MSMQ

PM> Install-Package Shuttle.Esb.Msmq

All MSMQ queues are required to be transactional. In addition to the actual queue a msmq://configuration-name/queue-name$journal queue will always be used. If it does not exist it will be created, so if you are creating queues explicitly then remember to create these also.

MSMQ creates outgoing queues internally so it is not necessary to use an outbox.

MSMQ Installation / Activation

You need to install / activate MSMQ on your system before using this queuing option.

Configuration

The URI structure is msmq://configuration-name/queue-name.

services.AddMsmq(builder =>
{
    builder.AddOptions("local", new MsmqOptions
    {
        Path = ".\private$", // for local queues
        Path = "FormatName:DIRECT=TCP:127.0.0.1\private$", // for IP addresses
        Path = "FormatName:DIRECT=OS:{host-name}\private$",
        Timeout = Timespan.Zero,
        UseDeadLetterQueue = false
    });
});

The default JSON settings structure is as follows:

{
  "Shuttle": {
    "Msmq": {
      "Timeout": "00:00:02",
      "UseDeadLetterQueue": false,
      "Path": "some-path" 
    }
  }
}

Options

UseDeadLetterQueue	true	Specifies the value to pass to the 'UseDeadLetterQueue' property of the message sent.
Timeout	00:00:00	Timespan indicating how long to wait for queue operations to complete.
