JMS Queue --> Configuration --> Thresholds & Quotas

Overview

This tab defines the bytes/messages threshold and quota configuration attributes for a JMS queue. After defining a JMS server, you can configure its queues. You can configure one or more queues for each JMS server.

Note: You configure queues explicitly or by configuring a JMS template that can be used to define multiple queues with similar attribute settings, as described in JMS Template Tasks.

Table 5-1

Attribute Label	Description	Value Constraints
Bytes Maximum	The maximum bytes quota (total amount of bytes) that can be stored in this destination. The default value of -1 specifies that there is no WebLogic-imposed limit on the number of bytes that can be stored in the destination. However, excessive bytes volume can cause memory saturation, so this value should correspond to the total amount of available system memory relative to the rest of your application load. Note: Configured quotas do not apply to expired or error (redelivery limit) messages that are redirected to an error destination. Such messages are still moved into an error destination even if that destination has reached its quotas. Range of Values: >= BytesThresholdHigh This attribute is dynamically configurable, but only incoming messages are impacted; stored messages are not impacted. Note: If a JMS template is used for distributed destination members, then this setting applies only to those specific members and not the distributed destination set as a whole. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. JMSQueueMBean` Attribute: `BytesMaximum`	Minimum: -1 Maximum: 9223372036854775807 Default: -1 Dynamic: yes
Bytes Threshold High	The upper threshold value that triggers events based on the number of bytes stored in the destination. If the number of bytes exceeds this threshold, the triggered events are: Log Messages - A message is logged on the server indicating a high threshold condition. Bytes Paging - If bytes paging is enabled (and a paging store has been configured), then destination-level bytes paging is started. Flow Control - If flow control is enabled, the destination becomes armed and instructs producers to begin decreasing their message flow. A value of -1 specifies that bytes paging, flow control, and threshold log messages are disabled for the destination. However, if a JMS template is specified for this destination, then -1 implies that the value will come from the template. Range of Values: <= BytesMaximum; >BytesThresholdLow This attribute is dynamically configurable, but only incoming messages are impacted; stored messages are not impacted. Note: Bytes paging cannot be dynamically disabled by resetting the value to -1. To dynamically disable paging, you could set the value to a very large number, so that paging would not be triggered.

If the number of bytes falls below this threshold, the triggered events are: Log Messages - A message is logged on the server indicating that the threshold condition has cleared. Bytes Paging - If bytes paging is enabled, paging is stopped (if paging is occurring). Flow Control - If flow control is enabled, the destination becomes disarmed and instructs producers to begin increasing their message flow.

The message size includes the message body, user-defined properties, and the user-defined JMS header fields: `JMSCorrelationID` and `JMSType`. The maximum message size is checked before messages are sent to a queue. Therefore, if a message exceeds the specified allowable size, it does not count against the queue's configured quota (bytes/messages maximum) or its upper thresholds, since the message is immediately rejected. When a producer sends a message that exceeds the specified maximum message size for the queue, it will receive a JMS `ResourceAllocation` exception. The maximum message size is only enforced for the initial production of a message. Messages that are redirected to an error destination or forwarded to a member of a distributed queue are not checked for size. For example, if a queue and its corresponding error destination are configured with a maximum message size of 128K and 64K, respectively, a message of 96K could be redirected to the error destination (even though it exceeds the 64K maximum), but a producer could not directly send the 96K message to the error destination.

Description

Value Constraints

Bytes Maximum

The maximum bytes quota (total amount of bytes) that can be stored in this destination. The default value of -1 specifies that there is no WebLogic-imposed limit on the number of bytes that can be stored in the destination. However, excessive bytes volume can cause memory saturation, so this value should correspond to the total amount of available system memory relative to the rest of your application load.

Note: Configured quotas do not apply to expired or error (redelivery limit) messages that are redirected to an error destination. Such messages are still moved into an error destination even if that destination has reached its quotas.

Range of Values: >= BytesThresholdHigh

This attribute is dynamically configurable, but only incoming messages are impacted; stored messages are not impacted.

Note: If a JMS template is used for distributed destination members, then this setting applies only to those specific members and not the distributed destination set as a whole.

Attribute: BytesMaximum

Minimum: -1

Maximum: 9223372036854775807

Default: -1

Dynamic: yes

Bytes Threshold High

The upper threshold value that triggers events based on the number of bytes stored in the destination. If the number of bytes exceeds this threshold, the triggered events are:

Flow Control - If flow control is enabled, the destination becomes armed and instructs producers to begin decreasing their message flow.

A value of -1 specifies that bytes paging, flow control, and threshold log messages are disabled for the destination. However, if a JMS template is specified for this destination, then -1 implies that the value will come from the template.

Range of Values: <= BytesMaximum; >BytesThresholdLow

This attribute is dynamically configurable, but only incoming messages are impacted; stored messages are not impacted.

Note: Bytes paging cannot be dynamically disabled by resetting the value to -1. To dynamically disable paging, you could set the value to a very large number, so that paging would not be triggered.

false - Messages paging is explicitly disabled for this destination.

true - If a paging store has been configured for the JMS server, and both the MessagesThresholdLow and MessagesThresholdHigh attribute values are greater than -1, then messages paging is enabled for this destination.

MBean: weblogic.management. configuration. JMSQueueMBean

Attribute: MessagesPagingEnabled

Default: default

Maximum Message Size

The maximum allowable size for messages to be accepted from producers on this queue. The message size includes the message body, user-defined properties, and the user-defined JMS header fields: JMSCorrelationID and JMSType.

The maximum message size is checked before messages are sent to a queue. Therefore, if a message exceeds the specified allowable size, it does not count against the queue's configured quota (bytes/messages maximum) or its upper thresholds, since the message is immediately rejected.

When a producer sends a message that exceeds the specified maximum message size for the queue, it will receive a JMS ResourceAllocation exception.

The maximum message size is only enforced for the initial production of a message. Messages that are redirected to an error destination or forwarded to a member of a distributed queue are not checked for size. For example, if a queue and its corresponding error destination are configured with a maximum message size of 128K and 64K, respectively, a message of 96K could be redirected to the error destination (even though it exceeds the 64K maximum), but a producer could not directly send the 96K message to the error destination.
