Re: MQ architecture
Priya, your description below is exactly how of our apps work , but with the exception of the triggered program. I changed this to use a Java "daemon" running as an NT service. It effectively listens on a queue waiting for a message o arrive which then passes control to a another program running in a separate thread to feed the message to the CTG. The system resources used are minimal. There is overhead in triggering a Java program, not only from the MQ side. The CTG only needs to be installed in one place. Start at http://www.ibm.com/cics - there is a drop down with the CTG in it. There are better (or should I say newer) ways, I believe, to do the job. There's the CICS connectors (JCA , Java Connector Archiecture) that come with WSAD 5 and are installed in the WebSphere app server. I'm in the process of doing that now.

Re: Migrating from WMQI 2.1 to WBI Message Broker 5.0
I've had a bit of experience doing this since early June, when we got the CDs. I also had Mike Brady of IBM (who wrote the Postit nodes) in my office for a couple of days helping out, and I've now got a good handle of what's going on. We used 2.1 (CDS4) to convert XML messages to COBOL copybook format and vice versa. The only gotcha that I know of is to immediately install CSD01 before starting the toolkit. If you don't, then I believe you have to delete the workspace directory under the eclipse directory of your WBIMB install path. Some points to consider: 1) You must create one message set project for each message set. 2) The new XMLTransformation node (which uses XSL stylesheets to transform XML) didn't work for me - I raised a PMR and IBM sent me an APAR fix. Now everything is OK 3) The broker schema feature is nice. Now you can create ESQL libraries of functions and procedures that are used more than once, that can be shared across many message flow projects, unlike in 2.1 4) Mike Brady, up till yesterday, has not posted the V5 version his PostIt nodes. However, he did send me a beta version, which works fine. Plugin nodes are now developed as Eclipse plugins. If you have any specific questions, please ask. There are many new features which have made life a lot easier for me.

Re: WMQI- One vs multiple Execution Groups?
Steve, On a machine with a lot of memory, I usually have an execution group for a request flow and another for a response flow (on my notebook for development, I just have the one group) . I often stop the response execution group to intercept commareas from the mainframe with the WMQI utility RFUTIL before they go into the flow. This has helped in debugging the flow. If you have all the flows in the one group you can also stop one or more flows within the group on the operations tab as well.

Re: MQMQ MsgID - valid characters
You should not pass the msgid in XML without converting
it to a string
first. You could do like JMS and convert each half-byte to the single text
character used in hex notation, i.e. "0"-"F". Of
course, msgid is then
transported in 48 bytes, which needs to be reversed at the other end.

What will the version number be of the 5.3 Beta when released? WIll it be a CSD for 5.3 GA or something different? The reason I ask is that 5.3 GA won't install on XP. I've been using the beta on XP without any problems.

Re: MQSI CSD03
I've been using CSD03 since it came out without any issues. The xml/dtd validation works well. And it has some nice new esql features. It also seems more stable than CSD02.

Re: xml to cics with MQSI
Thanks Jim.
I already have a parser written in Java to convert my xml documents to commareas and vice versa. I would like to use MQSI to do the job for me - if it is within its feature set.
I believe one can import a copybook directly into MQSI and map fields to xml elements ?
Regards
Alan

Subject: Re: xml to cics with MQSI
You need something like an XML Schema or DTD that maps XML doc fields into COMMAREA specifications (offset, width, data type, subscripts,PIC, etc.) and vice versa.
If it's a simple,straightforward COMMAREA structure (simple COBOL copybook) then you can probably do it manually.
If the COBOL (or PL/I, or S/390 assembler DSECT or C struct, etc.) gets complicated you need to write or otherwise obtain a parser/generator. It can get quite hairy if you need to worry about slack bytes & alignment boundaries (SYNC), variable offsets, complex ODO's ("occurs depending on ..." clauses subordinate or dependent on other ODO's), LEVEL 66 RENAMEs, REDEFINES (especially when nested), qualification, propagation up/down of descriptors (PIC, JUST LEFT, SIGN SEPARATE LEADING, APOSTs and QUOTEs, DECIMAL-IS-COMMA, etc.) and so on.
Then you need code to extract needed fields from a COMMAREA to generate XML doc or the reverse, code to parse incoming XML doc, validate it and build a COMMAREA.
I've written somewhat similar utilities for ISV clients (HostBridge, LockStar).
BEA has XML Translator utilities and VisualAge has VaGen. I'm sure there are others.
There's a nice writeup on some of the issues you'll face titled "CICS, XML & Web Services" by IBM Hursley's Geoff Sharman
at http://www.guideitalia.org/documenti/051201milano04.pdf.
There's also an MQSI Agent for CICS that apears to generate COBOL code to extract/build COMMAREA contents to/from XML.

Re: triggering versus polling
Thanks to Dennis, Jan, Glen and Marcin who responded to my questions. In one day I have come across some interesting challenges Today, I wrote a Java application that is triggered on first and read (and processed) all messages on a queue. My front-end test app put 100 messages on my triggered queue, and I expected 100 returned messages without hiccups. All worked fine when I turned the trigger off and then ran the triggered program manually as a separate process, but when the trigger was active, only a few messages were returned to the orginating java app.. My class for getting the messages checked the current depth of the queue first, and cycled on this count to store the retrieved messages, process them, and return them to a reply queue (for the originating app to display). This is where I think my app is flawed. The time between when the app was triggered to read the messages to when all the messages were on the queue has caused the error in returning the messages to the reply queue. To prove this, I made the triggered program sleep for a few seconds before starting the get, and all messages were returned correctly. How can I reliably trigger on first and return the messages to the originating app? Perhaps cycling around the current depth attribute of a queue is flawed - can someone suggest a reliable way?

Re: Lotus Notes
Francois askd if there was a reliable way of connecting Notes to MQSeries. I can think of three ways (my experience in the last 3 years): 1) Use the MQ Lotus Script classes (mqlsx) in Notes agents. 2) Use the IBM supplied Java classes (the latest MA88 package for MQ 5.2.1, for example) and write Java agents 3) As for 2 (but external to Notes, eg a Java app/servlet/ejb etc), and connect via the IIOP protocol and create/modify/delete Notes documents. If you want specifics, I'm happy to help. Regards Alan (See attached file: Disclaimer.txt) Disclaimer.txt Description: Binary data
