RFE Review. As part of our standard process for reviewing RFEs we have recently discussed this RFE and wish to note that it remains of long term interest to us. It is regrettable that we have not yet managed to prioritize this requirement for immediate action, but we will continue to monitor for popularity and keep it in mind for future plans. Status is maintained as Uncommitted Candidate.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Integration
Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - WebSphere
Product family - Connectivity and Integration
Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
Thank you for raising this RFE, and for taking the trouble to outline a detailed Use Case. As you say, in this situation different users might well expect subtle differences in behaviour - some preferring a more invasive policy than current exhibited by IIB of interrupting the flow thread. It is likely that to react to this requirement we would first need to implement some structural changes in the area of Workload Management Policy to allow for interrupting message flow threads (even if they are currently awaiting a response within a flow from a third party system). Status of this RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
