Re: Sending a PDF file as MQ payload
Thanks to all who replied. I was relatively sure it was not a problem, but all of your tips on the format field of the MQMD header, and keeping the file size under control helped me help the developers side step a few land mines. thanks again to all Bill Anderson SITA Atlanta, GA Standard Messaging Engineering WebSphere MQ Service Owner 770-303-3503 (office) 404-915-3190 (cell) This e-mail contains information which is SITA - Company Confidential All sita.int addresses have changed to sita.aero [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mconnect.aero/ Instructions for managing your mailing list subscription are provided in the Listserv General Users Guide available at http://www.lsoft.com Archive: http://vm.akh-wien.ac.at/MQSeries.archive
Re: Sending a PDF file as MQ payload
MQ doesn't care. Data is data. As long as you don't try and send it with md.format=MQFMT_STRING and turn conversion on, you'll be fine. tonyB. -Original Message- From: MQSeries List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Anderson Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 12:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sending a PDF file as MQ payload Our development team asked me if it was possible to send a PDF document as an MQ message.

Re: Sending a PDF file as MQ payload
No reason you can't but the following may/do apply. Use MQFMT_NONE to send the file in binary format. From a previous discusssion consider using the MQRFH2 header to deliver meta-data. Do NOT use MQGMO_CONVERT. Watch out for maximum message length MAXMSGL on Q, QMGR and channel definitions including the various transmit queues. If the files are going to consistently be big(1Mb) you might want to set up a separate set of channels so you don't interfere with high volume small message response times.

Re: Sending a PDF file as MQ payload
We do it, and do it a lot. Your MD's format must be set to NONE. If the messages can exceed 4M, make sure that the queue definition, xmit queue and channels all can handle it. Consider sending the big messages via their own channel, so as not to interfere with more normally sized traffic. Or, consider setting a low priority of these messages so as to send them to the back of the line.

Re: Sending a PDF file as MQ payload
Hello Bill, Basically, use MQFMT_NONE in a message format field to avoid character conversions and maybe other smart moves of the beast.. Also, make sure your documents are less than 4 Mb; otherwise, use application-level segmentation or you will have to make sure some set of conditions is met -- to me, it seems easier to break the documents up.. Hope this will help, Pavel Bill Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TA.AERO cc: Sent by: MQSeriesSubject: Sending a PDF file as MQ payload List [EMAIL PROTECTED] n.AC.AT 11/22/2004 03:09 PM Please respond to MQSeries List Our development team asked me if it was possible to send a PDF document as an MQ message.
