The command line importer allows you to create a new message set, into which the message definition files will be placed. When you create a new message set from the command line, only the logical information is created by default. However, the command line importer allows you to create a new message set based on an existing message set. The physical format information from the base message set is also created in the new message set. If you want physical format information to be created as well, you must do the following before you invoke the mqsicreatemsgdefs command:
For further details on how to create a message set in the workbench and add physical formats, see Creating a message set.
To import C, COBOL copybooks, XML DTD or XML schema using the command line:
If an error occurs during the import of a C, COBOL copybook, XML DTD, or XML schema file, carefully check any errors that the importer reports. By default, all errors are written to the screen and to the file described above. To gather additional information about the import, specify the -v (Verbose) command line parameter. This parameter displays more detailed information as the import proceeds.
