The following WebSphere MQ Family SupportPacs have been released:

IA0G: WebSphere MQ Integrator - XML transformation node

The IBM XML Transformation node manipulates the data portion of an MQSeries message, if it is in XML (eXtensible Markup Language) format. The Transformation node uses an XSL (eXtensible Stylesheet Language) stylesheet to transform the data portion of the message. The stylesheet, using the rules defined within it, can sort the data, select data elements to include or to exclude based on some criteria and transform the data into some other data format.

ID06:Â WebSphere MQ Integrator - MRM utilities

This SupportPac contains a number of command line utilities that provide useful functions when working with the MRM in WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1. The utilities include a bulk load utility that will load type, element and value definitions into a message set that has been defined within the MRM. Utilities are also provided to list all message sets and messages defined within the MRM and to list certain aspects of the elements and types within a particular message.

ID11:Â WebSphere MQ Integrator for z/OS - Writing New Era of Networks COBOL User Exits

New Era of Networks Rules and Formatter support for WebSphere MQ Integrator for z/OS allows user exits to be defined to customize the actions of the formatter. The exit programs execute under UNIX System Services, and because of this certain programming restrictions apply. The restrictions, which include threading and data access issues, apply in particular to user exits written in COBOL. This SupportPac describes how to develop such user exits in COBOL, and includes a set of sample programs that illustrate the techniques that can be used.

IP68:Â WebSphere MQ Integrator for HP-UX V2.1 - Performance report
IP72:Â WebSphere MQ Integrator for Windows NT and Windows 2000 V2.1 - Performance report

These SupportPacs provide profiles of WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1 performance. The reports detail the results of a variety of throughput measurements using different aspects of the products. The reports also contain a section on capacity planning and details of recommended minimum machine configurations. Finally there is a section containing performance recommendations for use when installing and configuring WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1.

The following WebSphere MQ Family SupportPacs have been updated:

IH01: WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1 - Problem determination

This SupportPac is designed to help users of WebSphere MQ Integrator Version 2.1 work with the system components, with the Control Center, and with message sets and message flows.
