Tasks to complete before applying the
Service Facade to WebSphere MQ: request-response pattern
Before applying the pattern to produce a pattern instance, you must determine
which of the following tasks are required. If required, complete the following tasks:
Identify that this pattern meets your business requirement and can be supported
by both the requester and provider applications.
Define, or identify the provider interface and associated service interface.
Name the pattern instance. Identify the purpose of the pattern application so that you can
decide on an appropriate name.
Select WebSphere MQ queues and queue managers. Existing queue managers and queues can be
used, for example, to access the provider application, and you must choose their names.
Identify any additional queue managers and queues that are required for this pattern and
decide upon their names. Take into account any policies, standards, or
naming conventions that must apply.
Decide whether you require logging. If logging is required, you must decide to which queue
manager and queue the logging messages are sent. You can send logging messages
to a general log queue that is used by multiple message flows, or you can use
a queue specifically for the pattern instance.
