Dears,

We have an application that will use MQI to connect to our MQ server and put message to a certain local queue MonitoringQ - We need to copy the message once being put the MonitoringQ to another local queue MonitoringQ1 (with same message id -if possible) - no application will get from MonitoringQ - There will be only one applications the will get messages but from MonitoringQ1

We are on MQ 9.1 on windows...What are the possible ways to achieve this ?

Thanks for your help

PS: we can not change the application to put messages in the MonitoringQ and MonitoringQ1 - we need to do this via MQ config.

thanks
Heba

Hi,

<Vendor_Plug>

You should have a look at MQ Message Replication. Its purpose is to replicate the messages (MQMD and payload) in a queue to 1 or more other queues.

Do you need to copy it or can you just cause the message to redirect to MonitoringQ1?

For example:
Code:
DELETE QLOCAL('MonitoringQ1')
DEFINE QALIAS('MonitoringQ1') TARGET('MonitoringQ')


Cheers,
Morag

Hi,

<Vendor_Plug>

If you have messages arriving on queue 'MonitoringQ' and you want to store a copy of each message for safe keeping and have another copy for processing then I would suggest you use 3 queues. The source queue MonitoringQ, the saved copy MonitoringQSave and the one you process MonitoringQ1. You would then have a program which processes the incoming message and puts it to the other queues.

You can do this kind of thing with our Q and QLOAD products.

For example commands:

Code:
q -I MonitoringQ -o MonitoringQSave -o MonitoringQ1 -w 999999
or
Code:
qload -I MonitoringQ -o MonitoringQSave -o MonitoringQ1 -w 999999


You can have additional targets just by adding more -o parameters. You can choose whether to also write the message to stdout, change the priority, transactional characteristics etc.

</Vendor_Plug>

Cheers,

Paul

What is the reason that you want the message IDs to be the same ?
If that's not really required you could simply use pub/sub as in below example:

If nothing else, this is a prime example of why an application should only PUT/GET via a QALIAS.

Dear Morag

Yes I want to copy each message comes to the MonitoringQ to MonitoringQ1
Message ID can be different (no issues for this)

Another application will process the messages from MonitoringQ1 - where as messages in MonitoringQ will be kept until there is a manual intervention from an administrator...

Many Thanks for your help,
Heba

In which case crashdog's solution would work for you.

For this document https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/mq-you-want-put-message-queue-and-you-want-generate-duplicate-messages-other-queues, you probably want to define the topic as follows:

Code:

define topic(T1) topicstr('TOPIC1') usedlq(NO)


If you don't, the standard queue manager set up on modern queue managers will start putting messages on the DLQ if Q1 or Q2 were ever to become full. This is probably something you don't want to have happen.

Thanks tczielke...

I followed up the method in the link :
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/mq-you-want-put-message-queue-and-you-want-generate-duplicate-messages-other-queues

But unfortunately it does not fit the situation that I have...

The solution in the doc is writing in alias queue and once message is put there ...it will disappear from the alias queue and go to the 2 queues that are subscribed in the topic...

the problem with this solution is that, the application that will put message is taking the input queue name from config form... and its logic flow mandates that messages should stay there for sometime until it being checked against some business conditions...but in the same time another application will need to start processing the message immediately...that is why we want to copy messages to another queue from which the second application will GET messages...and keep the message copy in the first input queue, till decision is made...I know it is not a good design... but they asked me to see possible ways to do

I think it would be possible via channel exit or via application triggers...
if any one can give me just examples to start with...it will be great...

Thanks
Heba

A qalias is NOT a queue. The only type of queue that can hold messages is a qlocal. A alias definition is an abstraction that allows for another name (or multiple names) for a local queue (QLocal). At mqopen, an alias definition must resolve to a QLocal. All gets/puts are to the QLocal.

So what's the problem? The message goes (via the alias, which as my worthy associate says is not a queue) to two queues. It can sit on one until the business decision is made, the other gets processed. What's wrong with that?

Heba_MQ wrote:

Why not read it from a single queue, put a copy in a database for later examination and pass the message to the application that needs it immediately?

And a couple of vendors have mentioned such solutions in this thread.

Triggers?????

I've quoted one above.

DESTCORL on the define sub may be of some use.

Hello,

On z/OS this could be achieved with dumping messages from the original queue to a flat file then reloading to target one. Triggering could be used to automate this.
