Hello,
I am running Broker Toolkit 7.0.0.4 and am experiencing a couple of problems with it.
My local setup includes the default local Broker/MQ configuration (MB7Broker/MB7QMGR) which is running ok.
My problem is that when I want to deploy a .msgflow from my workspace, I right-click on it, but I get no 'Deploy' option.
I inherited the PC from a previous user, and the toolkit was originally at 7.0.0.2 so I upgraded in the hope this would fix the issue.
I have also uninstalled the toolkit and re-installed from scratch but to no avail.
(I also have an issue in that the syntax checking, even though enabled, doesn't work - it doesn't highlight any syntax errors I make in the ESQL editor. Maybe this is related somehow to my first problem).
Can anyone provide any suggestions as to how I can find my missing 'Deploy' option or regain my Syntax checking?
Thanks. |

Subflows are not deployable. To be a main flow, you have to start with a main input node, like FileInput. Please post your flow sequence.

at least not until you're running v8. |

You seem to lack the requisite training.

While this is correct, you still get a deploy option on the context menu following a right click. It's when you select and EG and press ok you get an error box saying it can't be deployed for the reasons you give.

The OP's talking about the ESQL syntax checking not working, not message valiadation or (more relevantly) auto completion of ESQL statements.

Have you tried a new workspace? Are you sure the project is correctly set up?

I was going on the assumption that the OP was using a subflow Input node rather than a main input node. That's why I asked OP to post the flow sequence.
Vitor says Training !!

And you're quite correct - until v8 such flows fail to deploy.
But they do show a Deploy option in the Context menu.
I have learned to deal with your continued determination to assert that every problem with the product & it's use is the result of a lack of training in much the same way I deal with a dog that backs with a persistent & annoying bark constantly and for no good reason.

Thanks for your replies.
My flow sequence is...
MQInput--->Compute--->MQOutput
(this isn't a subflow) - I get the same problem with all .msgflows I have in my workspace. They are usually checked out from SVN (using the subclipse SVN plugin) into my workspace. Colleagues of mine perform the same tasks and don't experience the same problems (yes, they are more experienced in Broker than me, but they have tried and failed to solve my problem too).
As Vitor suggested, I tried a new workspace but this didn't change what I was seeing.
I will keep plugging away at it and let you know if I resolve the issue. Thanks for your help. |

| You likely do not have write access to the checked out files. |

Is the deploy option even available if there is no broker defined / setup in the toolkit? (where would you want to deploy it to if the broker is not setup?)

Got it! When I was checking projects out of SVN I was checking-out at the trunk level (PROJECT\trunk) within a project. If I check-out at the msgflows level (PROJECT\trunk\src\main\msgflows) then I do get the 'Deploy' option in my context menu.
Doing this picks up project information that populates the 'Builders' in Project Properties. I noticed this was empty when I was checking out at the wrong level. 'Builders' is populated by the .project file stored in SVN in the msgflows folder. (Sorry - being fairly new to this I don't know how much of this is site-specific or standard Broker/SVN behaviour, hopefully someone else will find this useful.)
Thanks all for your time and efforts. (It would be great if anyone had any ideas regarding the lack of syntax checking within my ESQL editor too! - I do have syntax checking enabled in the toolkit - it just doesn't seem to do anything.)
Cheers. |

Exhibiting the vast sweep of my SVN knowledge (!) you should be able to check out at a higher level, get the flows, ESQL & other artifacts and still have a valid project.

How have you enabled syntax checking or leads you to the belief that it is enabled?
Can you post an example of a ESQL statement that's not being flagged?
