, when the
    target messaging engine receives the messages, it searches for
    the local consumers to dispatch the messages. If there are no
    consumers, a silence is written for each message received. The
    silence indicates that the target side is aware of the message
    being received. In addition to writing silence, it will also
    send an acknowledgment to the source messaging engine. Once
    the source messaging engine receives the acknowledgment, it
    will remove the message.
    However, it is observed that no acknowledgment is being sent
    to the source messaging engine. Because of this, the source
    messaging engine will not remove these messages and the
    messages pile up on its side.
    

Problem conclusion

  • To fix the problem, an acknowledgment is sent from the target
    messaging engine to the source messaging engine after every 50
    consecutive silences. This gap of 50 silence messages is
    chosen because sending acknowledgment for every silence
    message may cause network overhead.
    
    If any local consumers come up any time, an acknowledgement is
    always sent during the message delivery. This is a specific
    scenario in which there are no local consumers on the target
    side for a long time which results in never acknowledging
    messages received.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 7.0.0.27, 8.0.0.6 and 8.5.0.2. Please refer to the
