Build the flows with ant or similar & get that to do it
Use $MQSI or any of the other methods to record versioning.

What you actually want is that each time you deploy a version of the flow, then the flow has the correct version number visible.
You DO NOT want the "version" number to update each time you deploy - because it might not be a new version.
As Vitor said, though, the proper way to do this is to create a script that automates the deployment, and uses the version number information from a Source Control Management or Version Control System to populate information that is visible after deployment. |

If you really do want values to be changed every time you do a deploy, then the deployment and last modification times should work sufficiently well for you. These are shown automatically every time you select a message flow in the Toolkit.
If you want version information of the form "Vn.n" then you'll need to use something like CVS, as the Broker is not a change management system.
If you want to do this, then embed text in your message flows of the form $MQSI MyVersion = $id$ MQSI$. Then when you check out the file from CVS, the $id$ will get expanded to the CVS version number.
When you deploy that message flow, the broker will automatically detect the $MQSI..MQSI$ eyecatchers and the CVS version information will be displayed in the Toolkit.
The WMB InfoCenter has lots of good information on versioning. For example, http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v7r0m0/topic/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/ac26550_.htm and http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v7r0m0/topic/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/ac35480_.htm. |

Is there a way to get to this "version" with ESQL code? I would like to get a flow to "report" its version by including maybe an HTTP node to just echo back its version.
I think this can be useful for me if I do not have access to a toolkit, but to a browser.
Any ideas? comments? Can this be done with a generic subflow?
Thanks

It'd be better to build a small flow that uses a JCN and the CMP API to list the versions of all flows or of a specific one and returns an HTTP document.
You really don't want to put this amount of work in every single flow. |
