The following IBM MQSeries Family SupportPacs have been released:
IA0M: MQSeries Integrator - IMS message handler Plug-in

This SupportPac is an MQSeries Integrator V2 custom plug-in node. The node is designed for use in the transformation of messages moving to and from an IMS environment via MQSeries. It is responsible for the addition or removal of the IMS segment headers, LLZZ(s). The SupportPac contains the functional details of the node, instructions for the build and install of the node and examples of how it can be used.

IA78: MQSeries Integrator - XML to ESQL mapper

The XML To ESQL Mapper generates ESQL mappings from sample input and output XML messages. This is achieved by modifying the xml files using special symbols to create mapping files. The map files then are used to generate the base ESQL mappings needed to transform the source xml message into the target format. The mapper can dramatically cut the time required to build ESQL mapping by generating the initial ESQL mappings from the actual XML messages being used in the message flows. It eliminates the troublesome problems such as typing mistakes and constructing the correct correlation's names.

IA79: MQSeries Integrator - DxPool Plug-in

This SupportPac is an MQSeries Integrator V2 custom plug-in node. The node (DxPool) is designed for use within an MQSeries Integrator message flow to share the data between messages. The message can be passed through the same message flow or different message flows. These message flows can be of the same broker, within the same execution group or in different execution group or may be in different Brokers on the same machine.

When a business grows and the messages start becoming complex, users often need to share data between messages. To achieve this, the node provides a simple but robust method of data sharing between messages. The node is implemented using the Shared Memory concept. In this way all the processes running on the same system can use this shared memory segment. (Database Node can be used to achieve the same output in most of the cases but this node provides a simpler, faster method to share data between messages).

ESQL is provided to store and retrieve the data from the node. It is same as for the compute Node. This provides the user a simple and highly flexible way to store and retrieve the data from the Pool.

The following IBM MQSeries Family SupportPacs have been updated:

IH03: MQSeries Integrator V2 - Message display, test and performance utilities

This SupportPac contains a utility that is useful for the development and testing of MQSeries and MQSeries Integrator Version 2 applications. Test messages are stored as files, which are then read by the application and written to an MQSeries queue. The program is GUI based. Command line performance measurement utilities are also provided. The following changes have been made in this release:

- Added purge queue button to main tab.
- Changed queue manager name edit box to a combo box.
- Added command line utility to list queue managers defined on an NT system.
- Added an alternative performance analysis utility (mqtimes2).
