Uniform distributed topics - configure delivery failure parameters


After you create a uniform distributed topic, you can change the default message delivery failure values, like defining a message redelivery limit, selecting a message expiration policy, and specifying an error destination for expired or undeliverable messages.

To configure message delivery failure options for members of a uniform distributed topic:

  1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
  2. In the Administration Console, navigate to the uniform distributed topic resource that you want to configure:
  3. Click the Configuration > Delivery Failure tab.
  4. On the Delivery Failure page:
    1. In Redelivery Delay Override, specify the delay before rolled back or recovered messages are redelivered, regardless of the Redelivery Delay specified by the consumer and/or connection factory.
    2. In Redelivery Limit, specify the number of redelivery tries a message can have before it is moved to an error destination.
    3. In Expiration Policy, select the expiration policy (Discard, Log, or Redirect) used when an expired or undeliverable message is encountered on a distributed topic member.
    4. In Expiration Logging Policy, if Log is the selected Expiration Policy, specify what information about the message that you want to be logged.
    5. In Error Destination, when the Expiration Policy is set to Redirect, select another configured uniform distributed destination (UDD) to receive messages that have expired or reached their redelivery limit. For UDDs, the error destination must be another UDD that shares the same subdeployment (i.e., targets) as the current UDD. If no error destination is configured, then expired and undeliverable messages are simply deleted.

    For more information about these fields, see Configuration Options.

  5. Save your changes:
  6. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
    Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
