Durable Subscriber Name

The Durable Subscriber Name property, which is specified in the root JMS Client properties dialog, both provides a name for the JMS client and identifies it as being a durable subscriber.

A durable subscription is one that is not dependent upon a client’s connection with a message server. Therefore, it is tolerant of disconnections, whether they are intentional or not. When a durable subscriber is disconnected from the message server, the server stores messages until the subscriber reconnects. It then delivers all accumulated messages that have not expired. This process is also known as store-and-forward messaging.

Once set, the Durable Subscriber Name does not get autogenerated, and can only be changed manually. Copies of the Connectivity Map also retain this name.
