How to implement persistence to unix queues?

[lalithamenon]

My application developed in unix has many processes and they talk to each other thru unix message queues.
unix queues are not file persistent.So when the server goes down all on a sudden ,all these queues(resources) are also cleared and as a result the packets in them are also lost.

I want to know what is the best way to provide persistence to the packets, so that every packet is guaranteed delivery?

Can anyone help?

Hi,

I would suggest that you need a process that organises the passing of messages between different processes - this manager process would have to receive all messages and store them in a database - only deleting them when the message has been sucessfully received.

Hello, lalithamenon.

You could think in comunicate your process using a middleware like tibco or tuxedo.
