Hi All,
I need some help relating to XML data on MQ for the below scenario:
There are 2 applications (A=Sender using JMS and B=Receiver using Pro*C):
a) Application A sends the XML data to Application B's local MQ via Application A's MQBridge.
b) Application B should read the XML using Pro*C and process the XML data.

I'm a bit confuse whether the XML data will be available for Application B as a XML (formatted) or just a simple continuous String with XML Tags.

Also are there any setting should be made in Application B to receive the data in a XML format or any code/property should be set in Pro*C.

Please guide
Thanks in advance.

Both sides will have to serialize and parse the data.

This is no different than sending it over HTTP.

Why does this matter? The formatting (by which I'm assuming you mean 1 tag per line as per IE, XMLSpy et al) make no difference to the syntax of a document and a compliant XML parser will treat both as equivalent. Note only that many tools (like IE) will display XML as formatted even if the actual document is a single continuous string.

But to echo the completely accurate comments of my most worthy associate, sending data over WMQ is no different to sending it over TCP/IP. Dealing with the payload is the responsibility of the applications at each end & WMQ plays no part in this unless it is specifically instructed by the applications to handle any variations in code page. Such variations have no connection on the data being XML, formatted XML or instructions for assembling flat-pack furniture.
