MQSeries.net :: View topic - MQ Encoding/CCSID - 1051/8859 - Conversion

MA · Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 2:54 pm Post subject:

All:
I have a situation where a Soloris machine (8859_1) is sending (this a client running on Soloris OS) the message to MQ Queue. The message destination is a HP-UX Box with default encoding of 1051. With the current setting the receiver end is seeing '??' marks in the payload.

I am using MQJava.

My Question(s):
1>: What MQ Headers needs to be populated by the client before dropping into MQ Queue.

2>: Do I need to do any conversion like encoding JAVA encoding before doing a MQ PUT. But I figured out that JAVA doesn't support 1051 encoding?.

3>: How the CCSID concept work?. Does MQ Queue manager is in control of doing the conversion. For example - it the MQ Queue Manager CCSID is set to 819 does it mean that - that the final encoding and what ever data I put into Queue going to get converted to 819?.

Thanks a lot in advance. I appreciate all your help in this regard.
