I have an outstanding issue with having to duplicate message flows in the same broker. The only thing different in the flow is the input and output queue names. All the processing within the code remains the same. Is there an automated fashion whereby this can be accomplished? We currently have a need to routinely create and verify several hundred flows based on just a dozen unique flows.

Why do you need to deploy them to different queues?

What can't you achieve with aliases or remote queue definitions?

As to automatically duplicating a message flow, this could be accomplished in the following way:
  1. Export each of your unique message flows to an xml file
  2. Write a program in some language or another to modify the queue name attributes and the object UUIDs (there have been a couple of messages on this forum that discuss modifying UUIDs - it can be done in a simpliefied manner)
  3. Script the message flow import and assign utilities from IC01 to import and deploy the modified message flow files
However, I don't know that IBM will be very sympathetic if you run into issues using message flows based on modified exported XML.

Another thing to do is to promote the Input Queue and Output queue names as properties, and then treat each of your unique message flows as a subflow, and create a new message flow containing just that subflow and set the properties. This is manual, but relatively quick.

A variation on Jeff's last suggestion would be to create a Subflow containing everything except the Input and Output nodes. Then build the flows you need, each of these with the required Queue names, pulling in the Subflow. But, again, that is manual and tedious.

Cheers,
