Managing durables

Durables are subscribers to messages that are guaranteed receipt of messages no matter when they are sent. Messaging systems are default-configured such that subscribers can only receive designated messages when active.

Messages are stored on the server for as long as durable subscribers exist for the topic or until an expiration time or storage limit has been reached.

Whenever an application restarts and recreates a durable subscriber with the same ID, all messages stored on the server for that topic are delivered to the durable subscriber.

Select Durables from the Navigation Panel to display the Durables Summary View:
