Chapter 7: Accessing WebSphere MQ Data

Introduction

e-Biz Impact is Open Transport enabled, which means you can use the transport objects to access data from transport applications supported by Open Transport drivers. The IBM WebSphere MQ (formerly MQSeries) driver for Open Transport maps message properties to and from message descriptor fields. The driver translates message descriptor fields from their native datatypes to a string representation, because a string representation promotes usability by graphical interfaces and command line tools. The driver translates binary message descriptor fields into string-encoded hexadecimal values such as “12ABC...” The driver also converts long message descriptor fields into string encoded long values such as “1000.”

The data header for MQSeries Integrator 1.1 or 2.0.2 includes an MQSeries message descriptor (MQMD). The MQMD structure contains the control information that accompanies the application data when a message travels between the sending and receiving applications. The data in the MQMD is necessary to correctly process a message with MQSeries Integrator.

NoteFor more information about the MQMD and an explanation of the fields in the MQMD, see the IBM Manual MQSeries Application Programming Reference.

You must complete the following two steps to enable e-Biz Impact to access MQSeries data:
