This example demonstrates that the serialization token is restricted
within a single integration server running on a broker::
- Two MQInput nodes in separate message flows (in this case MyFlowA and MyFlowB ) are running within the same integration server MyGroupA. Both MQInput nodes concurrently get messages from the shared input queue even though they are using the same serialization token.
- If serialization is required within a single message flow, the message flow attribute additional instances must be set to zero which is the default setting. However, if greater throughput is required and serialization of input within the flow is not important, you can set additional instances to a value greater than zero.
- The use of the serialization token attribute on the MQInput node does not serialize input between message flows operating within the same integration server. However, setting the attribute has no adverse affect on the processing within that integration server
- In this way it is possible to maximize throughput in a message flow on one broker while still serializing input between brokers. This is useful where the requirement is to have one or more brokers acting as an immediate standby, should the currently active broker need to be stopped for servicing, or fail unexpectedly.
