Static Gateway Forwarding
The static gateway forwarding feature ensures consistent document flow across a gateway between two clusters at all times. Documents defined by the gateway permissions list are allowed to flow over the gateway. Once static gateway forwarding is enabled, the documents are forwarded to the remote cluster at all times, regardless of any client subscriptions on the remote cluster.
Essentially, the static gateway forwarding feature force feeds documents to the remote cluster. When there are no subscribers on the remote cluster, forwarded documents will be dropped at the gateway peer of the remote cluster. Disabling static gateway forwarding resumes the normal behavior of subscription based gateway forwarding.
Note:
The static gateway forwarding feature is only supported on a webMethods Broker Version 6.1 Service Pack 4 and later. The Broker(s) on the other end of the gateway can be of any version. In addition, you cannot enable static gateway forwarding on a Broker that is either not in a cluster or does not have a gateway to the specified remote cluster.
To enable static gateway forwarding, use the BrokerAdminClient.setClusterStaticGatewayForwarding method and set enable to true.
To check the status of the static gateway subscription set on a remote cluster from the current Broker, execute the BrokerAdminClient.getClusterStaticGatewayForwarding method.
