title: IBM WAS autoreconnect to IBM MQ
body: <p>I have a Java EE aplication on IBM WAS 8.5.5.x which connects to IBM MQ 9.0 with Activation specs.
  I'm interested in problem of autoreconnecting from WAS to MQ, if for some reason there was a connection loss (MQ server was shut down).</p>
  
  <p>In IBM WAS admin console I have set Resources -> JMS -> Queue connection factories -> Factory -> Advanced properties -> Client reconnect options -> RECONNECT</p>
  
  <p>I set Client reconnect timeout to 120 seconds.</p>
  
  <p>That worked well (there was a reconnection) until queue manager was ended for a long period of time (about 9 hours).</p>
  
  <p>Am I doing something wrong ? Is there a way to make QCF or Activation Spec auto reconnect if there was a connection loss. Is there a limit on number of reconnetion tries ? </p>
