| I understand the basics of trigerring, but I'm confused regarding the process definitions for the queue. If I want to start a Java program once I recieve a message on a queue, how do I do that. I mean how do I say something like, start this java program com.sun.java.MyProgram when I recieve a message on my queue? Thank you all. |

You can look at Chapter 14. "Starting MQSeries applications using triggers" in MQSeries Application Programming Guide to understand the triggering process.
For triggering Java program, if you are working on Windows OS, you can create a batch file with "java <program name>" and specify the complete path where batch file is located in Application Identifier field while defining the process definitions. |

Here is how I triggered the MQIVP sample in the process definition.
define process(JAVATEST.P) applicid('java -classpath /opt/mqm/java/samples/base:/opt/mqm/java/lib:/opt/mqm/java/lib/com.ibm.mq.jar:/
opt/mqm/java/lib/connector.jar: MQIVP') replace
cheers, Rich |

Hi,
I am trying to do the same thing...triggering a java program. I read the replies above and still have a few questions.
1) For the Process name, can I give it any string name I want ?
3) For the APPLICID, can I point it to my java class file, or do I need to point it to a batch command file as mentioned by one poster in order to execute my Java program ?
4) For the APPLTYPE, do I specify MQAT_WINDOWS_NT variable, or can I not specify that ?
5) Is the USERDATA a parameter that I can pass to my triggered program, and can I not define it if my program doesn't take parameters ?
Thanks for anyone that can reply. |

I can answer 1 & 5
1) Process name can be any valid string.
5) if you dont have any userdata then leave field blank

Hey, what happened to question #2 ?? 
Anyway, here's the answers to your other questions:

You can point it to any executable file. This would include scripts. But a java class file won't work. You can however stick the entire call to java, specifying your class file in the APPLICID field, and this will work.

4) For the APPLTYPE, do I specify MQAT_WINDOWS_NT variable, or can I not specify that ?

Interesting, I had never seen MQAT_WINDOWS_NT before, and sure enough, in the Application Programming Reference, there was a whole list of operating systems with MQAT_ prepended, so apparently you can use these in the APPLTYPE field. However, I've always used just "UNIX" and "WINNT" and they seem to work fine. Apparently the queue manager recognizes these as equivalent to MQAT_UNIX and MQAT_WINDOWS_NT respectively...
