Hi

I want to add event monitoring to flows I have created (on Broker 7). The monitor message would contain a payload of fields from an XMLNSC message that is processed by the flows. A subscription would be created for each event. My question is : if the destination of the subscription is an alias queue pointing to a remote MQ queue on an iSeries, would the message data be in a format that could be read in from an iSeries application i.e. an RPG program.

You can't point a qalias at an object that is not defined on the queue manager that the qalias is defined on.

So you can't just use a qalias in place of a qremote.

The format of any message at all is readable by an RPG program on iSeries. The question you're really asking is "how much work will it be?".

The answer is that monitoring event messages are XML messages.

Hi

Thanks for the quick response. The alias queue has a base object of a remote queue that is pointing to the queue on the iSeries. I wasn't sure whether there would be any Ascii - Ebcdic conversion problems.

That depends on the application reading the message.

I'm quite sure RPG programs can set MQGMO_CONVERT.
