Hello MQers,
Have you ever needed to make a quick change to an MQ message? Or perhaps create some test messages for an application? Or perhaps the message has gone to the wrong place and you want a quick way to copy or move them to where they should be? We have a new product for you to try.
MQGem Software is pleased to announce a new product, MQEDIT, a Live-Parsing editor for IBM MQ. Watch the changes happen to the message as you type. The editor has a host of features:- Editing of either message body or message descriptor
- Editing either in formatted or hex mode
- Move or Copy messages simple by drag&drop, even between Queue Managers!
- Display different levels of message detail
- Editing supporting in a wide range of ASCII and EBCDIC codepages
- Direct editing of big-endian and little-endian messages
- Automatically maintains structure integrity as you edit
- Direct editing of PCF structures, let MQEDIT do all the hard work
- Add and Remove message parts, such as headers and PCF structures, effortlessly
- Display hex bytes, such as Correl Id , in predictive text
- Find and Replace capability
- Full Undo/Redo support
- Full Copy/Paste support
- Fully configurable colours and fonts
- Bookmark store and restore position
- Message list auto-refresh and export
- And more..
MQEDIT runs on Windows but can connect, via the MQ Client, and edit messages, on all versions of MQ on all platforms. This includes z/OS where messages can be edited directly in EBCDIC.
The product, which is in Beta phase, is free for you to download and try out until at least January 2017. You don't even need to register any details to play with it. Just go to http://www.mqgem.com/mqedit.html to download.
All we ask in return is that in a week or two when you've played with it you send us an email telling us what you liked and what you didn't like about the editor and perhaps what features you'd like to see in the future.
We look forward to hearing your comments. Please send them to support@mqgem.com
Cheers,
Paul.

Hello MQers,
We are pleased to say that the Beta of our new Live Parsing Message Editor is going well and many of you have downloaded the program and are using it successfully. Not only that but the feedback we have received so far has been very positive.
However, from the download statistics less than 10% of you have fed back comments. Come on, don't be shy. We are interested in your opinion whether it is good or bad. This is a chance to tell us what you like, what you don't like and what you think is missing.
Alternatively, of course, come along and talk to us at MQTC (MQGem at MQTC). People arriving with beer will be given priority 
If you haven't tried out the editor yet why not give it a try? You can download it from http://www.mqgem.com/mqedit.html and it is free to use until at least the end of January 2017.
Cheers,
Paul.

Hello MQers,
MQGem Software is pleased to announce the next driver of its Live-Parsing editor (MQEDIT) is available. As many of you will know MQEDIT makes creating, copying, browsing, editing and moving messages a breeze. It supports a host of useful features such as:
- Editing of either message body or message descriptor
- Editing either in formatted or hex mode
- Move or Copy messages simple by drag&drop, even between Queue Managers!
- Display different levels of message detail
- Editing supporting in a wide range of ASCII and EBCDIC codepages
- Direct editing of big-endian and little-endian messages
- Automatically maintains structure integrity as you edit
- Direct editing of PCF structures, let MQEDIT do all the hard work
- Add and Remove message parts, such as headers and PCF structures, effortlessly
- Display hex bytes, such as Correl Id , in predictive text
- Find and Replace capability
- Full Undo/Redo support
- Full Copy/Paste support
- Fully configurable colours and fonts
- Bookmark store and restore position
- Message list auto-refresh and export
- And more..
MQEDIT knows the format of the standard MQ messages such as MQXQH, MQDLH, MQPCF as well as XML and EDIFACT messages. However, in this release we have also added the ability to edit user defined formats. This facility allows all manner of message formats to be defined using a simple definition language. For example, the following simple definition might define a customer record message.
| Code: |
struct CUST; Customer Record
{
int Version;
char Name[50];
int CustNo;
time32 JoinDate;
float Rating;
hex DBId[12];
char Address1[100];
char Address2[100];
char Address3[100];
char Address4[100];
}
format CUSTOMER
{
struct CUST;
}
|
You can see that the syntax is very similar to a host of programming languages and, as such, is fairly intuitive to most. These definitions state that if MQEDIT sees a message with a format value of 'CUSTOMER' it should display the message in the format of the CUST structure. Alternatively you can tie a structure definition to a queue name if you don't use your own format values.
Many other data types are available and more complicated messages can be defined, if necessary. For example you can have variable length strings, variable length arrays or embedded structures. Why not give it a try and see whether your own messages can be displayed.
The product, which is in Beta phase, is free for you to download and try out until at least January 2017. You don't even need to register any details to play with it. You can download it from http://www.mqgem.com/mqedit_download.html
All we ask in return is that in a week or two when you've played with it you send us an email telling us what you liked and what you didn't like about the editor and perhaps what features you'd like to see in the future. Our thanks to those of you who have taken the time and trouble to make suggestions so far, a number of which have been implemented already.
We look forward to hearing your comments. Please send them to support@mqgem.com
Cheers,
Paul.
