Look at UPES in Workflow. UPES is the way for integrating WF with other apps.

| Is it possible to integrate mqseries 3.3.0 with Messagebroker5.0 using UPES or it's only for MQworkflow3.5. If yes can anybody send documents regarding this. |

I dont know if 330 had UPES. If it has UPES you can integrate it WBI MB the easy way.

UPES definitely existed in MQWF V330, but this version is out of support I think, and you would be wise to use V35 or at least V34

yes UPES is there. Is there a way to integrate with MessageBroker using message flow. I know that for ICS mqseries connector is there. If anyone have the docs to integrate MB with adapter framework or in other way it will be very useful to me.
Thanks&Regards,
Madhu . |

Without knowing both the products and without knowing what you want to do it is not easy to work with.
What do you mean integration?
A UPES is nothing but a queue where workflow will put messages to that queue. That message is in XML format and contains some information. What you want to do with that XML message is upto you.
In a message flow that is being executed by WBIMB, you can configure the MQInput node as the UPES queue. What should happen after that.
If you want to configure the workflow connector then the documentation is in
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wbihelp/index.jsp
Go to adapters -> technology -> workflow adapter |

I want to get any message from workflow into any queue so that i can work with my MB task. while creating UPES at queue name field shall we have to give our own local queue or one queue is there EXEXMLINPUTQ.
Shall i give this queue while creating UPES. If you people have any scenario to get messages into MQ queues pl. send me, it will be very helpful to me.
Thanks&Regards

You should take a look at the Programming Guide - XML Interface to get a better picture.

I used a UPES to implement a Workflow activity implementation between Workflow and WBI-MB. Chapter 33 of the workflow programming guide (for version 3.4 or 3.5) describes the XML messages sent out from Workflow to the Broker via MQ.
I found simple workflow FDL that implements a simple UPES, cut and paste this into a text file and import into your buldtime:
/*

When this is deployed to Workflow runtime it will cause a message to put onto the UPES_IN queue for WBI-MB to processs. The WBI-MB flow then needs to send reply back to the EXEXMLINPUTQ on the workflow system. See the chapter I mentioned before for the structure of the messages sent to and from WBI-MB. |
