Hello all, I'm new to MQ broker, we have version 6.0. I wondered if anyone has a sample project on how to convert XML to CWF and CWF to XML? I don't need anything fancy, but anything with documentation on how to set up the message formats and the ESQL would be helpful.
Thank you in advance. |

That's virtually out of the box. Set up a message set for the CWF (possibly using one of the wizards, I imagine you have the file structure in a machine readable format someplace) and map one to the other in a Compute node.
With a little luck & ingenuity you can do it in the same message set and produce both CWF & XML as wire formats. This would also allow you to use a Mapping node to write your ESQL for you.
Standard product documentation from the IBM site will tell you everything for this.

The WMB toolkit product help has various samples which you can import by just clicking on them in the tutorial.
The various WMB Redbooks probably have some downloadable material as well. |

I don't understand that comment. I hope you're not spreading the urban myth that 'only MRM can use message sets' 
In the toolkit you can use a message set ( and therefore use a Mapping node ) with any domain. For new message flows, I recommend using XMLNSC for the XML side of the flow.
In the runtime, only MRM and XMLNSC use the message set for parsing/validation. |

I was expressing the hope that the XML & CWF formats were sufficiently similar to allow the use of the same message set.

What, really?

| I have tried to use the samples and the out of the box code. No use. It tells me what to do, but not how to do it. Thats why I asked for help. I don't have any formal training on WMB, but I have been told to code in it. Any help would be appreciated. |

What's wrong with this situation....? 
Ah, the joys of modern management.
I stand by my original comment that this is so straightforward the IBM docs will probably be enough to set up the little you will need. I still don't see you'd need much more than a Compute/Mapping node and some external connectivity.
I don't suppose I need to recommend you get yourself some formal training.

IBM offer some free training (proof of technology) sessions at Hursley for WMB 6.1.
Otherwise the Redbooks tend to have the most step by step descriptions.
Getting hold of a WMB consultant/trainer for a day in-house could be worthwhile and more cost effective than struggling on alone. |

| Thanks for the responses, I have looked through the documents and I don't see anthing about xml to cwf or cwf to xml. A lot of you are telling me what to do, but not how to do it. Sorry for asking the question, I'll try else where. |

hi,
We would certainly like to help you get up to speed. I'm interested in this comment:

Surely, if you import the sample you will see how it has been done. Then you can copy/modify/experiment from there.
What specifically do you need to know? |

The description of message sets talks about them a lot.
