You can also use a Java external procedure if you are using FP4 of 5.0.
A custom plug-in is likely going to be less complicated than using the JText adapter.

Are there examples/documentation on writing a Custom Plug In Node to do something like this?
Thanks! |

There are support packs that contain source code to custom plug-ins.
There's a PDF that describes how to write custom plug-ins.
I think someone has previously posted some sample code.
But code is only half the problem with plug-ins. The other half is registering with the Tooling.
You may simply be better off putting messages to a queue and using a stand-alone program to create the file.

| That's what I have done Jeff. I have a program that creates a text file from reading a queue. |

VB.Net....
For converting to straight text files I modified the WBIM samples located at c:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Tools\dotnet\samples\VB to do this. These samples were installed with the control center.
For converting to XML files you could use the samples as a shell for reading the queue and then use the built-in .Net XMLStream or TextStream writer classes....
There is a .Net class library for reading/writing to queues. The sample files use this library.

Actually, you could. As part of a general logging scheme in our test environoment, I use the BITSREAM function to generate a string representation of the message I'm about to put on a queue, so I have a record of evry message that left a particular flow. Only draw-back is that the file-name is hard-coded and not dynamic.

Because you can only specify a single, fixed file name for the tracenode, you can't specify a dynamic file name.
Because the tracenode keeps the file open once it has started running, and so other things can't move or rename the file, only copy the contents.
Because the trace output format is probably not what the receiver of the file wants.
Etc. Etc. Etc.

The program would be best written in Klingon. |
