I have two databases DB1 and DB2. Bothe the databases are on the same SQL
instance. Both have Service Broker enabled.

I am trying to send message from DB1 to DB2 using the following code.

On DB1, I did the following:

create queue TestStart
create message type MsgTypeNone
create contract TestSentyAny (MsgTypeNone SENT BY ANY)
create service SrvcResponse on queue TestStart (TestSentByAny)

On DB2, I did the following:

create queue Rcvr
create message type MsgTypeNone
create contract TestSentyAny (MsgTypeNone SENT BY ANY)
create service SndrToMsgRcvr on queue Rcvr (TestSentByAny)

Then, I am trying to send the message from DB1.

use DB1;
declare @ConvHndl uniqueidentifier, @SrvcBrkrID uniqueidentifier;
select @SrvcBrkrID = service_broker_guid from sys.databases where
database_id = DB_ID('DB2');

begin dialog @ConvHndl  from service SrvcResponse to service
'SndrToMsgRcvr', @SrvcBrkrID on contract TestSentyAny with encryption=off,
lifetime=20;
print @ConvHndl
send on conversation @ConvHndl message type MsgTypeNone('Test message from
DB1');

----------
There are no error when the above is executed.

I do get a valid @ConvHndl.

I checked the queue Rcvr, using select * from Rcvr on DB2, but the message
is not there.

Instead, I get the error, which is stored in TestStart queue in DB1. It
says: "The dialog has exceeded the specified lifetime." I believe 20 seconds
is a lot of time.

I think something else is not done right. Possibly, SndrToMsgRcvr service in
DB2 is not accepting messages from another service in a different DB.

I do have other services in both DB1 and DB2. I am able to put messages from
one service to another service in the SAME DB. But things are not working
across DBs.

Could somebody help in resolving this issue?

Thanks
