Tasks Planning for reliability | Planning checklist for messaging Select a message store type
This is where the messages are persisted according to the reliability levels of the messages. This, as well as the reliability levels, will directly affect the performance of the messaging engine.Message stores can be implemented as either of the following types:
File stores Flat files. Default type of message store. File stores will generally be faster and cheaper than data stores because of the absence of the database. File stores have no extra licensing fees and fewer administration costs, as well as no database administrator.
Data store. Tables inside a database. Use any supported database product. Data stores might be preferable for larger organizations with an existing database infrastructure and skills.
Both types of message store can be subject to security, such as file system/database encryption and physical security access.
