@fjb_saper I tried setting the CCDTURL
_cf.SetStringProperty(XMSC.WMQ_CCDTURL, @"file://C:\" + ccdt);
But it has no effect, in the event viewer I always see it's searching for a file: 'C:\ProgramData\IBM\MQ\AMQCLCHL.TAB'. Even my filename is something else. I can conclude that the property I've set has no effect...
Is it because I'm using an older version of IBM MQ? I'm using 8.0.0.5. |
It is probably because you have the channel lib and channel tab environment variables set. Please unset them so that only the CCDT URL gets passed as property to your XMS connection factory.
Have fun

| I set them as a process environment variable. So they are deleted each time I shut down the app. I didn't use global variables. I'm pretty sure |

But I wrote here several times that environment variables only work if I configure only one CCDT file. I need to configure more than one CCDT file in one process (application). Environment variables aren't getting updated when changing the value.
I found a workaround with the property XMSC.WMQ_CCDTURL. When this is set, it looks for a default file in the default location (which is 'C:\ProgramData\IBM\MQ\AMQCLCHL.TAB'). What I do is, I substitute that default file with my custom file each time I'm making connection. After successful connection I rename it back to the original name. This way the right CCDT file is always being picked up. |

Great if this works for you! Thanks for sharing your solution!

What happens if there are multiple processes doing this?
What happens if the rename fails before or after the connection?
I doesn't seem to be a robust workaround.
Can the MQ connection parameters be specified in the ConnectionFactory / CreateQueue? (sorry, I am not very familiar with this MQI)

MQ parameters can be set but compression is not supported, therefore I need to use CCDT.
I make connections synchronously during app init so there is no concurrent usage of these CCDT files.
What I didn't test is what happens if the connection tries reconnecting (I've set the property auto_reconnect to true)
I'm renaming using a try/finally block, so the restoring the name should always work. |

When using CCDT, have you confirmed that the actual MQ channel packets are being compresed?
