I assume you are talking about the supportpac nodes?
I think your best bet is to contact the authors directly.

You can also use command mqsimigratemsgflows to migrate your plug-in nodes definition files (.xml) to WBIMB 5.0.

So 2.1 nodes are fully compatible/migratable to 5.0?

Yes, they are! The only change I saw was with the terminal names. in V5.0 you cannot have SPACES in terminal names. I had to rename one of the the terminal name (no message) after importing MQGET plug-in node.

Has anyone had success migrating the sendmail node (from a supportpac)?
I have not tried, but a colleague has concluded it is not supported.
Thanks,
Vicky |

Hi,
How do we use mqsimigratemsgflows to migrate the plugin nodes, it requires .xml file, but the plugins does not have xml file. Is there any straight way for this, like we have in WMQI2.1. I want to use on of the plugin nodes first time in WBIMB5.0, I dont want to migrate it from WMQI2.1.
Thanks,
Chandra. |

I successfully migrated SendMail plug-in node to WBIMB 5.0. My config mgr and Broker started up correctly without any problem. I did not try to deploy any message flow containing this plug-in node though.

Plug-in node configuration files are xml files. Let's say if you want to migrate/import SendMail plug-in node then copy SendMailPlugIn file into some directory <plug-in_dir> on your system and then run [b]mqsimigratemsgflows -p <project_name> -d <plug-in_dir>[b] command, which will define the plug-in node for you.

kirani,
Would you deploy a flow, test the sendmail node, and let us know the results. We have been able to use the mqsimigratemsgflows executable to bring a number of category 2 nodes into the toolkit, but have run into problems on our Solaris 5.0.2 brokers (not recognizing the run-time components). Thanks ! |

We got the following info from the developer of the SendMail support pack (via IBM support) as while ago:
| Quote: |
the currently available support pack is not supported on WBI MB 5.x
He is however working on an update that should work with WBI MB 5.x
Unfortunately we will have to wait for the update to become available |
I don't know why this particular plug-in node is not compatible, but this is a node we use quite a lot now so we won't be upgrading to v5 until an update is available (or we have the resource to write our own version). Unless anyone has it working?!
Cheers,
Vicky |

Hi,
I created a SendMail plugin node in Java.
I use the javaMail API and also use JNDI to lookup addresses in an LDAP directory (Active Directory in our case) from an XML element provided in a message...
If anybody is interested in getting the code, contact me.
I will have to clean it a bit and document it. It is not very generic but could rapidly be used as a starting point to develop you own mail node.

kirani,
Just wanted to follow-up to see if you were able to successfully deploy/test a v5.0 message flow that contained the sendmail plugin (migrated from v2.1 using the mqsimigratemsgfows command)? Would you please keep us posted as to your results. Thanks !

Finally, I got some free time to test this! But, I am having trouble in adding this plug-in node to the message flows.
I first migrated SendMailPlugIn node to V5 and added it to my 'palette'. When adding this node to my message flow, I am getting following error:
| Quote: |
BIP0898E: Can not add subflow 'SendMailPlugIn.msgnode'
Reason:
The reference to file 'SendMailPlugIn.msgnode' is ambiguous.
A file with the same name may exist in the same schema in a referenced project.
Rename one of the files and try the operation.
|
[I can't even copy the text from error dialog box.  ]
I did a search on my <workspace> directory, but I didn't find any duplicate instances of SendMailPlugIn.msgnode file. I'm also not referencing to any external project with the same file.
Any idea how to resolve this?
BTW, I followed the same steps to add MQGet plug-in node to my workspace and I can add it to my message flows without any problem.
