hello,

i have following message on a queue:
<Broker uuid="d800cf4b-0b01-0000-0080-e0787a422226" label="WBIMBBRT" version="1">
<StatusChange new="Stopped"/>
</Broker>

(this is actualy the status of a Message Broker then i received by subsribing to $SYS/Broker/+/Status)

I have a VB.NET application who needs to read this message from to queue.
But i can't use this message.

The problem is that i still have the RFH2 header in the message.
The only thing i can do is do message.readbytes but then i get:

Code:

8270723200020002080011700418432323232323232320000004184000136601121159962606711110910997110100628011798108105115104604767111109109971101006260801179879112116628210111697105110801179860478011798791121166260801179879112116627911610410111483117981157911010812160478011798791121166260841111121059962368389834766114111107101114478766737766668284478311697116117115604784111112105996260471121159962320002860109991006260771151006212010910811560477711510062604710999100623232606611411110710111432117117105100613410056484899102529845489848494548484848454848564845101485556559752505050505434321089798101108613487667377666682843432118101114115105111110613449346260831169711611711567104971101031013211010111961348311611111211210110034476260476611411110710111462


But what to do with this?

the VB.NET code is:

Code:

            QMGR_T = New MQQueueManager(My.Settings.QM_Test_Name, My.Settings.QM_Test_Channel, My.Settings.QM_Test_Location)

            'read Q

            Dim openopt As Integer = MQC.MQOO_INPUT_AS_Q_DEF + MQC.MQOO_BROWSE + MQC.MQOO_INQUIRE
            Dim getopt As New IBM.WMQ.MQGetMessageOptions
            getopt.Options = MQC.MQGMO_BROWSE_FIRST '+ MQC.MQGMO_CONVERT
            Q_Status_T = New MQQueue(QMGR_T, My.Settings.QM_Test_StatusQ, openopt, "", "", "")

            If Q_Status_T.CurrentDepth > 0 Then
                Dim message As New MQMessage()

                message.Format = MQC.MQFMT_RF_HEADER_2
                message.CharacterSet = 1208
                Dim counter As Integer = 0
                While counter < Q_Status_T.CurrentDepth
                    Q_Status_T.Get(message, getopt)
                    getopt.Options = MQC.MQGMO_BROWSE_NEXT + MQC.MQGMO_CONVERT
                    counter = counter + 1
                End While
                Dim length As Integer = message.MessageLength
                Dim bytes As Byte() = message.ReadBytes(length)
                Dim text As String = ""
                Dim i As Integer
                For i = 0 To bytes.Length - 1
                    text = text & bytes(i).ToString
                Next

                'Dim text As String = message.ReadLine
   
                TextBox1.Text = text


Anybody knows what to do?

i looked at XMS, but that doesnt give me a possibility to browse messages (i want to keep them on the queue).

perhaps i could send this message trough a message flow and strip the RFH2 header, but that seems overkill and perhaps not possible, am i wrong?

You really don't want to leave this message on the queue.

You want to use XMS and create a new subscription to this topic.

EVERY SUBSCRIBER GETS IT'S OWN COPY OF A PUBLICATION.

If you *really* need, for some strange reason, to have a queue that gets full of these subscriptions, then create ANOTHER subscription.

Also, remember how MQ headers are built - just like MIME headers. The MQMD is fixed, and returned seperately. Each additional header is in the message body and separated from the next by a blank line.

don't worry, i created a new subscription to a new queue.
and i'm reading from that new queue.

now i created a msgflow who deletes the RFH2 header and sets the format to stringformat and that does the trick.
altough i find this solution an overkill.

But why do you want to leave the messages on the queue?

Because it only post a message when
a) the broker starts
b) the broker stops

And the application that i'm writing will not run constantly.
So when i starts up, it must know the last posted state of the broker.

Of course i could save that kind of data in a DB or something but i prefer to keep the data at one place.
Perhaps i will add some lines of code to clean to keep the queue at a maximum depth of 10 messages (all above will be cleaned).
Or i do not, and use the messages to create statistics about the uptime of the broker (what should be 100% )
