I am writing an error handler, that is hooked up to the fail/catch nodes of an MQInput node; and I need to be able to include the failed message inside the error message I'm creating.

The error message being created is in the XMLNSC domain (
Code:
SET OutputRoot.XMLNSC.ExceptionMessage...
); the incoming message could be XMLNSC; or it could be BLOB, so I need to be able to deal with both cases. I am using a Compute node (ESQL) to do this (so the error handler is a subflow that is just Input > ensure error is only handled once no matter how many times it's backed out > compute node to create error message > MQOutput node; with some additional handling of errors within the error handler, so they don't go back to the main part of the message flow).

In the Compute node, I'm pulling various auditing information from the incoming message header; and that works fine. But as soon as I reference InputBody, of course I get an exception if the incoming message is not valid XML.

For example, imagine the incoming message
Code:
<test
. Because it's not well-formed XML, the parser tries to parse it and fails (which is also what caused the error handler to be invoked in the first place!!)

So, how can I grab that badly-formed XML and include it within my output message?

Things I've tried so far

Code:
   
DECLARE InputMessageBlob BLOB ASBITSTREAM(InputBody);
DECLARE InputMessageChar CHAR CAST(InputMessageBlob AS CHAR CCSID InputRoot.MQMD.CodedCharSetId);
SET outRef.nm1:OriginalMessage.(XMLNSC.CDataField)nm1:Content = InputMessageChar;


That fails on the first line with a parser exception.

Code:
SET outRef.nm1:OriginalMessage.(XMLNSC.CDataField)nm1:Content = InputBody;


Again, that fails with a parser exception.

Is there any way around this? The first of the above examples works if the incoming message is valid XML (or even if it's not XML at all) - but not if it's partially formed XML

Reset Content Descriptor node to change to a BLOB domain and then a compute node which handles that (now) BLOB data as your needs dictate.

Or, you know, check the name of the last child of InputRoot...

That's fantastic! I'd forgotten about that node, and got so focused on doing things within the Compute node that I didn't look into other options.

Thanks
