Purging data from store and forward

The Transaction Server provides a store and forward queue that temporarily holds transactions that cannot be delivered successfully to the endpoint enterprise application. When you define a database or WebSphere MQ transport, you set the length of time (the TTL parameter) for the transaction to remain in the store and forward queue. However, there might be an occasion when you want to remove data from the store and forward queue. For example, suppose you are viewing the status window and the information in the Store and Forward column alerts you that the queue for a specific transport is less than 50 percent full.

However, at that point, you decide to purge the queue of data. Follow these steps:

  1. From the Workbench left pane, click the appropriate node.
  2. Expand Enterprise, and then click Transports.
    The Transports tab appears.
  3. Select the appropriate transport, display its pop-up menu, and then click Purge Store/Forward queue.
    Although the store and forward queue is immediately purged of data, if the transaction failures continue, the data will also continue to be delivered to the queue. If the situation is not immediately corrected, you might want to consider stopping the trigger.
