Hi,

I've been asked to build a proof of concept on the following subject :
I have to build a flow with 2 MQ as input : MQ1 and MQ2.

Messages in MQ1 and MQ2 are XML and are functionaly linked together : 1 message in MQ1 is linked with 1-n messages in MQ2.

The workflow is :
1) Get a message in MQ1. This message contains in its data part several fields containing IDs. So the first thing is to parse this message, get all the IDs, and store them. No problem for that.
2) Now the tricky part : each ID retrieved from the message from MQ1 equals a messageID of a message in MQ2. So now I've retrieved these IDs from MQ1 message, for each ID, I need to get the message from MQ2 whose messageID matches with the ID.

I now the MQInput node has a property "Match message ID". In a perfect world, I would be able to change it dynamically, but from what I've seen (and I hope I'm wrong), I don't believe it is possible.

So what would you suggest to handle this need in the best manner ?

Let me know if my description is not crystal clear.

Thanks !
