We keep having an outage roughly once a week where the messages get stuck in the transmission queue. We have got 2 application servers that sends messages to a database. The app servers are standalone VMs and the database that these app servers send messages to, is in a clustered environment.
The SSB in one of these app servers goes down once a while with the error message - An error occurred while receiving data: '64(The specified network name is no longer available.)'. Until now, this did not happen on both app servers at the same time.
We were able to telnet/ping at the time of outage. What might possibly be happening? Let me know if there are any additional details needed.
Setting the database in single user mode, disabling service broker and then enabling it, fixes everything.
