We're running MQSI 2.0.2 on NT and Sun Solaris. Our application requires detailed loggings of all incoming and outgoing messages. Currently the MQOutput node only has a failure terminal. Any plan to add an output terminal to it ? we'd like to put a with option NEW_MSGID but without the output terminal, we have no way of knowing the MQSeries-assigned MsgId. For now, we have to manually build the MQ MsgId before the put. This is not a good approach to guarantee uniqueness of MsgId especially in case of disaster recovery.

That wouldn't work because it's MQ that generates the unique MessageID on the PUT and there's no MQ option to just generate that MessageID.
If you want MQSI to generate the ID, then why not just generate the message ID yourself, the same way that MQ does:
AMQ space <qmgr name> <some kind of timestamp>
Or for real over-kill, you could always make the output queue from the flow the input queue to a second flow that just captures the information you want and then pass the message on to it's final destination.
Cheers,

| If you need to generate a truly unique message id then suggest you use the UUID support pac (IA0L). This works well (tested on both NT and AIX successfully). You need to tailor the node so that the unique number is inserted in to "Root.MQMD.MsgId". |

UUID function is standard in ESQL with WMQI version 2.1
MQ Output nodes have two terminals (out and failure) (at least in WMQI 2.1 they do). |

...and in WMQI 2.1 the MQOutput node writes information on the message(s) sent to LocalEnvironment.WrittenDestination
Any downflow node can access this information. |

With WMQI 2.1 you can also write your own custom plug-in nodes in Java or C. In this way you could create one where you can define as many output terminals as you like that writes data or messages to anywhere such as a directory or FTP site or log file.
You could even set some Message Flow specific parameters to take level of logging like 1,2 or 3 depending on the detail that you want outputed.
If you want some example code let me know and I will post it. |
