Bugs fixed in Magic Broker 8.3-3 (Top)
Now, an application server is removed from the Request Broker's pool only after the Broker successfully connects to the server and returns a termination message. Any application server toolkit engine that has a start-up application now opens in Runtime mode for Magic Broker 8.3-3 and the Magic Engine modules provided in Service Pack 2. |

New Features in Magic Broker 8.3-3 (Top)This is achieved by providing a new process that spawns the process of the Magic Broker. The new process is entirely responsible for monitoring and administrating the main process of the Magic Broker. If the Magic Broker terminates and restarts, normally or abnormally, the application server connected to the Broker session will terminate after 60 seconds or less. This applies only to an application server running in background mode. The Alternate Messaging Server allows the requester to reconnect to the main Broker after a designated time interval. A new setting in the requesters ini file (MGREQ.INI), RetryMainTime=10, is used to set the time intervals by which the requester reconnects to the main Broker. The number used in this setting is the number of minutes. If no value is set, the default retry time interval is 5 minutes. The Magic Broker accepts requests only after the startup sequence is complete. |

New Features in Magic Broker 8.3-2 (Top)For Magic 8.30 Service Pack 1, the Magic Broker now searches for the Mgreq.ini file in the directory of the Generic Messaging layer module (mgrqgnrc.dll) The new Broker Events log, mrb_events.log, is created and appended each time the Magic Broker is opened. This log only displays major events: startup and shutdown of the Magic Broker and engines, and error messages. For Magic 8.30, the Reload feature was added to the Magic Broker. The Reload feature was enhanced by automatically assigning a messaging server to an engine that was automatically loaded by the Magic Broker. This Automatic Assignment generated a password that was used by the application server to connect from the engine entry name in Mgrb.ini to the actual password of the Broker in the following format <!$MG_exe_entry>password. For Magic 8.30 Service Pack 1, the format was changed, ++exe_entry++password, to be accessible to the UNIX server. |
