MQSeries.net :: View topic - setting message id issue in Visual Basic Program

vids

Hi all,

I have two Visual Basic programs, First program will pull the message
from the request queue and updates the sqlServer Database (table1).

Once the table1 is updated, there is another application which pulls the data from the table1 and processes the data and puts the response to the table2.

Now my 2nd VB program should pull the record from the table2 and put the message to the response queue. While putting the message to the response queue, it has to set the message id to same as that of the message id pulled from the request message from request queue.

Since these 2 VB program are running independently, I'm planning to store the message id of the request message in table1 and then the 2nd VB program can pull the message id from the table and set the same message id to the response message.

Since the message id is in Hex ....My question is how to store the message id???

I declared a string variable and stored the messageid in that.

**********************************
1st VB program has

Dim Msgid As String
Msgid = GetMsg.MessageIdHex ( where GetMsg is the MQMessage object)

If I store the Msgid in database and then in the 2nd VB program if I pull this value and set is as

PutMsg.MessageIdHex = Msgid

will this work fine???

I'm very new to Visual basic and I'm using a sample programs available in Tools\mqax\Samples\VB dir.

For testing this scenario....I have a single VB program which pulls the message from the request queue , stores the Message id in a String variable, puts the response message to response queue after setting the message id as explained above.

Before running this Vb program, I checked the message id of the request message in the explorer and after running the Vb program....I checked the message id of the response message and both look the same.

But When I run this program with another requesting application,
{which actually puts the request message and waits for the response message and then pulls the response message after matching with the message id}
it does not pull the message which is put by my 2nd VB program.

Looks like that application is not finding the message with the same message id.
I feel I have not set the message id in a right way. Can any one help me out in solving this issue??? I really appreciate your input.

Thanks in Advance....
