I am converting a Java client code to C#. I am getting a MQRC_NOT_CONVERTED error when doing a Get on a MQQueue on a reply message.
The java code is working perfectly. The application sends a message to the queue and receives a reply message in another queue. What are some things I need to be aware of when sending and getting the messages through C#. I read something about encoding and charaterSet, and format. I have noticed that C# MQMessage messages have a encoding of 546 and a CharaterSet of 1200 vs encoding 273 and CharaterSet 819 for the Java MQMessage. Does any conversion have to be done and where? I only have access to the code putting the message in the queue and getting the response so any conversion has to be done, i can only do on my end.
Here is a little code snippet that puts the message in the queue.
| Code: |
public MQMessage put(MqTran msg)
{
// create a new message object
MQMessage writeMsg = new MQMessage();
// set the MQMD values
writeMsg.Report =
MQC.MQRO_EXCEPTION_WITH_DATA |
MQC.MQRO_NEW_MSG_ID |
MQC.MQRO_COPY_MSG_ID_TO_CORREL_ID;
writeMsg.UserId = racfId;
writeMsg.MessageType = MQC.MQMT_REQUEST;
writeMsg.Format = "MQIMS";
writeMsg.Priority = MQC.MQPRI_PRIORITY_AS_Q_DEF;
writeMsg.Persistence = MQC.MQPER_NOT_PERSISTENT;
if (mSecondExpiry == 0)
{
writeMsg.Expiry = MQC.MQEI_UNLIMITED;
}
else
{
writeMsg.Expiry = mSecondExpiry;
}
if (replyQName.Length > 0)
{
writeMsg.ReplyToQueueName = replyQName;
}
writeMsg.ReplyToQueueManagerName = qMgr.Name;
// Build an IMS information header
MqIih iih = new MqIih();
iih.format = "MQIMSVS";
iih.ltermOverride = " ";
iih.mfsMapName = " ";
iih.replyToFormat = "MQIMSVS";
iih.commitMode = '1';
iih.securityScope = 'C';
iih.encoding = 0;
iih.codedCharSetId = 0;
try
{
// place the IIH into the write message buffer
iih.write(writeMsg);
// insert the transaction data
msg.write(writeMsg);
}
catch (IOException ioe)
{
}
// set up the put msg options
MQPutMessageOptions pmo = new MQPutMessageOptions();
pmo.Options =
MQC.MQPMO_NO_SYNCPOINT |
MQC.MQPMO_SET_IDENTITY_CONTEXT ;
// put the message
Q.Put(writeMsg, pmo);
return writeMsg;
}
}
|
Here is a little code snippet of getting the reply message from the queue.
| Code: |
// Create an object to hold reply msg
MQMessage replyMsg = new MQMessage();
replyMsg.ResizeBuffer(30000);
// Set up the get msg options
MQGetMessageOptions gmo = new MQGetMessageOptions();
if (correlationId != null)
{
replyMsg.CorrelationId = correlationId;
}
gmo.Options =
MQC.MQGMO_NO_SYNCPOINT |
MQC.MQGMO_WAIT |
MQC.MQGMO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING |
MQC.MQGMO_CONVERT |
MQC.MQGMO_ACCEPT_TRUNCATED_MSG; ;
gmo.WaitInterval = mSecondTimeout;
// Get the message
Q.Get(replyMsg, gmo);
|
Here is the MqIih class:
| Code: |
class MqIih
{
/** Length of an IIH */
public static int MQ_IIH_LENGTH = 84;
static int MQ_TRAN_INSTANCE_ID_LENGTH = 16;
// instance variables
String strucId = "IIH ";
int version = 1;
int strucLength = MQ_IIH_LENGTH;
public int encoding = MQC.MQENC_NATIVE;
public int codedCharSetId = MQC.MQCCSI_Q_MGR;
public String format = MQC.MQFMT_NONE;
int flags = 0;
public String ltermOverride = "";
public String mfsMapName = "";
public String replyToFormat = "";
String authenticator = "";
public byte[] tranInstanceId = new byte[MQ_TRAN_INSTANCE_ID_LENGTH];
public char tranState = ' ';
public char commitMode = '0';
public char securityScope = 'C';
public char reserved = ' ';
/**
* Create a IIH object.
*/
public MqIih()
{
}
public static MqIih read(MQMessage msg)
{
MqIih iih = new MqIih();
int startPos = msg.MessageLength - msg.DataLength;
msg.Seek(0);
iih.strucId = msg.ReadString(4);
iih.version = msg.ReadInt();
iih.strucLength = msg.ReadInt();
iih.encoding = msg.ReadInt();
iih.codedCharSetId = msg.ReadInt();
iih.format = msg.ReadString(8);
iih.flags = msg.ReadInt();
iih.ltermOverride = msg.ReadString(8);
iih.mfsMapName = msg.ReadString(8);
iih.replyToFormat = msg.ReadString(8);
iih.authenticator = msg.ReadString(8);
try
{
for (int i = 0; i < MqIih.MQ_TRAN_INSTANCE_ID_LENGTH; i++)
{
iih.tranInstanceId[i] = (byte)msg.ReadUnsignedByte();
}
iih.tranState = (char) msg.ReadUnsignedByte();
iih.commitMode = (char) msg.ReadUnsignedByte();
iih.securityScope = (char) msg.ReadUnsignedByte();
iih.reserved = (char) msg.ReadUnsignedByte();
msg.Seek(startPos);
}
catch (EndOfStreamException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("EOF Exception occurred:" + " message= " + ex.Message);
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
return iih;
}
public void write(MQMessage msg)
{
msg.WriteString(ToolBox.padString(strucId, 4));
msg.WriteInt(version);
msg.WriteInt(strucLength);
msg.WriteInt(encoding);
msg.WriteInt(codedCharSetId);
msg.WriteString(ToolBox.padString(format, 8));
msg.WriteInt(flags);
msg.WriteString(ToolBox.padString(ltermOverride, 8));
msg.WriteString(ToolBox.padString(mfsMapName, 8));
msg.WriteString(ToolBox.padString(replyToFormat, 8));
msg.WriteString(ToolBox.padString(authenticator, 8));
for (int i=0; i < MqIih.MQ_TRAN_INSTANCE_ID_LENGTH; i++)
{
if (i < tranInstanceId.Length)
msg.WriteByte(tranInstanceId[i]);
else
msg.WriteByte(0);
}
msg.WriteByte((byte) tranState);
msg.WriteByte((byte) commitMode);
msg.WriteByte((byte) securityScope);
msg.WriteByte((byte) reserved);
}
|
This code works fine Java, but I get that exception MQRC_NOT_CONVERTED during the Q.Get(replyMsg, gmo); in C#. What could be the problem? |

MQ headers such as the MQIIH headers have fixed size character fields; they work best with single byte characters. 1200 (UTF-16) is a multi-byte encoding. Since 819 (ISO 8859-1) is known to work, that's a good choice. 1208 (UTF-8) is also popular, as long as the character data in the MQ headers uses only ASCII characters. Modify the MQMessage.characterSet property as needed. |

I have noticed that messages and their CCSIDs and encodings are not a function of the programming language chosen.

| Both Java and .NET use Unicode as their base character set for string values. |

I have tried changing the characterSet property to both of those values, but I am still getting that error message. What could the problem be? |

Encoding, character set and format fields in the MQMD describe attributes of the application data component of your message. Merely changing these fields in the MQMD does not change the application data itself.

So where does the conversion have to be done? In my code, when I do a Put and a Get in the queues, how do I specify or convert the data? The queue manager is on a SunOS Unix system. The client is Windows. Any help will be appreciated. |

Conversion is always done on GET.
You need to change the ccsid on the message object BEFORE you write to it. |

How do I change the CCSID on the MQMessage object, that object doesn't have any methods to change that? |

I have done replyMsg.CharacterSet = 819; before the Get, but I am still getting the error message MQRC_NOT_CONVERTED on the Get. I looked at the debugger and the MQMessage CharacterSet = 1200 after the Get call is ran. Why is it getting changed?[/list] |

| Set it before you write into the message before you do the PUT. |

Ok I have done writeMsg.CharacterSet = 819; before the Put happens. Now I am getting MQRC_FORMAT_ERROR on the GET. Also, the MQMessage replyMsg CharacterSet = 500 after the Get call is ran now. Its still not 819, why is that? |

Did you look in the queue to verify that the message ccsid was 819?
| ranjha100 wrote: |

The GET is for the reply message, yes? Did you look up MQRC_FORMAT_ERROR? What does it mean?

The replying app sets the ccsid of the reply messsage, just like the requesting app sets the ccsid of the request message.

Yes after the Put call is complete the writeMsg CharacterSet = 819. So thats fine.

Yes, The GET is for the reply message. I have looked at the MQRC_FORMAT_ERROR error and it means that "message cannot be converted successfully due to an error associated with the message format".
| Code: |
// Create an object to hold reply msg
MQMessage replyMsg = new MQMessage();
replyMsg.ResizeBuffer(30000);
// Set up the get msg options
MQGetMessageOptions gmo = new MQGetMessageOptions();
if (correlationId != null)
{
replyMsg.CorrelationId = correlationId;
}
gmo.Options =
MQC.MQGMO_NO_SYNCPOINT |
MQC.MQGMO_WAIT |
MQC.MQGMO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING |
MQC.MQGMO_CONVERT |
MQC.MQGMO_ACCEPT_TRUNCATED_MSG; ;
gmo.WaitInterval = mSecondTimeout;
// Get the message
Q.Get(replyMsg, gmo);
|
Where could the problem be? |
