Tasks to complete after generating the Message Correlator for WebSphere MQ: request-response with persistence pattern

Tasks that you must complete after you have generated the pattern.

  1. Create the broker archive (BAR) file. Add the generated message flow to your BAR file. In the Broker Archive editor, you must select the Compile and in-line resources option before you build the BAR file. Message sets that are referenced by the flow must also be added.
  2. Configure the broker archive file. Further configuration of the message flow in the broker archive file is not required before you deploy the message flows for your Message Correlator for WebSphere MQ: request-response with persistence pattern instance, but you might want to review some of the default options and configure changes for your environment.
  3. Create queues. When you apply the pattern, a list of WebSphere MQ queues is generated, with queue names and queue manager names, which must be created if they do not already exist. All of the message settings that are required by the pattern are set explicitly on the messages and are not dependent on queue settings.
    1. In the summary file, view the list of queues that you must create. The summary file is located in the Pattern Configuration folder of the InstanceName pattern instance project.
    2. Create WebSphere MQ resources. You can create WebSphere MQ resources either on the command line by using programs and utilities such as runmqsc, or by using the WebSphere MQ Explorer graphical interface. For more information about creating WebSphere MQ resources, see WebSphere MQ Intercommunication, available on the This link opens in a new window WebSphere MQ library web page.
    3. Configure the input and response queues to have backout queues for preservation of messages when errors cause the message flow to be backed out.
  4. Implement your approach for monitoring and correcting errors. This might require monitoring the queue for error messages or monitoring the event log and backout queues.
