Dear Experts,
I have generated an XML file using MB Compute Node, and the resultant XML file should be transferred to a particular folder in AIX.
In "FileOutput" Node, I have specified(the path) "Directory" field, which is working fine in windows XP, but when I change the path for AIX, file is not stored in the specified path. I gave all permissions for the folder.
and in .profile I exported "MQSI_FILENODES_ROOT_DIRECTORY" also.
Am I missing anything?
Any thoughts... |

You're missing quite a bit, at least in telling us anything that could possibly help.
Where *is* the file written?
What errors are logged? |

Dear Mqjeff,
In AIX server say 'X', which has MB(6.1) installed, has generated an xml file, and I need to transfer this xml file to a particular path say:'/home/sample/' on the same server 'X'. This is not happening.
No errors are generating. The folder 'sample' is still empty.
But when I tested in windows xp, giving windows path say:C:\sample , Xml file is getting stored.

"this is not happening" is not a technical answer to a technical question. This is a technical forum, not a psychic hotline.
When you run the flow on AIX, please specifically mention exactly what does actually happen.
This includes the location where the xml file is actually written, if it is actually written.
This includes any and all messages produced by Broker when it attempts to write the file into whatever location it writes into. |

Surely this can't be a simple as not changing the file path from Windows Format (C:\sample) to Unix (for example /var/tmp/broker_out.xml)?
OR (just as simple)

Did you restart the broker once you did this?

Dear Davies,
In ESQL, the generated XML File, will be transferred directly as:
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.Destination.File.Directory = '/home/sample';
and then I restarted the broker, after deploying this message flow. |

Is the file written somewhere else? Is there an I/O error in the log? Does the broker pull out a joint and tell you, "this just ain't happening, man"?

I've been telling people for years now I'm not psychic I'm psychotic & there a number of key differences.

So, this makes the third time I have asked, and the fourth time in this specific thread you have been asked.
What is produced in the logs when you run the flow on AIX? |

Hi Jeff,
It is my mistake. I should be more clear.

My message flow is like the following:
MQInputNode->compute->FileOutput node,
As I said earlier, in compute node,
I am just setting the target directory to:
SET OutputLocalEnvironment.Destination.File.Directory = '/home/sample';
so, after XML file gets generated, message flow should put the xml file in /home/sample in AIX. |

Take a user trace of the flow.
It is your job to troubleshoot this problem. This means that you need to analyze what is happening. To do that you must gather data on what is happening. |

Dear Jeff,
I took user trace of my message flow. I came to know that Server Admins, have changed the password of our profile. As a result, message flow was not recognizing the db which has been catalogued in our profile.
I reset the dbparms, and it worked fine. XML is generated and is able to put in the specified directory.
Thanks all, for your valuable inputs.  |

The change in password should have caused an event inside your message flow.
This event should have caused a change in the behavior of your message flow, for example the output of an error message somewhere. |

This highlights 2 points:
1) The value of a user trace in resolving WMB problems.
2) The monitoring you have in place to detect issues with your broker sucks like a Dyson. 
(I am not now nor have I ever been an employee of Dyson and this should not be taken as any kind of product endorsement, other cleaners are available and could suit an individual need better)
(But they even look cool.....  )

It doesn't sound like you had anything wired to your MQInput node's Failure or Catch terminals.
If you would have simply wired an MQOutput node to the failure terminal of your MQInput node you could have seen your incoming MQ messages going into that queue.
And an error message should have been going into your system log (ours is /var/adm/syslog.user yours may be configured differently).
At the least those input messages should have ended up in the SYSTEM.DEAD.LETTER.QUEUE of your QM. |

Pedantically and more for the benefit of future readers they would have ended up in whatever local queue had been defined as the dead letter queue for the queue manager.
SYSTEM.DEAD.LETTER.QUEUE is not so defined out of the box.
Like I said, pedantic.
