Configuring MSMQ

MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queuing) is essentially a messaging protocol that allows applications running on separate servers/processes to communicate in a failsafe manner. A queue is a temporary storage location from which messages can be sent and received reliably, as and when conditions permit. Depending on plant size and/or production pace, it is recommended to increase the message storage size of the MSMQ from 1 GB (default). If the message storage is full, then data can be lost. It is recommended to remove or increase the limit.
