CR# 6612609: Session failover works if network cable is disconnected from Message Queue server

In a session failover deployment, if each Access Manager instance and Message Queue broker are installed on the same server, session failover now works if a network cable is disconnected from one of the servers. By default the Message Queue imqAddressListBehavior connection factory attribute is set to PRIORITY, which causes Message Queue to try addresses in the order in which they appear in the broker address list (for example: localhost:7777,server2:7777,server3:7777). If the attribute is set to RANDOM, the addresses are tried in random order.

To set this attribute to RANDOM, set the following parameter in the amsessiondb script:

-DimqAddressListBehavior=RANDOM

For information about the Message Queue PRIORITY and RANDOM attributes, see Broker Address List in Sun Java System Message Queue 3.7 UR1 Administration Guide.
