SQL Server Service Broke not work as expectation

If your SQL Server queue is not working, it might be due to various reasons such as incorrect settings, issues with SQL Server Service Broker, or problems with the queue itself. Here are some troubleshooting steps:

Check SQL Server Service Broker enabled or not

The Service Broker must be enabled for the database in which your queue resides. You can check it with the following command。

SELECT is_broker_enabled FROM sys.databases WHERE name = 'YourDatabaseName';

Check Queue Status

Verify that the queue is not disabled. You can check the status of the queue with the following command:

ALTER DATABASE YourDatabaseName SET ENABLE_BROKER;

Check for Errors

Look at the SQL Server logs for any errors related to Service Broker or the queue。

SELECT is_receive_enabled FROM sys.service_queues WHERE name = 'YourQueueName';

Check Activation Procedure

If your queue uses an activation stored procedure, ensure that the procedure is working correctly. The user executing the procedure must have necessary permissions.

ALTER QUEUE YourQueueName WITH STATUS = ON;

Check for Unprocessed Messages

Sometimes, messages can get stuck in the queue. You can check for unprocessed messages with the following command:

SELECT * FROM YourQueueName;

Reminder

Please replace YourDatabaseName and YourQueueName with your actual database and queue names.
