Websphere MQ Connector

This adapter sends, receives, and counts messages from an IBM Websphere MQ message queue, supporting MQ version 7.

Note:

Note that this adapter works independently from the queue configuration of the MQ Series Transfer Adapter (within x4.ear this is done in the conf/QueueConfig.xml file).

Properties

Operation

Determines which operation is executed with the message queue.

Possible values:

  • Send: Send data from the previous process step to the MQ Series queue.

  • Receive: Read message into the Technical Process

  • Commit: Complete transaction

  • Rollback: Cancel transaction and undo all changes

  • Count: Output the number of messages in the queue in an XML document.

Parameters

Adapter

Main class of the adapter (do not change!)

Possible values: de.softproject.integration.adapter. ibmmq.MQAdapter: Main class (default)

toXML

If property Operation was set to Receive: Output the result of the process step as an XML document; if the MQMessage.format parameter is also set to NONE, the message is Base64-encoded.

Possible values:

  • true: Generate XML document containing header and body of the message with all properties (see example).

  • false: Generate an MQ message as a result of the process step (default).

ccdtUrl

URL to a Client Channel Definition Table (CCDT)

There are three different ways to define the ccdtUrl:

  1. Via the Java arguments -DMQCHLLIB and -DMQCHLTAB when starting the X4 Server
    Possible values:
    -DMQCHLLIB:Path to the table file
    -DMQCHLTAB: AMQCLCHL.TAB (IBM default name)
  2. Through the Java argument -Dx4.mqseries.ccdtUrl
    Example: -Dx4.mqseries.ccdtUrl=file:/// Path_to_Table/AMQCLCHL.TAB
  3. Via the ccdtUrl parameter in the adapter itself

The above priority is applied.

Status values

1The operation was executed successfully.
0

The operation was executed successfully, but without any result.

-1The operation failed due to a technical error.

With Operation Receive messages can be read from the queue into the Technical Process.

Input

For Operation Receive the adapter does not expect an input document.

Output

For example, for Operation Receive and if Property Operation is set to Receive, the adapter outputs the following XML document:

HTML/XML 
<document>
<header>
   <CorrelationID>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA</CorrelationID>
   <MessageID>QU1RIFFNX3NwX2Nvbm5lYxvAdUQgC9sH</MessageID>
   <MessageSequenceNr>1</MessageSequenceNr>
   <MessageFormat>MQSTR</MessageFormat>
   <ReplyToQueue/>
   <ReplyToQueueMngr>QM_sp_connect</ReplyToQueueMngr>
   <backoutCount>0</backoutCount>
</header>
<body>Message</body>
</document>

Operation: Count

Input

For Operation Count the adapter does not expect an input document.

Output

For Operation Count, the adapter outputs an XML document that contains the number of messages in the queue in the root <Count> element.
