Re: MQSeries hidden parameters?
Ferenc, >>>I'm looking for a dokumentation wich describe ALL stanzas >>>in qm.ini and mqs.ini (or registry entries on Windows). I >>>found a channel stanza like StopEvent=Always, but I have >>>not got a doc which describres it. Could anybody help me? Well, I don't have a document that describe ALL stanzas in qm.ini and mqs.ini, but I can assist you with the one you mentioned. Prior to V5.3, a channel would always issue an MQRC_CHANNEL_STOPPED event before it terminates. This includes the situation where a channel which previously failed to connect is stopped. In contrast, the MQRC_CHANNEL_STARTED event is ONLY raised if the channel actually starts. This meant there were situations where a MQRC_CHANNEL_STOPPED event could be raised for a channel that never saw a MQRC_CHANNEL_STARTED event. Some customers found this confusing. With WMQ V5.3, an MQRC_CHANNEL_STOPPED event is now ONLY issued if the channel has previously issued a MQRC_CHANNEL_STARTED event. However, for some reason you may have adapted to the pre-V5.3 behavior, and now find the new behavior confusing. You can use StopEvent=Always to request that channels always raise a stop event. Hope this helps.

Perhaps you could post some details about the problem you are seeing. Also,
what fixpack level are you at with MB?
You could also look into SuppoortPac IA0T ("WebSphere BI Message Broker -
SWIFT Solution"). This SupportPac is a services offering (fee-based) that
enables integration of SWIFT based messaging systems with both SWIFT and
non-SWIFT systems. I don't have first-hand knowledge of this SupportPac so
I cannot say that it will solve your problem, but it might be worth looking
into.

Re: transactional client with Oracle
Hello, My understanding from my Sales counterparts is that there is no separate part number for the ETC - you order the WebSphere MQ product andthe ETC comes as part of the package. You do need the current WMQ CD package (5.3.03) - the ETC is not on the original 5.0 CD package. I wonder if it is that the different part number is for WMQ 5.0.03 verses 5.3? Or perhaps there was a different part number for the ETC prior to when it was all bundled together as 5.0.03? I'm not sure, but I am pretty certain there is not a separate part number now. If you want to give me the part number you have, I'll look into it. The ETC is a separate client install. As I recall, the ETC manual says to install the standard client first, then the ETC on top of that. I haven't looked at it in a while, though.

Re: WMQI and WMQI Broker .
Hi Balak, >>>>>What is the exact difference between WMQI and WMQI-Broker. From >>>>>version 2.1 onwards both are released by IBM. But WMQI CSD07 >>>>>available only for WMQI-Broker not for WMQI. The difference between these broker products is whether or not support for New Era (aka NEON) nodes, rules and formats are included as part of the product. For the v2 broker products WMQI includes this support, WMQI-B does not. Because WMQI contains these additional components, the testing and certification effort for fixpacks can take longer, and therefore service for these products will not necessarily be released simultaneously. I personally do not know whether or not this is the reason CSD07 is not yet available for WMQI, but if there is service incorporated into that fixpack that you require with WMQI then I would suggest that you contact IBM Support and ask when that service will be available for the WMQI product.

To do that, a) your transaction must operate under the control of a transaction manager and b) you must use the transaction manager's commit call. You are using the commit verb of an individual resource manager (exec sql commit), so only the updates of that resource manager (UDB) are being committed. To address this you can either a) run your transaction under the control of a transaction manager like TXSeries or Tuxedo, and use its commit call to coordinate the WMQ and UDB updates. Alternatively, you have the option with WMQ to configure the WMQ queue manager to act as a transaction manager, in which case your application can issue the WMQ commit verb (MQCMIT) and the queue manager will coordinate the WMQ and UDB updates.

Re: 2 sender channels, 1 rcvr channel
Hello WS, >>>I'm pretty sure the below will not work but would like >>>to confirm if anyone's tried this ? >>> >>>3 Qmgrs : QMA, QMB and QMC >>> >>>QMA communicates with QMC and >>>QMB communicates with QMC >>> >>>Only one receiver channel exists on QMC. >>>Corresponding sender channels exist on QMA and QMB >>>Awaiting your replies Yes, generic receiver channels are supported. What will happen is that multiple instances of the receiver channel will be created to handle the incoming requests. A few things to consider if you do this are: - Don't do this unless you've got V5.3 qmgrs. The reason is because there is no way to stop a specific generic receiver prior to V5.3 via STOP CHL MQSC. With V5.3 you have the ability to specify the partner connname to qualify the channel name to be stopped. - You must insure that whatever you are using to monitor channels at the receiving end can cope with having all the channels the same name. - The RESET CHL command cannot be done to a specific rcvr channel (OTOH, one could interpret this as a positive thing, one command does them all!)

Re: NPMCLASS
Hello, >>>It does seem odd, but also kind of useful. To me it means that >>>you can have a class of message that are sort of persistent, but >>>any logging is deferred until the qmgr shuts down. So you get >>>the performance benefits of a NP message yet there's persistence, >>>too. I suppose it means that the shutdown takes longer, and a >>>crash means your messages are lost, so I don't see that we'll >>>use it that much. I would say that's a fair assessment. Technically there really isn't any logging done, even at shutdown - what is done is that the messages are hardened to the queue-backing files, which will take some amount of time. Also, there may be a bit of a delay when opening a queue the first time of the day, as the queue buffer will be populated with any NP messages that might have been on the queue across a restart. I doubt this would be a significant delay, though. One caveat might be that there are some times when an application was developed to 'expect' queues to be empty in the morning, because they 'know' that the QM has just been restarted - kind of akin to overnight expiry. Another warning I was given was to be careful when switching the NPMCLASS(HIGH) attribute on for a queue, because once you do so you will not be able to back off CSD06 without deleting/redefining the queue - the reason is that a pre-CSD06 QM will interpret a queue with NPMCLASS(HIGH) attribute as a damaged object.

Re: Message Driven Beans and FAIL_IF_QUIESCING
Hi Peter, >>>Do MDBs not allow this? Will I have to insure that all MDBs are >>>ended before I bring down the QM, or if the QM ends before the MDBs >>>come down, then I have to kill them before trying to bring up the QM? Hmmm. I don't know whether there is anything in the MDB spec that precludes this working. There is no explicit support for it, though, just like there is no explicit support for FAIL_IF_QUIESCING in the JMS spec, it's something unique to WMQ implementation. If I had to guess I would say that it's something the MDB container would have to "honor" - perhaps WL does not? Is there a way to define "custom properties" associated with the MDB, as there is in WAS? Or perhaps WL is using an older version of the WMQ JMS libraries that does not support the FAIL_IF_QUIESCING property? You should be certain that the WMQ V5.3 JMS libraries are being used, and are at least at the CSD03 level, because I know there were some fixes to the FAIL_IF_QUIESCING code in CSD03. You could run a trace and see if the FAIL_IF_QUIESCING property is being set when the MDB starts. I'm afraid that's about all I can tell you, as I know nothing about WLs MDB implementation.

Re: MQ cluster, group messages and WMQI - a mutually exclusive combination??
Hi Lynn, >>>However, if I change the queue definition to DEFBIND(OPEN), >>>doesn't that mean that nothing will get clustered for that >>>queue? The particular message flow in question processes >>>many different interfaces, some containing groups and some >>>containing individual messages. They all go to the same >>>application and therefore all go to the same queue. I'm >>>afraid if I change the queue I will essentially be disabling >>>clustering for everything. Or am I misunderstanding how >>>DEFBIND(OPEN) works? One approach to dealing with this could be to have two MQOutput nodes in your messge flow, each specifying an Alias queue definition that pointed to the actual queue definition. One one of the Alias definitions you would specify DEFBIND(OPEN), on the other DEFBIND(NOTFIXED). In your message flow use a filter node to route messages that are part of a group to the MQOutput node representing the queue definition that was specified with DEFBIND(OPEN), and route the non-grouped messages to the other MQOutput node.

Yes. It really depends on whether you want the putting application to
"describe" the message to your message flow (in which case you can use the
RFH to accomplish this), or you want your message flow to "figure it out".
While there are other, more esoteric ways to do the above, the approaches
you describe are the most straightforward.
>>>So one more question now..in real production envs..suppose we

>>>whatever parsers we have in WMQI.
Basically, Yes. Note that you may not be forced to preprocess the message
body to identify the format before invoking the RCD, if you have some other
means to perform this identification. For example, if you can identify the
type of message from a field in the MQMD, or from the name of the
originating queue, etc, you might be able to infer the message type without
having to examine the input message itself. Or, sometimes a two-stage
approach is used, where a "generic" format is created to parse a portion of
the message that is the same across all messages (perhaps an
application-defined header is present), identification is accomplished
examining those fields, and a downstream RCD node used to reformat messages
in their "specific" format.

Re: WMQI usage query
Aby,
>>>in WMQI, we normally have an MRM, XML or BLOB message set which
>>>can take in delimited, or XML or plain messages. But when we input
>>>plain delimited messages we put in messages with the MQRFH2 header
>>>in it. Otherwise we will have to invoke the BLOB parser. Is there

I guess I'm not sure what the difference is between the "delimited"
messages you are processing via the MRM and the "plain delimited" messages
that you want treated differently. It seems to me that if you don't want to
process them using the MRM then the BLOB parser would be the correct
choice. Can you elaborate on exactly what it is you are trying to do? What
are you carrying in the RFH header that you use with such message
currently?
Or is what you want to do is take in "Mathew.21.19820507/75" and process it
as a simple string? If that is what you are trying to do, you don't need an
RFH. Simply take the message in as a BLOB, and cast it as a string, like
so:
set string = cast("InputRoot"."BLOB"."BLOB" as ccsid );
with being the codepage the string is represented in. Now you can use
functions like position and substring to parse the message yourself.
If this is not what you are looking for, please elaborate further on
exactly what it is you are trying to do.

Re: WebSphere 5 and IBM MQ Series (JMS vs MA88 java classes)
Hello, F, >>>1. Can I reuse the same EJB and the MA88 classes? You should be able to use the same EJB, but not the MA88 classes. MA88 is not supported with WAS V5, you will either need to use the WMQ V5.3 Java classes (if you are using WMQ with WAS) or the Embedded Messaging (EM) Java classes supplied with WAS V5. >>>2. MA88 java classes are compliant with WebSphere 5? No. In WAS you either need to use the WMQ V5.3 Java classes (if you are using WMQ with WAS) or the EM Java classes supplied with WAS V5. You might be able to connect a Java client using MA88 that runs outside of WAS to either WMQ or EM, but the issue then would be one of Support. If you use MA88 it must be the most recent release (V5.2.2). If you are using WMQ then I believe MA88 V5.2.2 will be supported through the end of the year. If you are using EM, the question of whether or not it is supported is a WAS question, I'm afraid I don't know the answer. >>>3. With WebSphere 5.0 it's mandatory use JMS and Message driven bean? You don't need to use MDBs. If you are using WAS EM then only JMS is supported. If you are using WMQ with WAS then you can use JMS, MDB, MQI Java classes, etc. >>>4. If I need to use JMS can i reuse my code into a Message Driven Bean? Don't know the answer, I'm afraid. >>>5. Do you know a IBM redbook that describe the best practice for webSphere 5 and IBM MQSeries integration? Don't know of a Redbook specifically on that subject, but I know there are several recent Redbooks that talk about using JMS and WMQ with WAS V5. You might investigate some of them. Posting these questions to a WAS group might get you more detailed answers specific to WAS. You could also try the JMS message board on http://www.mqseries.net - I've seen WAS-specific messages out there.

Re: Why does the MQSI Config Manager only run on the Windows Operating System
Matt, >>>Why does the MQSI Config Manager only run on the Windows Operating System? My understanding is that it is the MRM that is tied to the Windows platform. Other components are not (that is why you might have noticed that the ConfigMgr uses both ODBC and JDBC). While I know of no plans to move the ConfigMgr off the Windows platform, it was said at the Tech Conference last month that much (if not all) of the build-time function of the MRM is effectively being moved "upstream" to the Control Center. That being the case, a more platform-independent ConfigMgr becomes much simpler to implement. Will that be done? I have no idea. If this issue is important to WMQI customers I would suggest they provide IBM with that feedback, informally here if they like, but formally as well by submitting a requirement through your marketing rep. There is strength in numbers.

Re: WMQI- One vs multipe Execution Groups?
Steve, >>>I am just wondering whether you would ever want to >>>check out an EG in production. If this happens none >>>of the flows in the EG could run, of course. Has >>>this ever happened to anyone? When you "check out" an EG you are actually checking out its definition from the Configuration Manager repository -- not the broker. Thus checking out an EG, or a message flow for that matter, will not affect what is running in the broker. Any changes you make to a EG, message flow, etc are applied when you perform a Deploy against the broker or EG. When you deploy, the effect might be to stop the EG or message flow, but this would only be for the duration of time required to apply the changes being deployed, and thus would be quite short. >>>Wouldn't it be better for each flow to have its own >>>EG? Is there a considerable overhead in this approach >>>-- vs putting all related flows in one EG? There are both advanteges and disadvanteges to using multiple instances (threads) to deserialize a message flow in a single EG verses running the flow in multiple EGs. The WMQI performance reports available from the SupportPac site can help you in determining what approach would be better for your needs. As you are using pub/sub, it might be of interest to you to know that the default EG is always used as the pub/sub engine, regardless of whether or not the publishing flows themselves run in the default EG or a different one.

Re: WMQI- Nee help with PUB/SUB
;Designing
publish/subscribe applications"). Is this the reference you're referring
to? This is in the section "Subscriptions", and is referring to subscribers
sending their subscription registration messages as persistent. I think
your question, though, is in reference to the persistency of a publication,
correct?
There is also a subheading called "Message persistence" in Chapter 6
("Application Design") on page 76 (in my version of the Introduction and
Planning Guide). This section discusses transactional considerations. With
pub/sub applications, message persistence can apply to the publishers
messages as well as the message(s) delivered to subscribers. In the case of
the publisher, if the publication message is specified as persistent in the
MQMD, and this property is carried through your message flow to the
Publication node, the broker will treat the publication message as
persistent. However, whether or not the publication is delivered to the
subscriber(s) queue(s) as a persistent message depends on whether the
subscriber has requested persistent message delivery, and (if topic
security is being used) whether the subscriber is authorized to request
persistent delivery. If these conditions are met, the broker will put
publication messages to the subscriber queue(s) persistently.

WMQI does not use the concept of "stream" queues, that is a concept used by MQ base pub/sub (the MA0C SupportPac). Your publication queue would be specified on the message flow input node (MQInput, for example). However, because SYSTEM.BROKER.DEFAULT.STREAM queue is the default publication queue, applications might be using it, particularly if you are moving from an existing base pub/sub broker to WMQI. In this case you must create and deploy a message flow whose MQInput node services SYSTEM.BROKER.DEFAULT.STREAM. This will give you compatibility with base MQ pub/sub.

Re: MQSeries from Java
Gonzalo, >>>Does MQSeries provide Java support as a standard part? >>>I'm just asking for completeness sake, I'm pretty sure >>>it does. Yes. With the current release of the product (V5.3), Java support is integrated with the base product. For prior releases the Java support was made available as a product extention and distributed as a SupportPac, MA88. You can download the libraries and documentation from http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/txppacs/ma88.html. >>>Do I have only once choice?

I can't really be more specific here >>>because I really don't know what I'm talking about... You have several implementations you can choose from. The most direct is the Java flavor of the MQI. There is also the MQSeries implementation of the Java Message Service. JMS defines a generic view of a message passing service, and a number of messaging products (including MQSeries) support this J2EE standard. Finally, there is also the Application Messaging Interface. Like JMS, the AMI is designed to be transport independent. The AMI is an OAG/OAMAS standard and is available in other languages beside Java. The MQSeries Java MQI and JMS interfaces are incorporated into the base producted as of the V5.3 release. For prior releases, these API libraries and documentation can be downloaded from http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/txppacs/ma88.html. The AMI libraries and documentation can be downloaded from http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/txppacs/ma0f.html. The documentation supplied can probably assist you in selecting the API most suitable for your needs. >>>Is the Java MQSeries API as simple as the C one? I >>>mean, do I have direct equivalents to PUT and GET? The MQSeries Java MQI is more aligned with the C++ interface than the C interface, in that it is an OO interface.

Has anyone every >>>done this? What are the things to watch for? Hmmm. By this, do they mean on the AIX box they would be using an MQ client? That would not require any MQSeries server code on the AIX box in question. If not, simply creating a data object prepended with the equivelent of an MQMD will not cause it to magically appear on an MQ queue. You can't (legally) put something on an MQ queue without using the services of a queue manager, which requires following a strict set of formats and protocols (which is what an MQ Client does). However, I believe the FAP for MQ is proprietary and would have to be licensed (I'm sure reverse-engineering the FAP is prohibited by the license agreement). And the effort would be non-trivial (especially given that an MQ Client could be used on AIX for no additional charge). If they are not planning to use an MQ Client, I wonder if what they are looking at doing is writing (or expecting someone to write) a custom input node to accept data for input from somewhere other than an MQSeries queue. This is certainly possible with WMQI V2.1. You could write an input node to accept input from a file, or HTTP, etc. However, this would not be sent through MQSeries and would not be retrieved using an MQInput node. By prepending a file with a pseudo-MQMD and using a file-oriented custom WMQI input node, in theory the remainder of the message flow could be built to operate exactly as it would if an MQInput node had been used. However, if this is the intent, the biggest thing to watch out for would be, How would transactionalization be maintained (you mentioned this would be sent "in a fire-and-forget fashion")? By not using an MQInput node, the substitute node would be responsible for persisting the data somewhere and retrying in the event the message flow could not successfully process it. It's hard to be more specific until you have the additional details you currently lack.
