New Issue: Lost TerminateSequence

["Bob Freund-Hitachi" <bob.freund@hitachisoftware.com>]

Description:

It is not unreasonable to anticipate that from time to time TerminateSequence sent from the RMS may be lost.

 

Should TerminateSequence be lost, the only way for the RMD to reclaim resources is to wait for sequence expiry or to garbage collect based on implementation policy.

 

Justification:

Retrying TerminateSequence is not a reasonable alternative since the RMS cannot determine if CloseSequence was successful, besides the RMS has no evidence of the loss of TerminateSequence.

 

Proposal:

To improve this situation, we propose to change oneway TerminateSequence to request-response TerminateSequence so that the RMS can on the same connection determine whether TerminateSequence was successful and thus can retry CloseSequence if necessary.
