We are running WMB V6 csd 5 on Windows XP. We have to accept all kind of messages from external client. So we have a flow that receive all incoming messages as BLOB and then process or rout the message base on the message data.
So a simple flow
MQINPUT - compute ........ MQOUTPUT
MQINPUT node has BLOB as the parser. The compute node is performing
simple functions to examine the blob
For example it has ESQL like
SET NAME = SUBSTRING(cast(InputRoot.BLOB.BLOB as CHAR) from 10 for 10). Everything works fine except for message that comes in with format = MQHRF2.
In debug instead of seeing
Message
-Properties
-MQMD
-BLOB

the broker actually parsed the message into
Message
-Properties
-MQMD
-MQRFH2
-XMLNS

So any ESQL that refer to BLOB is failing.
Is that the normal behavior even when we specify the parser as BLOB in the MQINPUT node ?
