How to provide high availability for the MQSAgent COM+ application or for the MQSAgent2 COM+ application in a clustered environment

INTRODUCTION

Consider the following scenario. In Microsoft BizTalk Server, you use the BizTalk Adapter for MQSeries adapter to connect to a clustered IBM WebSphere MQ Server-based server. The clustered IBM WebSphere MQ Server-based server hosts the MQSAgent Microsoft COM+ application or the MQSAgent2 COM+ application. In this scenario, you should not provide high availability by clustering the MQSAgent COM+ application or the MQSAgent2 COM+ application.

Note In BizTalk Server 2006 and later versions, the MQSAgent COM+ application is named the MQSAgent2 COM+ application.

MORE INFORMATION

To provide high availability for the MQSAgent COM+ application or for the MQSAgent2 COM+ application in a clustered environment, you must install the COM+ application locally on each cluster node. Do not cluster this component. If the COM+ application stops for any reason, the next call to the COM+ application from BizTalk Server automatically restarts the COM+ application. This behavior makes sure that you provide high availability without clustering this component.
