Hello All,

I'm having the following issue while specifying the "ReplytoQueue" and "ReplytoQMgr" on "Q", i was able to specify the ApplIdentity but not the other 2, i'm using the following command, can you please give me some lights on what i'm doing wrong? According to the help command i'm using the right tags to do it i'm not understanding why it's not working.

Basicaly i want to send out a message from a file with "ReplytoQueue", "ApplIdentity" and "ReplytoQMgr" on "Q":

/apps/mqm/admin/current/outils/bin/q -m QUEUEMANAGER -o TARGETQUEUE -E REPLYTOQUEUE REPLYTOQMGR -AiAPPLIDENTITY -CI -F /PATH/TO/FILE

Regards
Bernardo

What symptoms are you seeing? Is there an error of some kind?

"...it's not working..." is not sufficient information for us to help.

Hello,

Yes sorry was a good point "not working" is in fact not valid.

"MQSeries Q Program by Paul Clarke [ V4.5 Build:Sep 25 2006 ]
(c) Copyright IBM Corp. 1995, 2006

Usage: Q <Optional flags as below>
[-a[dnpqRrst] Message attributes
p:Persistent,n:Non-Persisent,q:Persistence as Q,s:Allow Segmentation
d:Datagram,R:Request,r:Reply,t:Report
[-A[i|o]<value> Application Identity|Origin Data
(c) [-b Browse input Q (DEP:use i rather than I]"

Basicaly shows this, so one of the flags is not compliant.

Thank you in advance.

Regards
Bernardo

I am sure Paul Clarke will appear once darkness falls and comment, but...

-E does not do what you think it does.

Try using -r REPLYQUEUENAME

Hello,

Thank you for the quick reply.

So using your tip i was now able to populate the field ReplytoQ:

/apps/mqm/admin/current/outils/bin/q -m QUEUEMANAGER -o TARGETQUEUE -r REPLYTOQ -AiAPPLIDENTITY -CI -F /PATH/TO/FILE

The only thing missing now is... "ReplyToQMgr", according to the tags:

" [-e Echo to Reply Queue]
[-E Echo to Reply Queue and set Reply QMgr]
"

The -E does not seem to work at least the way i'm using it:

/apps/mqm/admin/current/outils/bin/q -m QUEUEMANAGER -o TARGETQUEUE -r REPLYTOQ -EREPLYOQMGR -AiAPPLIDENTITY -CI -F /PATH/TO/FILE

Regards
Bernardo

Like I said, you have misinterpreted what -E does. Remove that option

MQMD.ReplytoQMGR is generally populated automatically as the QM putting the message - have you looked at the generated message's MQMD on the queue?

What matters is that the message on the queue is correct.

Hello,

So to explain this more deeply, i have removed the -E option and it populates with the origin queue manager name, the problem is, this message passes throught some HUB's, so the replytoQMgr is not the same (in terms of name) as the server that sent the mesage originaly, thats why it cannot remain the same name.

Thats why i wanted to specify the reply to QMgr.

Regards
Bernardo

No, the problem is you don't have enough queue manager aliases in your topology. The reason the field defaults to the originating queue manager is that in 99.9% of all cases that's where you want the reply to go to.

It seems that's true for you, you just don't have enough plumbing for the message to find it's own way.

And if you're sending the request and not the reply use -R instead of -r ...

Hello,

The option -r is the correct, i have validate and it populates correcly the field "ReplyToQueue".

I went further on my research and found out something interesting, the issue right now is with the ApplIdentity, the destination is waiting for a string and a extra space on the final, how can i send 'THISSTRING ' instead of 'THISSTRING' using this command? Anyone have an idea on how to do it?

/apps/mqm/admin/current/outils/bin/q -m QUEUEMANAGER -o TARGETQUEUE -r REPLYTOQ -AiAPPLIDENTITY -CI -F /PATH/TO/FILE

I tested with "'-AiAPPLIDENTITY '" but still not working, the extra space is not added.

Regards
Bernardo

Q allows queue names to be specify in two parts in a single parameter.....for example
Code:
q -o TARGETQM/TARGETQ

This tells queue to put to queue TARGETQ on Queue Manager TARGETQM. The Queue Manager piece is, of course, optional.
You can do the same thing with the reply queue so

Code:
q -oMYTARGET -rREPLYQM/REPLYQ

Will allow you to fill both the reply queue and reply queue manager accordingly.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Paul

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your quick reply.

It solved my issue placing the "ReplytoQMGR" and "ReplytoQ".

I have now another uncommon, the destination to where i'm trying to send the message created for some unknown reason the ApplIdentity to indentify us with a space after, so instead of beign 'STRING' is 'STRING ' (with the extra space added on the final), do i have any way to add that space using Q?

Thank you Paul!

Regards
Bernardo

I am surprised you have managed to set the field to 'STRING'. My understanding was that the Identity fields were blank padded to the length of the field anyway. All the MQMD fields are of fixed length. The ApplIdentityData field is 32 characters. I would have expected whatever value you specify using -Ai to be padded with enough blanks to make it up to 32 characters.

Cheers,
Paul.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your help.

On my side the situation was solved, the destination was identifying my messages using the content of the header, and only accepted if a valid header was there. If this helps someone this is the way you can send a file message to a queue using "Q" to add to the header the following information:

- Reply to QMGR / Queue
- AppIdentity
- User Identifier

/apps/mqm/admin/current/outils/bin/q -m SOURCEMQGR -o SOURCEQUEUE -rREPLYTOQMGR/REPLYTOQUEUE -AiAPPIDENTITY -U USERID -CI -F /PATH/TO/FILE

Thank you again Paul, zpat and Vitor.

Regards
Bernardo
