Venu,
You could either export a message flow using control center or use SupportPac IC01. You can download the supportpac from http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/txppacs/ic01.html url.

Kiran,
I know we can export the message flow but how we can control the versions between testing and dev boxes. If i do the export the export file where exactly that file will get stored and how testing guys can import it.
If i check out some message flow in dev box and if i export the workspace does checked out message will get exported or not.
Please explain to me in detail how i can control the versions and also explain to me how i can handle errors with you experience, you must have done lot work in this area try to help me out with error handling too.
Thanks,
venu. |

venu,
If you goto File->Preferences dialog box and then click on Control Center->Inport and Export, You will see a field by name Default Directory. This is where your exported Message Flows will be stored.
Once you export the message flow, just copy the exported xml file on QA box. Now select File->Import to Workspace in Control Center, select the Message flow you want to import and select ok. This will import the message flow into QA config mgr, don't forget to check-in your message flow after importing it.

Yes, checked-out message flow will be exported. But the exported copy will not be from your local workspace, it will be exported from the Configuration manager. This copy will not have any changes that you might have done to your message flow after last check-out.
Pl refer to following thread on how to maintain different versions of the message flow.
http://www.mqseries.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5225&highlight=clearcase
Supportpac IC04 - MQSeries Integrator V2 - Change Management and naming standards examples will be of great help to you.
Most of these topics (Error handling and versioning) were discussed in this forum, pl do a seach in this forum to find appropriate threads.

Kiran,
My message flow is not making any difference with respect to reset content descriptor node, means if i remove the RCD and run the flow i am seeing the same format in rfhutil.exe, if i include RCD i am seeing the same foramt in rfhutil.exe. How i can send the text message to the mqseries queue with RCD bcos my application guys saying they are getting the byte message when they try to access using their listner which is written with JMS and java. This is all i can do to send a test a message to the queue or is there some thing i am missing to send a message.
What could be message format in queue if i use RCD in flow and if i don't use it.
Throw me some light on this issue.
Thanks,
venu. |

Venu,
Since you are sending Message to JMS application, your output message should have MQRFH2 header in it. This header carries JMS-Specific information.
If you do a search on MQRFH2 in this forum you will find some sample ESQL code to output MQRFH2 header in output message.
