Hi,
Data conversion can be done at Sender or Receiver end.
If it has to be done at Receiver end-
I think it can be done by:
1. Receiver MCA automatically
2. Queue Manger
3. User-Exit programs

I had following questions on these:
How does Queue Manager does the data conversion?
Why it is not done by MCA's?

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Prsanna Laddha

I am constantly amazed at this question.

Always convert in the receiving application MQGET, just use the CONVERT option in the MGMGO.

It is bad practice to convert messages en-route as they may pass through several queue managers.

Always code your applications to allow them to receive messages from different types of queue manager in different character sets and also allow them to work as MQ client or MQ server based application without a code change.

It's easy, just CONVERT on MQGET and MQ takes care of it providing the message has a valid CCSID etc.

Hi zpat,
I wanted to know basically who will carry out the data conversion when application will specify CONVERT?
Whether it will be MCA or Queue Manager?

Thanks,
Prasanna

Sorry, I don't know MQ internals - why does it matter?
