I am trying to use mqsicreatebar, with the -version option, to create bar files that are versioned. As described in SupportPac IC04.
However, this appears to lose all the Promoted Properties. Looking at the Configure tab of the BAR Editor, this is what I see a bar built within the toolkit:
| Code: |
- Commerce.cmf
+ Commerce
+ Subflow1
+ Subflow2 |
Selecting Commerce shows me the Promoted Properties. Selecting the SubFlows gives "No configurable properties in the selected flow".
Now, here's what I get with the bar built by mqsicreatebar:
| Code: |
- Commerce_V1.cmf
Commerce_V1
+ Commerce
+ Subflow1
+ Subflow2 |
Note, the lack of "+" on the Commerce_V1 "flow". Selecting any of the flows gives the "No configurable properties in the selected flow" message.
This is the Message Broker and toolkit, version 5.0, FixPac 4.
Any ideas how I can get versioning and Promoted Properties. 
Cheers,

WBIMB5 doesn't support Promoted Properties.
| Quote: |
| If you had promoted the ESQL property of any of the Version 2.1 nodes that included ESQL customization to reuse ESQL in multiple nodes, this is not maintained in the migrated Version 5.0 message flows because promotion of ESQL related properties is no longer supported. The Tasks view shows an error for each ESQL promoted property. To achieve the same effect, you must create an ESQL function and call that function from each node’s ESQL module. |

Thanks Eddie,
So Then Promoted properties are suppoerted but only the migration of promoted properties is not supported, correct me if I am wrong.

Promoted Node Properties, like Queue Name, DataSource Name, etc., have always been supported.
I'm not sure what promotion of ESQL related properties means though.

In WMQI 2.1 you can promote your ESQL property,i.e. for example, in a Compute node you can promote computeExpression property which will contain your ESQL code. I think this feature is not supporeted in WBIMB 5.0 anymore.

I'm sure that property promotion is supported in WBIMB5 even tried it with success.
I believe there is a problem migrating subflows with property promotion built in WMQI2.1.
Is there a solution to this problem or during migration I should expect making a lot of changes manually?
Best regards,

You should expect to have to make at least some changes when migrating flows.
How many, and whether that is "a lot" depends entirely on your current flows.

First, property promotion is supported with WBIMB v5.0.
Note however, that when you change the name of a message flow, then it's promoted properties are no longer available. For example creating a bar file with mqsicreatebar -version.
It is possible to rename the compiled message flow inside the bar file back to the non-versioned name. You can then access promoted properties.
This implies that the toolkit looks to the message flow in the workspace to determine which proprerties are available to change.

I should have replied to this earlier. Sorry.
After I reported it to IBM, they accepted that it was a problem in the Bar Editor in the Toolkit and provided a fix. Use the "Software Updates" in the Help menu to get it.
Cheers,
