Service Broker, RECEIVE problem

[everhett.raman]

hi,

M'soft sites documented that

RECEIVE TOP (n) FROM Target

should fetch the n number of message from the specified queue. I am having problem with this, and do not know why because not much resource is available pertaining this. Tried finding for an answer on Klaus Aschenbrenner's book, failed.

i) I created the queue in very straight forward script

CREATE QUEUE Target WITH STATUS=ON

.Did i miss any arguements on the queue creation?

ii) Is there any database properties i need to check?

Thank you guys, I still new to Service Broker, any help will be appreciated.

Hi guys,
As the pressure for dateline mounted, i had to design a fast solution using the SSBS. There aren't much resources, or otherwise meaningful unless someone understood the SSBS concept. This seems very specialized area of skill-set. I referred to Klaus Aschenbrenner's book for solution implementation.

As solution already designed, this issue of fetching many message (code as below) became an issue.

RECEIVE TOP (10) message_body FROM Target

Could only fetch single message each time. Therefore posted here for some help. At the same time, i revised the SSBS concept again to analyze the problem. As for my findings:
1. Each conversation_handle was different ( because i instantiated different conversation for each message) in my TargetQueue
2. RECEIVE TOP(n) only returns messages belonging to the same conversation_handle only if specified in TOP clause.

Someone please verify this finding to be true, so that it can help me solving my problem and be a help to other as well.

Thank you.
