  • 1.  How does integration node listener work in ACE?

    Posted Wed April 19, 2023 06:35 PM

    Hi community:

    I have been trying to find documentation about how integration node listener works. I am facing an issue using this listener and this is my scenario:

    URI1: /ABC (uses 5 services with the same URI)
    URI2: /XYZ (uses more than 10 services with the same URI)

    After requesting into URI1, and 1 services does not return a response the other 4 services are affected. Any of then works well. I use Datapower before ACE and with Latency log and I see a big gap of time from message arrives to Datapower and when Datapower send it to ACE (about 2 min acording to 120 seg of backend timeout), like a kind of queue waiting in port 7080 of ACE.

    I have change to use embedded and try again the same scenario and only 1 service is affected usen URI1.

    I want to know how integration node listener works because I understand that it uses MQ, is there any distributtión or logic inside MQ and ACE to handle requests?

    Note: URI2 is not affected at any time.

    Regards.

    Hi @David Bonilla

    This is a message from the team on how the integration node listener works: "The listener writes the incoming message to a queue with a header indicating what flows should read it.  Any flow that matches that header will read the message whenever it has a free instance available.  There is no round-robin or queue type order; it is simply first come, first served."

    I have tried to look for other discussions and documentation around it but haven't had much luck so far. Here is a small documentation on HTTP Listeners, though, which includes the integration node listener.

    Hi Gabriel: 

    Do you know how embedded listener ports works? And how many threads is the maximum with this option? As IBM documentation is half of core of the system in our case 86 but we see until 228 threads which make me feel wrong about IBM

    regards
