Reliable Messaging Configuration
| Feature name | Description | WS-RM 1.0 compatible assertion | WS-RM 1.1+ compatible assertion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enable Reliable Messaging + version | Specifies that WS-ReliableMessaging protocol MUST be used when sending messages. Defines also the version of the WS-RM protocol to be used. | /wsrmp10:RMAssertion | /wsrmp:RMAssertion |
| Sequence Inactivity Timeout | Specifies the time interval beyond which either RM Source or RM Destination may terminate the RM sequence due to inactivity. The default setting is 600,000 milliseconds (10 minutes). A web service endpoint will always terminate session whose inactivity timeout has expired. Specified in milliseconds. | /wsrmp10:RMAssertion/wsrmp10:InactivityTimeout | /net35rmp:InactivityTimeout |
| Acknowledgement interval | Specifies the duration after which the RM Destination will transmit an acknowledgement. If omitted, there is no implied value. Specified in milliseconds. | /wsrmp10:RMAssertion/wsrmp10:AcknowledgementInterval | /net35rmp:AcknowledgementInterval |
| Retransmission Interval | Specifies how long the RM Source will wait after transmitting a message and before retransmitting the message. If omitted, there is no implied value. Specified in milliseconds. | /wsrmp10:RMAssertion/wsrmp10:BaseRetransmissionInterval/sunrmcp:ResendInterval | /metro:RetransmissionConfig/metro:Interval |
| Retransmission Interval Adjustment Algorithm | Specifies that the retransmission interval will be adjusted using a specific (e.g. exponential back-off) algorithm. |
("Exponential backoff" algorithm only) | /metro:RetransmissionConfig/metro:Algorithm |
| Maximum Retransmission Count |
| N/A | /metro:RetransmissionConfig/metro:MaxRetries |
| Close sequence timeout | By default, the call to proxy.close() will not return until all messages have been acknowledged. RM close timeout is the interval (in milliseconds) that the client runtime will block waiting for a call to close() to return. If there are still unacknowledged messages after this interval is reached, and the call to close has returned, an error will be logged about messages being lost. |
(client side only) | /metro:CloseSequenceTimeout |
| Acknowledgement request interval | Defines the suggested minimum time that the sender (RM Source) should allow to elapse between sending consecutive Acknowledgement request messages to the RM Destination. | /sunrmcp:AckRequestInterval | /metro:AckRequestInterval |
| Bind RM sequence to security token | Defines the requirement that an RM Sequence MUST be bound to an explicit token that is referenced from a wsse:SecurityTokenReference in the CreateSequence message. | N/A | /wsrmp:RMAssertion/wsp:Policy/wsrmp:SequenceSTR |
| Bind RM sequence to secured transport | Defines the requirement that an RM Sequence MUST be bound to the session(s) of the underlying transport-level protocol used to carry the CreateSequence and CreateSequenceResponse message. (When present, this assertion MUST be used in conjunction with the sp:TransportBinding assertion.) | N/A | /wsrmp:RMAssertion/wsp:Policy/wsrmp:SequenceTransportSecurity |
| Exactly once delivery | Each message is to be delivered exactly once; if a message cannot be delivered then an error MUST be raised by the RM Source and/or RM Destination. The requirement on an RM Source is that it SHOULD retry transmission of every message sent by the Application Source until it receives an acknowledgement from the RM Destination. The requirement on the RM Destination is that it SHOULD retry the transfer to the Application Destination of any message that it accepts from the RM Source until that message has been successfully delivered, and that it MUST NOT deliver a duplicate of a message that has already been delivered. | default | /wsrmp:RMAssertion/wsp:Policy/wsrmp:DeliveryAssurance/wsp:Policy/wsrmp:ExactlyOnce |
| At Most once delivery | Each message is to be delivered at most once. The RM Source MAY retry transmission of unacknowledged messages, but is NOT REQUIRED to do so. The requirement on the RM Destination is that it MUST filter out duplicate messages, i.e. that it MUST NOT deliver a duplicate of a message that has already been delivered. | N/A | /wsrmp:RMAssertion/wsp:Policy/wsrmp:DeliveryAssurance/wsp:Policy/wsrmp:AtMostOnce |
| At Least once delivery | Each message is to be delivered at least once, or else an error MUST be raised by the RM Source and/or RM Destination. The requirement on an RM Source is that it SHOULD retry transmission of every message sent by the Application Source until it receives an acknowledgement from the RM Destination. The requirement on the RM Destination is that it SHOULD retry the transfer to the Application Destination of any message that it accepts from the RM Source, until that message has been successfully delivered. There is no requirement for the RM Destination to apply duplicate message filtering. | /sunrmcp:AllowDuplicates | /wsrmp:RMAssertion/wsp:Policy/wsrmp:DeliveryAssurance/wsp:Policy/wsrmp:AtLeastOnce |
| InOrder delivery | Messages from each individual Sequence are to be delivered in the same order they have been sent by the Application Source. The requirement on an RM Source is that it MUST ensure that the ordinal position of each message in the Sequence (as indicated by a message Sequence number) is consistent with the order in which the messages have been sent from the Application Source. The requirement on the RM Destination is that it MUST deliver received messages for each Sequence in the order indicated by the message numbering. This DeliveryAssurance can be used in combination with any of the AtLeastOnce, AtMostOnce or ExactlyOnce assertions, and the requirements of those assertions MUST also be met. In particular if the AtLeastOnce or ExactlyOnce assertion applies and the RM Destination detects a gap in the Sequence then the RM Destination MUST NOT deliver any subsequent messages from that Sequence until the missing messages are received or until the Sequence is closed. | /sunrmp:Ordered | /wsrmp:RMAssertion/wsp:Policy/wsrmp:DeliveryAssurance/wsp:Policy/wsrmp:InOrder |
| Flow Control | Enables or disables the flow control feature. When enabled, this feature works in conjunction with the Max Buffer Size setting to determine the maximum number of messages for sequence that can be stored at the endpoint awaiting delivery to the application. Messages may have to be withheld from the application if ordered delivery is required and some of their predecessors have not arrived. If the number of stored messages reaches the threshold specified in the Max Buffer Size setting, incoming messages belonging to the sequence are ignored. | /net30rmp:RmFlowControl | /net30rmp:RmFlowControl |
| Maximum Flow Control Buffer Size | If Flow control is enabled, this value specifies the number of request messages that will be buffered in the RM session. The default setting is 32. For more information, see the description of the Flow Control option. | /net30rmp:RmFlowControl/net30rmp:MaxReceiveBufferSize | /net30rmp:RmFlowControl/net30rmp:MaxReceiveBufferSize |
| Maximum concurrent RM sessions | Specifies how many concurrently active RM sessions (measured based on inbound RM sequences) the SequenceManager dedicated to the WS Endpoint accepts before starting to refuse new requests for sequence creation. | N/A | /metro:MaxConcurrentSessions |
| Reliable Messaging Persistence | Specifies whether the runtime should use persistent sequence and message storage or not. | N/A | /metro:Persistent |
| Sequence manager maintenace task execution period | Specifies the period (in milliseconds) of a sequence maintenance task execution. Sequence maintenance task takes care of terminating inactive sequences and removing the terminated sequences from the sequence repository. | N/A | /metro:MaintenanceTaskPeriod |
This information is now available via official Metro User Guide too.
