I am glad this information is useful, but disappointed to say that it seems
we do not document it. I'll raise this with the publications people.

Neil,
It is true that z/OS uses different exit syntax, but MQ will automatically
convert exit names from distributed platform format into z/OS friendly
format on z/OS cluster sender channel autodefinition. The z/OS channel will
use the exit entry point or name and will also truncate to 8 characters.
For example...
/var/mqm/exits/myExit.so(MsgExit) converts to MSGEXIT
/var/mqm/exits/myExit converts to MYEXIT
/var/mqm/exits/myExit.so(ExitLongName) converts to EXITLONG

You have a couple of choices here, but fewer than you might think.
1. You cannot use Java for a message exit. Java supports Send Receive and
Security exits on Client connection channels only (as I read the manual).
2. MQ will load the message exit from a default location (normally
/var/mqm/exits in unix, and MQ folder\exits in windows. MQ folder is
something like:
c:\program files\IBM\WebSphere MQ
That is - wherever MQ was installed.
You can modify this location using the ExitPath value in the qm.ini file
(or the windows registry) as appropriate. Other platforms such as zOS have
other mechanisms.
You don't need to provide the full path if you put your exit into the
default location.
If you name your unix shared library myExit rather than myExit.so, and
keep the same entry point, and put it into /var/mqm/exits, your define
channel can specify MSGEXIT('myExit(MsgExit)').
On the windows side, you build the dll as myExit.dll, and have the same
entry point name. The syntax to name the exit is therefore the same, and
will work as is.
Unfortunately, this trick does not work in the wider context of MQ, where
you could have AS400 or zOS (or other platforms) involved. Some of these do
not use the same syntax for naming exits. If you have these sorts of
cross-platform issues, you need to run Channel Autodefinition exits which
then modify the MsgExit value as the channel is autodefined. The CHAD exit
needs to have some way of mapping from the name of the exit on one platform
to the equivalent name on its local system (some sort of internal or
external table).
Remember that a message exit gets invoked for every message on the channel,
and so should run as quickly as possible. The CHAD exit is only invoked
once when the channel is defined, so its performance is less critical.

Neil Casey

Re: Java class hangs when using AIX Runmqtrm
Troy, Install CSD04 for MQ 5.3 (now available from the MQ web page at http://www-3.ibm.com/software/integration/mqfamily/support/summary/aix.html) in order to pick up APAR IY43961. Then make sure the triggered java application has the environment variable AMQ_NO_SIGWAIT_SIGTRAP=1 exported where it can see it. Cheers, Justin T. Fries [EMAIL PROTECTED] WebSphere MQ Support Raleigh, North Carolina Hi all. We currently have MQSeries 5.3 installed on an AIX 5.2 box. We have developed a Java class that reads a message (which is in XML format) and parses the message (using xmlj4) for inserting into an Oracle database. On the AIX system, we have created a process definition with an applicationid of a unix ksh script that sets up all classpaths, etc and then starts the java class. What we have found is that when we run the script manually (logged on as mqm), the java application works correctly; however, when we allow the trigger monitor to start the script/java class, the class hangs at the program line that creates the DOMParser object (DOMParser parser = new DOMParser()). In addition, the class is not throwing any sort of exception. Also the trigger monitor stops processing any initq messages unless will kill the java process. We have compared the environments (using 'env') in both cases (manual vs triggered) and both are exacly the same. In addition, the same java class runs correctly when triggered in a Windows 2000 environment. Appears to be something specific when triggering on the AIX environment. Does anyone have any suggestions? Regards, Troy Wells
Question about JMS and CICS Bridge
Hello, I was reading some documentation about MQ CICS bridge, and I would like to make you a question. If I want to send a request to a CICS bridge, and this request has to use the MQCIH header, then I have to set the message format as MQCICS. If I'm using a JMS client to put the CICS Bridge request, I have to set the TargetClient as MQJMS_CLIENT_NONJMS_MQ, in order not to have the RFH2 header(this header will have JMS information). But if I want to use the MQCIH header, I have to set the Format field, which belongs to RFH2. Therefore, I would like to ask you is possible to use a JMS client to send a CICS Bridge request with a Format value? Will the CICS Bridge support a request with a RFH2 with JMS data?

Re: How Often Do You Reboot?
It depends. The Solaris machines that we use to host client connections only get rebooted when the Unix admins need to add new hardware. The three of them have been up over 300 days now. We do recycle the queue managers on weekends, though. The Solaris application servers, on the other hand, get rebooted every night. This is because our applications required it in the distant past, and now we have some things that rely on it. But by the end of the year we should be in a position to keep the application boxes up all week, at least. But that makes me nervous. MQSeries has had leaks in shared memory usage at various CSD levels. We could get away with it because a reboot washed away all sins. But in June we were at record transaction levels, and we had a couple MQ outages when we exhausted our shared memory. So we went to CSD6 a couple of weeks ago, which seems to have stabilized things. But I won't really know until later this year. FWIW, the applications on this machine are nearly all Perl, and there are probably some that don't cleanly disconnect before they terminate. This caused a problem when we went to CSD3 a year ago or so (the queue manager would crash after a few hours), and we were forced to back CSD3 off and run on CSD1. But there was apparently a slower memory leak even at CSD1, as we saw in June. So I'm nervous about what I'll see when the app servers stay up around the clock.

Re: QUEUE CURENTLY IN USE
Dennis, there is no problem except if I want to delete the queue I can not. I found out there is a way to put a time limit on the CKBR transaction.

Re: How Often Do You Reboot?
Title: Message Not very often, maybe 8-12 weeks with NT4 on an LC2000R Dual CPU Netserver. Sid -Original Message-From: Bullock, Rebecca (CSC) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 2 July 2003 1:28 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: How Often Do You Reboot? Hi, everyone. The subject sort of asks the basicquestion... Here are some more details. We run MQSeries on multiple Sun Solaris boxes. Most boxes are running Solaris 2.8. Some MQ servers are at V5.2 and some at V5.3 (and one lone boxis still running V5.1). Some are rebooted fairlyfrequently and some have been up for months. In many cases, MQSeries server is the only software running on the box, although some development servers also run other stuff. What I'd like is some feel for how frequently others reboot their boxes. Some time back, we had an issue where the resolution from IBM was to reboot the box. So, I thought scheduling regular reboots on those boxes that don't currently have them would not be a bad idea , but wondered how often.

Re: MsgExits on Clusters in CrossPlatform Environments
Hi Donald, I haven't seen any specific documentation for Channel Autodefinition in a Cluster Environment. The exit is documented as a standard Channel exit in the Intercommunication manual. It gets called with ExitId=MQXT_CHANNEL_AUTO_DEF_EXIT. I haven't had any difficulty running my exit in a cluster environment. You get told what sort of channel you are invoked for, and you can do whatever to it that is allowed by the exit interface.

Value of MQ Clusters
Hello List, I would like to see some discussion from users of MQ clusters regarding the value of known advantages such as load balancing and failover versus the disadvantages brought about due to complexities from clustering. I know this may seem like a broad topic, but I would appreciate input on other areas where clustering might be considered beneficial or a hindrance. I've read all the white papers, just want real user perspective.

Re: MQSeries and JD Edwards
Paul, War stories ... darlin', I'm still having nightmares! What's the adapter? On the JDE side, the gotcha's can getcha in the incoming setup in JDE. However, wouldn't hurt to double-double check any mapped fields for matching data types and expected existing values (esp JDE customer or address book #), if you're using MQSI ... well, I won't say the msg format they send you is flawless, but in my experience it was more like a template. I was on a team that did the first WebSphere Commerce Suite to JDE via MQSI on Solaris, perhaps a few JDE colleagues are still on this list, send out the details of your integration ... and may the wind be at your back. -Bridgette Paul Meekin wrote: Hi all, I'm going to be installing WMQ 5.3 onto a Solaris machine running JDE Oneworld Xe Update 7 in preparation for creating an MQ-JDE Adaptor.

Multiple JMS Message Listeners
Hi all, We are having a requirement where we need to process multiple messages (on a queue) simultaneously. One approach to that is to have multiple listeners associated with the same queue so that concurrent processing of messages can happen. I have tried two approaches for implementing multiple listeners which are as below: a) I create the QCF, Q, QConnection QSession and pass on the session to my listener class constructor and it creates receiver out of that session and sets the message listener class as message listener for the given Q. I am creating for listeners in this manner. b) I create the QCF, Q, QConnection and pass on the connection to my listener class constructor and it creates QSession and then receiver out of that session and sets the message listener class as message listener for the given Q. I am creating 4 listeners in this manner. I wanted to know which approach is better in terms of resource consumption, performance and on any other points. The time taken to process the messages was more in case of multiple listeners being created from a single session than multiple listeners being created from multiple sessions for 40 messages. Another observation was in case of multiple sessions, all the 4 listeners were used simultaneously, as in each group of 4 messages was processed by the four listeners simultaneously. In case of single session, the first 2 listeners were only used. If I add a sleep time of 2000 then four listeners are used but that too sequentially, first 10 msgs being taken by first listener, next 10 by second listener and so on...

XML to MRM
Hi, MQSI v2.0.1 - CSD6: I have an XML message which I need to convert to MRM (in SAP IDOC format). We have been working with SAP IDOCs in MRM format for quite a while, but the inbound data we have received up to now has always been in fixed length string format which makes it easy to convert it to IDOC (MRM) format. The problem I am having now is that the inbound messages are in XML format (not fixed length). One solution I tried was to first create an MRM message which resembles the XML structure (The reason for this was so I could add all the necessary padding character details by using this interim MRM message). I then map the XML tagged fields to each respective MRM element in this interim MRM message and in another Compute I concatenate these elements as required to create the required SAP IDOC format. Unfortunately what now happens is that the elements seem to be trimmed before concatenation but in SAP the IDOC data is expected to be in a pre-determined fixed length format (including all the padding characters specified in the interim MRM message). I have set the custom wire format of the interim MRM message to fixed length and specified a padding character of space - however the element padding doesn't seem to be holding during concatenation. Then I tried something else - in a compute node (same compute as where I do the concatenation) I declare a temporary field for each of the elements before concatenation and use PAD to obtain the required padding (spaces or zero's). Concatenating these temporary padded fields worked 100% with no leading or trailing spaces being trimmed. I would like to know if there is a simpler way to ensure that when an element of a message is used in concatenation, the entire element length (including padding characters) is used and not only the trimmed actual data.
