DOCUMENTATION CHANGES
---------------------
IC37497 - BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXCEPTION HANDLING WITH
AGGREGATION NODES USING MQAS THE TRANSPORT.
If you connect the catch terminal of the AggregateReply node, and want
to output the message propagated through this terminal to a destination
from which it can be retrieved for later processing, you must include a
Compute node in the catch flow to provide any transport-specific
processing. For example, you must add an MQMD header if you want to put
the message to a WebSphere MQ queue from an MQOutput node.
The ESQL example below shows you how you can add an MQMD header and
pass on the replies received by the AggregateReply node:
-- Add MQMD
SET OutputRoot.MQMD.Version = 2;
.
-- Include consolidated replies in the output message
SET OutputRoot.XML.Data.Parsed = InputRoot.ComIbmAggregateReplyBody;
.
If you want to propagate the information about the exception in the
output message, you must also set the Compute mode property of the
Compute node to a value that includes Exception.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
IC36010 - DOCUMENT USE OF CLEARMESSAGE FOR JAVA PLUGIN NODES
Use of the Java plug-in method clearMessage is not documented. Not
using this method can lead to growth in memory usage by the broker.
The WebSphere MQ Integrator Programming Guide, SC34-5603-03, Chapter
6; Implementing a plug-in node or parser, section; Implementing a
node in Java, subsection; Building an output message, will have a
new subsection entitled Propagating the message as follows:
Propagating the message
Before you propagate a message, you have to decide what message flow
data you want to propagate, and which of the node's terminals is to
receive the data. You should finalize the message before you
propagate it. After propagating a message, you must delete the output
message. For example:
1. To propagate the message to the output terminal "out":
MbOutputTerminal out = getOutputTerminal("out");
out.propagate(outAssembly);
2. To delete the output message:
outMessage.clearMessage();
Any other messages created during the processing of the node should
also be deleted in a similar manner.

PQ67615 - CNIELEMENTCHARACTERVALUE/CPIELEMENTCHARACTERVALUE CAUSING 0C4
When using either cpiElementCharacterValue or cniElementCharacterValue
using an incorrect value in the length value can result in 0C4 abends
or in overwrites of user storage. The Programming Guide specifies
that the length parameter of these calls should have units of bytes.
This is incorrect; the length should be provided in units of CciChar.
The Programming Guide (SC34-5603-03) will be changed in Chapters 8
and 9 so that the following functions are now documented as taking
CciChar as the unit for the length parameter:
cniElementCharacterValue
cniElementDecimalValue
cniElementName
cpiElementCharacterValue
cpiElementDecimalValue
cpiElementName

PQ72256 - BUILDING A C++ USER EXIT LIBRARY, CUSTOMER MUST USE THE
CBCDRVR COMPILER (VERSIONS 2.8 - 2.10) ONLY
The New Era of Networks Rules and Formatter Support for WebSphere MQ
Integrator System Management Guide Version 5.6, SC34-6083-00,
Chapter 5, p.134, section entitled Building a C++ User Exit Library
should be added to as follows:-
The CBCDRVR compiler, versions 2.8 - 2.10, must be used.
When using compilers later than version 2.10 (aka V1R1), up to and
including V1R4 the V2R10 CBCDRVR shipped with their compiler for
backward compatibility can be used. (See C/C++ Compiler and Run-Time
Migration Guide for details relating to compilers post V2R10.)
Generally, setting the _CXX_CNAME environment variable and including
the SCBCCMP library, your STEPLIB will pick up the CBCDRVR compiler.
For example, set the following in your USS users profile :-
export _CXX_CNAME="CBCDRVR"
STEPLIB=$STEPLIB:PP.CBC.ZOS120.SCBCCMP

IC36384 - IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NNSY REPEATING ATTRIBUTE TO FLAG
REPEATING FORMATS IN ESQL.
Implementation of the NNSY repeating attribute to flag repeating
formats in ESQL is available but was not documented in WebSphere
MQ Integrator Working with Messages Version 2.1.
The following section, which includes the description of the NNSY
repeating attribute, should have appeared in the WebSphere MQ
Integrator Working with Messages Version 2.1, Chapter 12.
The New Era of Networks domains. The section entitled:
'Transforming from XML and MRM to NEONMSG' should be entirely
replaced and re-titled:
Processing messages in the NEONMSG domain
-----------------------------------------
You can use the facilities provided by the message processing nodes
and the brokers to transform an input MRM or XML message to an output
NEONMSG message or to manipulate a message in the NEONMSG domain.
However, you must be aware that the NEONMSG parser does not recognize
repeating fields in these messages, unless you explicitly flag their
containing structure (format) as repeating: if the input message
includes repeating fields, and you do not flag them as such, the
output message generated will not accurately reflect the input.
The only node that can determine your input message repeat structure
by direct reference to the NNSY Formatter database is the MQInput
node on the initial parse of a message in the NEONMSG domain. This
is because the functionality provided in a message flow means you can
potentially deviate from message structure encoded in the Formatter
database.
In circumstances where you need to manipulate a message in the NEONMSG
domain or transform your message to this domain, in WMQI 2.1.0, you
can manually edit the message to insert the attribute
NNSY-XML-repeating="true" to each repeating collection.
(In MQSI 2.0.2 you must use NEON-XML-repeating="true".)
For example, an input message might contain:
IBM
1234-L
Large Widget
1234-M
Medium Widget
1234-S
Small Widget
This must be manually edited to contain:
IBM
1234-L
Large Widget
1234-M
Medium Widget
1234-S
Small Widget
An example of the ESQL needed might be:
SET "OutputRoot"."Properties"."MessageSet" = 'NEONMESSAGESET';
SET "OutputRoot"."Properties"."MessageType" = 'PurchaseOrder_MT';
SET "OutputRoot"."MQMD" = "InputRoot"."MQMD";
SET "OutputRoot"."MQMD"."Format" = 'MQSTR';
DECLARE K INT;
DECLARE N INT;
SET "OutputRoot"."NEONMSG"."PurchaseOrder_OC"."CustomerName_OF".
"CustomerName"="InputRoot"."XML"."PurchaseOrder"."CustomerName";
SET K = CARDINALITY,("InputRoot"."XML"."PurchaseOrder"."OrderDetail"[]);
SET N = 0;
WHILE N < K DO
SET N=N+1;
SET "OutputRoot"."NEONMSG"."PurchaseOrder_OC". "OrderDetail_OC"[N].
"NNSY-XML-repeating" = 'true';
SET "OutputRoot"."NEONMSG"."PurchaseOrder_OC"."OrderDetail_OC"[N].
"OrderDetail_OF"."PartNum"="InputRoot"."XML"."PurchaseOrder".
"OrderDetail"[N]."PartNum";
SET "OutputRoot"."NEONMSG"."PurchaseOrder_OC"."OrderDetail_OC"[N].
"OrderDetail_OF"."PartDesc"="InputRoot"."XML"."PurchaseOrder".
"OrderDetail"[N]."PartDesc";
END WHILE;
An example of corresponding NNSY Output Formats:
Format/PurchaseOrder_MT/Ordinal
|
Format/PurchaseOrder_OC/Ordinal
|
Format/CustomerName_OF
| |
| Field/CustomerName/1/Normal Access/CustomerName
| |
| - Output Control/CustomerName/Data Field(Name Search)
| |
| - Data/String
|
Format/OrderDetail_OC/Ordinal/Repeating/3
|
Format/OrderDetail_OF
|
Field/PartNum/1/Controlling Field/PartNum
| |
| - Output Control/PartNum/Data Field(Name Search)
| |
| - Data/String
|
Field/PartDesc/2/Access Sibling Instance/PartDesc
|
- Output Control/PartDesc/Data Field(Name Search)
|
- Data/String
Note: In the last example the tree structure of the formats must be
adjusted, regardless of business logic, by comparison to the input
message, because formats that contain formats themselves (Compound
formats) cannot contain both field references and format references
in the NNSY data model.
Note: The use of the repeating flag is pertinent, not only to cases
where you are transforming from an XML or MRM domain but also if you
intend to manipulate the NEONMSG tree (even though you may not have
explicitly left the NEONMSG domain). For example, if you process
your message through a Compute Node, the tree will again have to have
the repeating attribute flagged for all instances of repeats.

IC35011 - IMPROVE DOCUMENTATION REGARDING NULL HANDLING
The documentation regarding how WebSphere MQ Integrator handles NULL
processing will be be updated to more clearly outline and explain the
process as follows :-
1. Websphere MQ Integrator Working With Messages, SC34-6039-01,
Chapter 4, The MRM logical message model; Section, The broker's view
of the logical message model; Sub-Section, Using ESQL to manipulate
the message tree; Null Handling will have the following information
added at the start of the section :-
Parser overview with Null Handing
---------------------------------
In a WMQI message flow, there are the concepts of a message bitstream
and a logical message tree. The logical message tree shields the user
from the physical bitstream by providing fields that can be
manipulated without having to consider the exact sequence of bytes.
In WMQI parsers are used to convert a message bitstream into a message
tree and vice versa. Each parser uses its own 'algorithms' to dissect
the bitstream and then create the appropriately named fields in the
message tree giving them the relevant field types and field values.
For the XML parser these algorithms involve identifying XML markup
language and then using these to separate this into the correct XML
objects. The MRM parser has different ways of parsing a bitstream
and these are represented by the physical layers in a messageSet.
For CWF, this involves reading a set sequence of bytes and translating
these into the fields value in the message tree. For TDS, the parser
uses the Data Element Separation method to parse the bitstream.
Depending on what has been set this could involve identifying
delimiters, tags, fixed length elements or patterns etc.
The parsers are also responsible for writing a new message bitstream
based on the values in the message tree. This will occur when a
bitstream representation is required, such as in the MQOutput node or
when calling the ESQL ASBITSTREAM function.
Parsing and writing can be mutually independent operations such that
they both do not have to be performed in a message flow. On this
basis, it is possible for users to manually create new message trees
in a compute node and then the parsers will attempt to create a
bitstream from this message tree. It is also very common that the
parsers will receive bitstreams that they did not create and have to
attempt to create a message tree from them.
The ESQL SET and CREATE statements can be used to populate a message
tree field with a Name, Type and Value. It is therefore possible that
the Value assigned to the message tree can be the result of an
expression that evaluates to a NULL. This can be caused by the use of
an uninitialised variable, a message tree field that does not exist,
the result of a database query or use of the NULL keyword directly.
When dealing with a message tree, there are two types of NULL :
- Implicit : A message tree field does not exist and so implicitly
has a NULL value.
- Explicit : A message tree field actually contains a NULL value
through the use of the SET with VALUE keyword or
similar ESQL.
When a message tree field has an explicit NULL value then this will be
interpreted in different ways depending on the owning parser of the
message tree field, the operations performed by the parser and the
ESQL operations performed on the message tree field.
Not all of the WMQI parsers have 'NULL handling' capabilities, but for
those that do the following is possible :
- A sequence of bytes can be identified in the message bitstream that
will cause a NULL value to be created in the related message tree
field.
- An explicit NULL value can be accepted in the message tree and this
will result in a set sequence of bytes to be written into the
message bitstream.
When explicit NULL handling is considered as part of these parser
operations then :
- NULL is not a consistent concept.
- In WMQI the concept of NULL is present in the logical model and is
created in the variables within the message flow. There is no
notion of a NULL value in a bitstream. The NULL value in the
message tree is created when a specific sequence of bytes are
encountered within the bitstream. This sequence of bytes will be
different for each parser.
- Each parser has its own representation of a NULL in a bitstream.
In the case of the MRM, this representation can be different for
each element if the user requires such behaviour.
- Each parser will interpret a NULL value in a message tree field
differently.
In summary, some WMQI parsers can lead to a NULL value to be created
in the message tree, and can handle a message tree field containing an
explicit NULL value when writing a new output message. However, other
operations can be performed on message tree fields outside the scope
of parsing and writing. It is possible for a user to create or
manipulate a parser created message tree through the use of ESQL or
nodes that cause message tree fields to be copied from one domain to
another. For more information regarding the use of explicit NULLs in
the XML domain, please see the ESQL reference (as point 2 below).
2. Websphere MQ Integrator ESQL Reference, SC34-5923-02, Chapter 2;
Messages and ESQL; Section, Referencing information in XML messages;
will have a new subsection added after 'Constructing XML in the
Compute Node' as follows :
The XML message domain and NULL values
--------------------------------------
The XML domain does not have a concept of a NULL value in the message
bitstream. This means that there is no sequence of bytes in an XML
message that will lead to an explicit NULL value to be created in the
message tree. Although the XML parser will not create a message tree
field with an explicit NULL value, ESQL within a message flow can
lead to the creation of such a field. When the XML parser needs to
construct a new message bitstream from the message tree, then it
could encounter explicit NULL values and therefore needs to be able
to handle them. In this case, an explicit NULL value is seen as 'no
characters to write' and therefore the field is created as the empty
tags. In the XML domain, there are several values that will lead to
the writing of XML empty tags in the resultant XML message :
- A message tree field that contains an explicit NULL value
- A message tree field that contains the zero length string ('')
- A message tree field that does not have a value
Once these have been written as the empty tags in an XML message then,
if the XML message is subsequently parsed, it is not possible to
distinguish between these three cases. When empty tags are parsed in
XML, then an XML message tree field is created that does not have a
value. This is different from a message tree field that contains an
explicit NULL value, and also different from a message tree field that
contains a zero length string.
Although the XML parser resolves these three different message tree
field values to the same result in the message bitstream, other
message tree operations can distinguish between them. Although the
XML parser will not create fields that contain explicit NULLS and zero
length strings, the user can perform operations in message flows that
can. Therefore, if a message flow is processing messages in the XML
domain, then the ESQL will need to distinguish between a explicit NULL
value, a zero length string, and a message tree field that does not
have a value. Not even a field that contains the explicit NULL value
is considered to be NULL when using ESQL to query the value of the
element.
The XML writing process can handle this condition however other
operations within ESQL will not treat this as a NULL value. As
previously stated, the XML domain does not have a concept of NULL and
the parser will never create a field that contains an explicit NULL
value. Because the XML domain is a character based domain, when the
value of a field is queried, it returns the result as a character
field. If the user creates an XML message tree field with an explicit
NULL, then this will not be seen as a NULL value for those ESQL
routines that get the value of the message tree field. What will
actually be returned is the character representation of the contents
of the field, which in this case will be the character string 'NULL'.
For example, if the user performs such comparisons as with IS NULL,
then this will never evaluate to a TRUE value. If the user copies
this message tree field to another message tree, then the target
message tree field will be populated with the character string 'NULL'.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
IC35575 - RENAME MSGFLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT & PRESERVE ORIGINAL COPY
A new section; Preserving message flows, will be added to the Using
the Control Center manual, SC34560205, in Chapter 5; Working with
message flows, before the Debugging message flows section to improve
the documentation regarding preservation of message flows as follows:-
If you wish to preserve a message flow to enable reuse or retain a
stable level, whilst further developing a copy it is important to
understand that renaming a message flow merely changes a label.
Message flows are identified in the configuration repository by a
generated unique identifier (CUUID). Therefore when a message flow
is exported from configuration repository to another it will retain
its CUUID. This means that if an exported message flow is imported
and modified on another system then subsequently re-imported to the
original system, the original message flow, even if it has been
renamed, will be overwritten with the imported modified message flow
unless a copy has been made of the original.
Preserving a copy of a message flow:
1. Click the Message Flows tab.
2. Select the message flow you wish to preserve, and click Copy.
3. Paste the message flow to the Message Flows root.
4. A copy of the original message flow is created as a new message
flow (this will have a different CUUID). Select the copy and
click Rename to change the label of the message flow.
5. You can now modify the renamed copy of the message flow independent
of the original.
6. Save your new message flow in the configuration repository using
either Check In or one of the File -> Check In menu options.
A reference with recommendation to read this will be made in Chapter
3, Using the Control Center - configuration data and the workspace,
in the 'Importing resources' section.

PQ71204 - UPDATE TO THE PROGRAMMING GUIDE ON HANDLING ERRORS RETURNED
FROM THE JAVA PROPAGATE METHOD.
The following following paragraph will be added to the WebSphere MQ
Integrator Version 2.1 Programming Guide (SC34-5603-04) in Chapter 6,
the section 'Implementing a node in Java', sub-section 'Error
handling and exception' to document the exception handling for the
Java propagate method.
When an error occurs downstream of the plugin node the exception will
get flowed back up the flow and returned to the evaluate method of the
plugin. As the broker is handling this execption it is better not to
handle this exception within the plugin. To do this do not code the
propagate method within a try code block. If you wish to carry out
some error handling then once complete the exception should be thrown
back to the broker to allow it to complete its error handling.

IY36091 - DOCUMENTATION PROBLEM WITH HOW MESSAGES ARE PROCESSED IN BOOK
The WebSphere MQ Integrator Introduction and Planning Guide V2.1,
GC34-5599-04, Chapter 5: Messages, Section: How messages are processed
in a message flow the bulletted list will be changed to describe the
correct way in which messages are processed in a message flow as
follows:-
The characteristics of MQSeries messages are identified by the input
node of a message flow in the following way:
- The input node will allocate a parser to each header in the message
in turn, and the message body is simply treated as another header
in the chain.
- Being an MQSeries message, the first header is assumed to be the
MQMD and is parsed accordingly.
- Each header should indicate the type of header or data following it.
With MQSeries messages, this is normally done using the 'Format'
field. The MQRFH and MQRFH2 headers are slightly different in that
the Name/Value data in the header may also contain information
regarding the format of the following data. If the value in the
Format field is a known parser (recognised by WQMI) then this will
always take precedent over any Name/Value data.
See the WebSphere MQ Integrator Programming Guide for more details
about the content and use of these headers.
- If the value in the "Format" field (or in the Name/Value data) is
recognised by the input node, and it has an associated parser, this
parser will be used to parse the following header (which may be the
message body).
- If no specific parser has been identified by the 'Format' field, the
input node uses the default message template, defined as a property
of the input node, to determine how the remaining message body must
be parsed.
- If a default message domain hasn't been specified on the input node,
the BLOB parser is used.
It is normal practice to use either the folder in the MQRFH2
header or the MQInput node to indicate to the message flow the
characteristics of the message data.

IY35159 - PROBLEM DETERMINATION GUIDE ON PAGE 39 STATES THAT HARD LIMIT
FOR PROCESS ON AIX IS 512MB, HOWEVER IT IS USER DEFINED.
The AIX hard limit size described in the WebSphere MQ Integrator
Problem Determination Guide V2.1, GC34592000, Chapter 5, Dealing with
problems during administration, Section: Configuration problems with
a large number of components will be corrected and added to as
follows :-
AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1
For 32 bit system : 2 GB
On AIX , WMQI limits DataFlowEngines to two 256MB memory segments i.e.
512MB. Normally DFE processes do not require more than 512MB of the
AIX address space therefore the DataFlowEngine executable is linked so
as to have a default address space of 2 segments. It is possible to
extend the size of the AIX address space available to the
DataFlowEngine process by increasing the number of 256MB memory
segments available to it. This can be done by patching the
executable. Using the following shell commands you can patch
DataFlowEngine to use more memory segments.
/usr/bin/echo '\0100\0\0\0'|dd of=executable_file_name bs=4
count=1 seek=19 conv=notrunc
This creates a version of the DataFlowEngine which uses 4 segments,
i.e. 1GB.
NOTE: The above technique only overrides the soft limit, not the hard
limit. If your broker processes regularly reach these sizes, consider
spreading your messageflows across more execution groups to reduce the
size of each one below these limits.

IC30627 - EXPLANATION OF CARDINALITY FUNCTION IS INCOMPLETE AND
INCONSISTENT IN USING THE CONTROL CENTER
The examples supplied in the Using the Control Center manual are
lacking and/or incorrect in clarifying how things actually work
with regards to the Cardinality function and XML messages that
contain pcdata, white space characters, attributes etc.
The following information on the Cardinality function will be
added to the WebSphere MQ Integrator Using the Control Center manual,
SC34-5602-02, Chapter 16 - Concepts of XML messages :-
WMQI V2 treats XML pcdata, attributes and sub-elements as
children of the element.
The ESQL Cardinality function returns the number of children
of a parent in the message tree. This means it counts pcdata,
attributes and sub-elements together, therefore when using the
Cardinality function with XML messages that contain pcdata,
white space characters, attributes etc. you need to distinguish
what you are determining the Cardinality of.
For example, to get the Cardinality of the number of elements
(tags), you would replace .* with .(XML.tag)
The MOVE statement will also navigate to such fields in an XML tree
when dealing with FIRSTCHILD, LASTCHILD, PREVIOUSSIBLING and
NEXTSIBLING. In fix pack 02 the TYPE and NAME clauses were added
to allow target fields of a specific NAME or TYPE meaning that
'non-data' fields in the tree can be skipped over.
The WebSphere MQ Integrator ESQL Reference V2.1 (SC34592302),
Chapter 4; ESQL Statements, MOVE will be update to emphasise this
point.
The fourth paragraph currently states :-
If a TYPE clause, NAME clause or both are present, the target is
again moved in the direction specified (PREVIOUSSIBLING or
NEXTSIBLING or FIRSTCHILD or LASTCHILD) but to a field with the
given type, name or both.
If the specified move cannot be made .......
This will be added to as follows :-
If a TYPE clause, NAME clause or both are present, the target is
again moved in the direction specified (PREVIOUSSIBLING or
NEXTSIBLING or FIRSTCHILD or LASTCHILD) but to a field with the
given type, name or both.
This is particularly useful when the name and/or type of the
target field is known because this will reduce the number of MOVE
statements required to navigate to a field. This is because fields
that do not match the criteria will be 'skipped' over, and this
could also include unexpected message tree fields such as those
representing whitespace.
If the specified move cannot be made ........

PQ62125 - NEED DOCUMENTED GUIDELINES ON LOGGING 1GB LOB COLUMNS.
The following information will be added to the WebSphere MQ Integrator
for z/OS Customization and Administration Guide Version 2.1
(SC34-5919-01), Chapter 2; Customization, Customizing a broker,
Step 7. Create the broker database p39
Considerations with WMQI usage of large objects in DB2 tables on z/OS.
1) DB2 needs to allocate auxiliary tables to hold large objects (LOBs).
By default WMQI tables are created with CURRENT RULES = 'STD'. With
this option set, DB2 implicitly defines a LOB table space, an
auxiliary table and unique index for each LOB column (using default
sizes). The default sizes of these tables may be too small for your
particular requirements. This can mean that the maximum number of
extents for the table space is quickly used up.
If these tables have large and frequent updates the BIPDBTB member
in the CNTL library for the broker should be edited as follows :-
1.1) The line SET CURRENT RULES = 'STD'; should be commented out
1.2) For all tables using LOB columns, including the following
tables :- BSUBSCRIPTIONS, BRETAINEDPUBS, BACLENTRIES,
BMQPSTOPOLOGY, BROKERAAEG, BROKERRESOURCES, BRMRTDINFO,
BRMPHYSICALRES and BAGGREGATE
a) Add a ROWID column to each of the create table definitions.
e.g. ROW_ID ROWID NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS;
b) Create a table space and table to hold the LOB data. The table
space and table are called a LOB table space and an auxiliary table.
One LOB table space and one auxiliary table must be created for each
LOB column. Create these objects using the CREATE LOB TABLESPACE
and CREATE AUXILIARY TABLE statements. For the create table space
statement the following should be taken into consideration.
PRIQTY n
Specifies the minimum primary space allocation for a DB2-managed
data set. The primary space allocation is at least the integer n in
kilobytes, the actual value will vary depending on the page size for
the buffer pool used.
If PRIQTY is omitted, n is 200, 400, 800, or 1600 for 4KB, 8KB, 16KB
and 32KB page sizes, respectively.
SECQTY n
Specifies the minimum secondary space allocation for a DB2-managed
data set. The secondary space allocation is at least the integer n
in kilobytes. This will again vary with respect to the page size
for the buffer pool used.
If SECQTY is omitted, n is either 10% of PRIQTY or 50 times
the page size of the table space, whichever is larger.
c) Create an index on the auxiliary table.
The DSNTEJ7 sample shipped with DB2 demonstrates the above.
For existing brokers a DB2 utility tools such as RUNSTATS and
REORG can be used on the default named table spaces to
increase the primary and secondary quantities respectively.
2) LOBs defined with a maximum size of > 1GB are not logged by DB2.
This means that if you restore a backup copy of a database with
LOBs > 1 GB, DB2 will not recover changes to that table at restart.
To log changes to LOB columns you will need to reduce the size of
the LOB column to less than or equal to 1 GB and specify LOG YES on
the CREATE LOB TABLESPACE statement. Be aware that this may affect
the performance of the updates to these tables. If you do not wish
a LOB column to be logged, that is not greater than 1 GB, you will
need to specify LOG NO for the table space concerned.
Migration from an existing broker to one that supports logging of
LOB columns will require the recreation of the broker.

IC29837 - COMMIT BY GROUPID DOCUMENTATION NOT CLEAR ABOUT ROLLBACK
A third bullet point will be added to the WebSphere MQ Integrator
Introduction and Planning Guide, Version 2.1 (GC345599-04), Part 2.
Business process planning, Chapter 4. Message flows, What is a
message processing node?, Error Handling, to clarify Commit By
GroupId, specifically when messages are being processed as part of
a message group, as follows:-
o If the message was being processed as part of a message group:
When handling a message flow error for a message that is part of
a message group, then the previous two points apply for the current
message being processed. However, consideration must be given to
the messages that have already been processed in the message group,
and those that have not yet been processed in the group.
The first point to note is that the use of "Commit by GroupId"
on the MQInput node is not synonymous with a Unit of Work.
When this option is selected this will lead to a commit being
issued when the last message in the message group has been
processed. If an error is encountered part way through the
group then the message flow error handling paths will be invoked
for this particular message as documented above. This error
processing could lead to a Backout being issued for the current
Unit of Work. Even when using "Commit By GroupId", it would
have been necessary to specify whether each preceding message
was participating in the Unit of Work using the standard
transactional control. Those group messages processed as part of
the Unit of Work prior to the backout, will be backed out and be
sent to either the backout queue, dead letter queue, or Input
queue dependent on the possible configurations documented above.
Irrespective of which of these is done, there may be remaining
group messages on the MQInput queue that can still be processed
by the message flow. If no extra group error handling has been
implemented, then these remaining messages will be retrieved by
the message flow, and processed in a new Unit of Work. When the
last message in the group is encountered and the "Commit by
GroupId" has been selected, then a commit will be issued. This
presents a situation where part of the group has been backed out
and part has been committed, these being divided by failing
messages. Hence, "Commit by GroupId" is not synonymous with
Units of Work when an error occurs for one of the group messages
which leads to a rollback.
To cope with this scenario, extra error handling routines should
be added to the message flow so that failing message groups can
be logged. This could be done in a database table, and when a
group message is retrieved, the table can be examined to see if
this group had failed at some point, allowing appropriate actions
to be taken. This combined with standard backout processing
would allow a message group to be processed in a similar fashion
to a Unit of Work.

IY29461 - ADD TO DOCUMENTATION THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE A MATCHING
CALL CNIDELETEMESSAGE IN A CUSTOM NODE IF THERE IS A
CNICREATEMESSAGE
A matching call to cniDeleteMessage is required for every call
to cniCreateMessage, otherwise a memory leak will occur.
The following information will be added to the MQSeries Integrator
Programming Guide, SC34-5603-01, regarding the use of
cniCreateMessage().
In Chapter 6, Implementing a plug-in node or parser; Implementing a
message processing node; Build an output message, a note will be
added to the end of the second paragraph (The input message is
read-only ......... syntax element navigation and access.)
as follows:-
Note that the copy of the input message created by the
cniCreateMessage function must be deleted by a matching call to the
cniDeleteMessage function after the message has been propagated, or
during cleanup processing after an exception has been thrown. This
will ensure resources allocated by cniCreateMessage are returned.
In Chapter 8, Node implementation and utility functions; Node utility
function interface; the description for the cniCreateMessage function
will include a reference to the cniDeleteMessage function,
as follows:-
Note that for every call to this function, there should be a matching
call to cniDeleteMessage to return allocated resources once the
processing on the output message has been completed.

PQ60310 - 0C1 ABEND WHEN STARTING WMQI DATAFLOW ENGINE
The Websphere MQ Integrator, Problem Determination Guide V2.1,
GC34592000, Chapter 5, Dealing with problems during administration,
Problems with starting resources, will have the following
information added :-
Problems with starting resources
Abend code 0C1 when trying to start data flow engine on z/OS
Scenario: The first two WebSphere MQ Integrator address spaces start
successfully, but the third address space (the data flow engine)
fails to start. The result is an 0C1 abend.
The dataflow engine address space is spawned from the admin agent.
If the region size is too small, either because an insufficient
region size was specified in the procedure, or the region size was
overridden by the OS/390 IEFUSI exit, the data flow engine address
space might fail to start and fail with an 0C1 abend.
Check this by using IPCS on the dump (moving it from the HFS to a
traditional MVS dataset if required) by issuing the IPCS command:
verbx vsmdata,'noglobal,jobname(vcp0brk2)'
where vcp0brk2 is the name of the failing job. Find 'VSM LOCAL DATA
AREA AT ADDRESS'. The field ELIM gives the available region size,
and should be greater than 0C800000.
If the field SMFEL is not ffffffff, the IEFUSI exit has changed the
allowable region size. This value should also be greater than 0C80000.
If you have an IEFUSI exit, you need to check that the exit does not
limit the broker address spaces. For example, a commonly-used field is
OUCBSUBN. This can be STC or OMVS for the broker and indicates how
the address space was started.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
IC33120 - IMPROVE DOCUMENTATION ON THE NEW BEHAVIOUR OF PARSERS
The WebSphere MQ Integrator Working with Messages V2.1 book,
SC34-6039-01, Chapter 2. Parsers, Section: How a Message is
interpreted, SubSection: Using the supplied input nodes and
parsers will be updated with the following new information
before the paragraph that starts 'If you set up the message
headers or the input properties of a supplied .... '
At this point the selected parser is assigned to the message
body, however, for performance reasons, the bitstream is not
parsed. The message body will actually be parsed when a
reference is first made to it during the message flow. For
example, this will occur during the use of Root.XML.Field or
Root.MRM.Field etc (or InputRoot.XML.Field when in the compute
node) and therefore depending on paths taken in the flow, this
parse could take place at different points. This "parse when
first needed" approach is different to the V2.0.x versions of
the product, but in normal processing the logic of a message
flow will be unchanged. However when considering error
handling for invalid messages the following should be observed:
- If the input message is not referenced in a message flow, then
it will not be parsed. This means that an invalid message can
be processed and written out untouched by the message flow,
with no parser errors occurring.
- A parser error will be thrown at the point the message is
first parsed and therefore error handling paths should be
wired appropriately. For example, a ResetContentDescriptor
node that changes the owning parser will not cause an
immediate parse of the message by the new parser. Therefore
connecting the failure terminal of this node will not handle
any parser errors that may be generated.
- A trace node that specifies ${Root} and ${Body} will cause a
full parse of the message. Therefore the insertion of a trace
node for debugging purposes will cause parser errors that may
not be generated otherwise.
- A check node cannot be used to parse and validate input
messages. This node is used to check the current owning
parser, not message validity.
The WebSphere MQ Integrator Using the Control Center V2.1 book,
SC34-5602-05, Appendix A: The IBM Primitive nodes, Section:
ResetContentDescriptor node will be changed as follows:-
The first paragraph currently reads :
The ResetContentDescriptor node takes the bit stream of the
input message and reparses it using a different message template
and either the same or a different parser. The node can reset
any combination of message domain, type and format.
This will be changed to the following :
The ResetContentDescriptor node takes the bit stream of the
input message and will request that it be reparsed using a
different message template and either the same or a different
parser. The node can reset any combination of message domain,
type and format. The bitstream will not be parsed by the new
combination until a reference is made to the message body later
in the flow.
The third paragraph currently reads :
The format of an incoming message might be unknown when it
enters a message flow, so the BLOB parser is invoked. Later
on in the message flow, you might decided that the message
is defined in the MRM format and you can use the
ResetContentDescriptor node to
reparse the message using the MRM parser.
This will be changed to the following :
The format of an incoming message might be unknown when it
enters a message flow, so the BLOB parser is invoked. Later
on in the message flow, you might decided that the message
is defined in the MRM format and you can use the
ResetContentDescriptor node to

IC33040 - INSUFFICIENT DETAIL ON IMPLEMENTING THE PASSTHRU FUNCTION.
Description of the PASSTHRU statement, previously described in the
MQSeries Integrator, Using the Control Centre manual, SC34560200,
and now described in the WebSphere MQ Integrator ESQL Reference
guide, SC34-5923-02, will be expanded in Chapter 4; ESQL statements,
as follows:
If two or more other parameters are passed, each parameter is bound
to the corresponding question mark in the statement string: that is,
the first parameter is bound to the first question mark, the second
parameter is bound to the second question mark, and so on.
The question marks are processed as parameter markers in a prepared
SQL statement by the DBMS. This means that if you are passing values
to functions in the DBMS you will have to be sure to have
appropriately typed your parameter markers. For example, in DB2 a
parameter marker would be cast as follows:
SET OutputRoot.XML.Result.Data =
PASSTHRU('SELECT * FROM user1.stocktable
where time=TIMESTAMP(CAST(? as TIMESTAMP)),
'1999-12-31-23.59.59.999999');

IC40033 - CONTROL CENTER UNABLE TO HANDLE MORE THAN 2000 ELEMENTS
Performance problems have been experienced when the Control Center is
used to manipulate a large number of elements. This can cause high
memory consumption which leads to poor response times. Such problems
can be encountered in the following situations:
Message Sets.
Adding large Message Sets to your workspace or importing (from DTD, C,
COBOL) large message definitions can affect Control Center ability to
perform other operations such as Check-In All Save To Shared, Save
workspace, expand message structure.
Recommendation: Manipulate a subset of elements.
Visual Debugger.
When debugging flows with MRM definitions that process a large
incoming message, displaying message content in the Message Content
pane can cause memory consumption to increase. As a consequence,
stopping several times at breakpoints can increase the time
necessary to display the message content.
Recommendation: Use shorter incoming messages for debug purpose.
Overall recommendations:
1. Change the Max memory size allowed for JVM to the maximum the
machine can support (using the -mx parameter in the Control
Center's launch batch file).
2. Avoid manipulating more than 2000 elements within the Control
Center.

IY38894 - BIP2322E AND BIP8040E ERRORS WHEN MIGRATING A V201 BROKER
USING AN ORACLE BROKER DATABASE TO V202/V210.
There is a known problem on AIX and HP/UX when migrating V201 brokers
that use Oracle for the broker database to V2.0.2 or V2.1. The
following errors may be reported when running the mqsicreatebroker
command to create a temporary broker to upgrade the broker database:-
BIP2322E: Database Error: SQL State IM003 Native Error Code 80
Error Text 'Specified driver could not be loaded'.
BIP8040E: Unable to connect to the database.
This occurs because the Driver parameter in the
/var/mqsi/odbc/.odbc.ini file for the Oracle ODBC Data Source Name
specified in the mqsicreatebroker command references the Merant Oracle
Driver that shipped with V2.0.1. To rectify this problem it is
necessary to amend the parameter for each Oracle Data Source used by
MQSI brokers to reference the relevant Merant Oracle Driver that ships
with V2.0.2 or V2.1. This involves replacing the reference to UKor815
with UKor816.
For example, on AIX change
Driver=/usr/opt/mqsi/merant/lib/UKor815.so
to
Driver=/usr/opt/mqsi/merant/lib/UKor816.so
on HP/UX change

28704 - Merant Driver Manager update
Support for DB2 UDB Version 7.1 FixPak 2 or later on UNIX.
The DB2 flash 1042663 - "Merant Driver Manager and DB2 UDB V7 ODBC
driver on Unix" described incompatibilities that had been encountered
with Unicode support when the Merant Driver Manager accessed DB2's
ODBC driver on UNIX. The affected versions of DB2 UDB included
Version 7.1 with FixPak 2 or later, and Version 7.2.
The workaround was to use an alternative DB2 ODBC driver library
without Unicode support enabled.
Fix pack 04 includes a new version of the DataDirect (formerly Merant)
Driver Manager which has removed the need for the workaround
documented in the above DB2 flash.
If your DB2 database is running on HP-UX or Solaris you will need to
remove the above workaround to enable this support.
If your DB2 database is running on AIX you will need to remove the
above workaround and also change the DB2 Driver entry in your
.odbc.ini file

Installation, of the Websphere MQ Integrator for Windows NT
and Windows 2000 Installation Guide Version 2.1, and use the
maintenance CD instead of the product CD.
Note that to perform a silent install of a fix pack downloaded
from the web perform the following actions.
To create the response file change to the directory where the
fix pack .exe file has been stored and run the following command :-
U200nnn.exe -s -a setup.exe -noinst -r -f1x:\mypath\my.iss
Where U200nnn is the PTF number of the fix pack being loaded
and x:\mypath\my.iss is the target drive for the response
file being recorded
To perform the silent install run the following command:-
U200nnn.exe -s -a setup.exe -nomsgbox -s -f1x:\mypath\my.iss

Migration from fix pack 02.
In order to activate new options within the Control Center, the
Config Manager must be deleted and re-created. This is done as follows
1) Stop the Config Manager
mqsistop ConfigMgr
2) Delete the Config Manager preserving the configuration and message repository.
mqsideleteconfigmgr
Use no options on this command.
3) Re-create the Config Manager
mqsicreateconfigmgr
Use all the options that were used when the Config Manager was last created.
4) Start the Config Manager
mqsistart ConfigMgr
5) Restart the Control Center and the new options will be available.

IC30970 - GLOBALLY CO-ORDINATED FLOW INVOKING NEON PARSER CAUSE XA
PROBLEM LEAVING DB INVOLVED IN A TRANSACTION LOCKOUT.
This problem has been resolved by introducing a new environment
variable, MQSI_NNSY_XA. If it is not set there is no change in
operation i.e. one connection per process and New Era nodes connect
to the database themselves. If it is set to anything AND we are
using DB2, then xa support is enabled, i.e. we have one database
connection per thread and we connect to the New Era database on
their behalf.
This environment variable changes the connection to the New Era
database from a per process to a per thread basis. As each
connection has it's own cache of rules and formats it is expected
that memory usage will increase. For further information see the
entry in the NEW ERA OF NETWORKS INFORMATION section of this file.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To use WebSphere MQ Integrator on a Solaris machine in Simplified
Chinese in zh locale you should modify the sample profile as shown
below. If you are using zh.GBK locale, there is no need for you to
modify the sample profile.
NLSPATH=/usr/lib/locale/%L/LC_MESSAGES/%N:$NLSPATH;
/opt/wmqi/messages/Zh_CN/%N:/opt/wmqi/messages/%N
LANG=zh
LC_ALL=zh
export NLSPATH LANG LC_ALL
Alternatively you may set up symbolic links to the message catalogue
files in /opt/wmqi/messages/Zh_CN from /usr/lib/locale/zh/LC_MESSAGES
if you wish to avoid changing the NLSPATH environment variable.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Fix pack 02 introduces the concept of prefixed identifiers for MRM
elements. Refer to the Working with Messages book, Chapter 4 section
"Names and Identifiers" for full details. If this concept is
exploited, you must ensure that all components of your WMQI domain are
upgraded to fix pack 02, that is, your Configuration Manager, all
Control Centers, and all brokers to which a message set containing such
elements is to deployed. Failure to upgrade in this manner will result
in parse errors in the broker. Please note also that the DTD Importer
functionality of the Control Center exploits prefixed identifiers, so
if this is used to populate message sets then the upgrade stated above
must be performed.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
IC32427 - V201 AND V202 TO V2.1 MRM MIGRATION AND COEXISTENCE
WMQI V2.1 contains a major upgrade to MRM capability. As a
result of this upgrade, the format of the message dictionary
that flows from the Configuration Manager to brokers during
a deploy operation has changed compared with MQSeries Integrator
V2.0.x.
Migration details are in the Administration Guide, chapter 12.
Please note the following additional information:
Importing 2.0.x message sets into a 2.1 Configuration Manager.
When importing 2.0.x message sets into the 2.1 Configuration
Manager you may choose to create a default XML wire format
layer. This additional layer allows a 2.1 broker to process
application messages that specify a message domain of 'MRM'
and a message format of 'XML'. You create the layer by adding
the '-x XML' option to your mqsiimpexpmsgset command line.
You may specify any valid name for the new layer, but for
compatibility with existing messages and message flows you must
use 'XML'.
If you do not migrate your Control Centers, Configuration
Manager and all brokers in the domain to WMQI 2.1 at the same
time, then you must be aware of the following extra information
that applies to co-existence scenarios:
A 2.1 Configuration Manager may co-exist with 2.0.1 and 2.0.2
brokers, as long as message sets assigned to the 2.0.x brokers
do NOT exploit the new messaging functionality available in 2.1.
This is the recommended co-existence scenario.
In order to implement this scenario, you must perform the
following steps:
1) Apply the fix for APAR IC32427 to all the 2.0.x brokers in
the domain.
2) Migrate the existing 2.0.x Configuration Manager to V2.1 and
apply cumulative maintenance zero to the 2.1 Configuration
Manager.
Once the first step is complete you will still be able to
administer your brokers using the 2.0.x Configuration Manager.
After you complete the second step you will be able to add 2.1
brokers to the domain.
If the message set does exploit new MRM function, the deploy to
a 2.0.x broker will fail with a BIP5293 message. Function that
can cause this error includes:
- Types with composition other than 'ordered set' and
'unordered set'.
- Types with context other than 'open'.
- Types with Types as members.
- Types with Messages as members.
- Simple Types other than 'binary', 'boolean', 'float',
'integer', and 'string'.
- Type Members of type 'string' with no maximum length
specified. You may specify the maximum length by adding an
Element Value Constraint with the role of Max Length.
- Types with a value. If your Compound Type has a value, there
will be a 'Type' field shown on the main properties page for
the type, below the 'Suspended from Use' field.
A 2.0.1 or 2.0.2 Configuration Manager may co-exist with 2.1
brokers. Note that this co-existence scenario is NOT supported
for application messages that specify a message domain of 'MRM'
and a message format of 'XML'. In order to implement this
scenario you must perform the following steps, IN THIS ORDER:
1) Apply the fix for APAR IC32427 to all the 2.0.x brokers in
the domain.
2) Apply the fix for APAR IC32427 to the 2.0.x Configuration
Manager.
3) Apply cumulative maintenance zero to 2.1 brokers, and add
them to the domain. Once the first step is complete you will
still be able to administer your existing brokers using the
2.0.x Configuration Manager.
If you apply the fix for APAR IC32427 to the 2.0.x Configuration
Manager before applying the fix to the 2.0.x brokers then
message sets may fail to deploy. If the failure occurs, BIP5145
and BIP5280 messages will be reported by the broker.

The installation of the New Era of Networks (NEON) component may have
altered the permissions of the /usr and /usr/lpp directories to 777.
The new /usr/lpp/neonsoft directory that is used for the NEON component
and some of its subdirectories may also have been given the same 777
permission. If security is a concern review the permissions on these
directories and change as required. To restore the default permissions
on /usr and /usr/lpp use:
chmod 755 /usr

CMVC: 33163 - Neon inst_db application fails with sybase 12.5
QTS: 325648
Description: Inst_db fails to connect to Sybase 12.5 on AIX
Resolution: Using Sybase Open Client/Client Library on AIX: The naming
conventions of the Sybase Open Client/Client Library shared objects was
changed between version 12.0 and 12.5 on the AIX operating system. This
causes a problem for software that was built against a version 12.0
environment that is now run in a 12.5 environment.
If you are using AIX and running Sybase Open Client/Client Library 12.5,
symbolic links must be established from version 12.5 shared objects to the
new version 12.0 name. Use the following commands to create the links.
These commands must be performed using the account under which the Sybase
Open Client/Client Library software was installed.

QTS: 275137
Description: On Solaris, if the LANG variable is unset, the New Era
Plug-in generates an error on the MQSI System log and fails to load
instead of bringing down the broker at startup.
Resolution: The broker produces an error on startup and shuts down
the broker.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
PMR: 15748
QTS: 324238
Description: A rule that requires data from more than one input field and that
is evaluated through the use of an output control of type Field Evaluation
may not access the correct field data in a repeating scenario. If the rule
attempts to access input field data for a field that is not mapped to the
controlling output field, then the correct iteration may not be found.
Resolution: For each input field examined by the rule, if the input field is
not mapped to the controlling output field, add an output field to the
output format mapped to this input field. This output field should appear
before the field doing the FieldEval and in the same output format. The
output control on the new field should have output operation designated as
NONE so that it does not appear in an output message, and its access mode
should be Normal Access.
Example 1:
OutputCompound1 (top-level format)
OutputFlat1 (repeating)
fld1 (controlling field, input=fld1, control=FieldEval1) <-
this works correctly
fld2 (normal access, input=fld2, control=FieldEval2) <-
FieldEval2 does not always access the correct iteration
OutputCompound1 (top-level format)
OutputFlat1 (repeating) <- MODIFIED
fld1 (controlling field, input=fld1, control=FieldEval1) <-
this works correctly
dummyFld (normal access, input=fld2, control's output
operation=NONE)
fld2 (normal access, input=fld2, control=FieldEval2) <- this
now works correctly
Example 2:
OutputCompound2 (top-level format)
OutputFlat2 (repeating)
fldA (controlling field, input=fldA, control=FieldEval, rule
accesses fldA and fldB) <- fldB is not always accessed correctly
OutputCompound2 (top-level format)
OutputFlat2 (repeating) <- MODIFIED
fldB (normal access, input=fldB, control's output
operation=NONE)
fldA (controlling field, input=fldA, control=FieldEval, rule
accesses fldA and fldB) <- this now works correctly
====================================================================
Part 4: Rules and Formatter Consistency Checkers Issues
====================================================================
APAR: IY36011 - NNSY CONSISTENCY CHECKER SCRIPT REVISIONS.
QTS: 293085
Description: The Formatter and Rules Consistency Checkers incorrectly
report problems.
Resolution: The Consistency Checkers now report problems correctly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
PMR: 06878
APAR: IY23879 - MQSIV2.02 WITH MATH EXPRESSION / DECIMAL U.S. THE BEHAVIOR OF
QTS: 259599
Description: An enhancement request was made to modify the Math
Expression code so that it can handle any numeric data type
(International Decimal, U.S. Decimal, Numeric, ASCII String) as if
they were numbers.
Workaround: Math Expressions can only handle String data types. A
Consistency Checker item was added to identify instances when
incorrect data types are used.
====================================================================
Part 5: Visual Tester Issues
====================================================================
PMR: 37556
APAR: IC33192 - CANNOT LOG ONTO VISUAL TESTER WITH USERID THAT DOES NOT HAVE DB
QTS: 272805
Description: Visual Tester fails to initialize for a user other than
the one who installed it. The workaround was for current user to
execute the nnvt_us.reg file (on English machines) or nnvt_jp.reg
files (on Japanese machines). One problem with this workaround was
that if the user lacked full access permissions (administrator) on
the machine, s/he might be denied permission to execute the
nnvt_xx.reg file.
Resolution: Initialization information for encoding and locale lists
has moved from HKEY_CURRENT_USER to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. A change was
made to allow the application to run even when default settings and
locale information are missing from the registry. In order for you
to use locale and encoding lists, the new versions of nnvt_xx.reg
must be executed, that is, the nnvt_us.reg or nnvt_jp.reg files
found in the ../gui/Visual Tester directory must be executed when
this fix is applied. If this is not done by the installation of the
patch, then the appropriate nnvt_xx.reg file must be executed once
manually to create the locale and encoding lists.
====================================================================
Part 6: Documentation Issues
====================================================================
PMR: 64335
APAR: IY57500 - FIELD EVALUATION RESTRICTION
Description: The User's Guide describes "Using Field Eval with
Repeating Data to Create a Message for Each Repeating Instance".
This example cannot function with the New Era formatting nodes
because they do not have the necessary putqueue capability.
Resolution: Amend New Era of Networks Rules and Formatter Support
for WebSphere MQ Integrator User's Guide Version 5.6. by removing
pages 63 to 65 of the User's Guide. So the description of "Using
Field Eval with Repeating Data to Create a Message for Each
Repeating Instance" is no longer misleading.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
CMVC: 29531 - Formatter GUI changes without "apply" clicked
QTS: 291745
Description: The Formatter online help currently states that you must
click the Apply button for changes to be saved in the Formatter GUI.
The documentation should state that changes are automatically saved
as they are made.
Resolution: In a subsequent fix pack an update to the Formatter
online help a statement will be included warning the user that when
a change is made in the Formatter GUI, it is automatically saved.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
PMR: 31468
APAR: IY22705 - THE DOCUMENTATION IS NOT CLEAR ON VALID OUTPUT CONTROLS WHERE
QTS: 255445
Description: Page 68 of the User's Guide and the New Era of Networks
Formatter online help states the following:
"Input Field Value = output controls indicate that the output
format the control is part of should be output if the field has
a specific value."
This statement incorrectly implies that you can leave the default
value of NONE for the Output Control type 'Input Field ='. However,
this is not true. You must enter a valid literal in place of the
default value of NONE.
Resolution:
This statement should read:
The Input Field Value = output control indicates that the output
format which contains Input Field Value as part of its definition
appears in the output message if the field is defined with a valid
literal value other than the default value of NONE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
CMVC: 27645 - Online help refers to Data type IBM Packed Decimal as Integer
QTS: 290528
Description:
The New Era of Networks Formatter online help inconsistently
labels one of the data types as IBM Packed Decimal and IBM Packed
Integer.
Resolution:
The correct label is IBM Packed Decimal.

APAR: IY47921 - DOUBLE BYTE (DBCS) SPACE TRIM PROCESSING IS INCORRECT
QTS: 327464
Description: When trimming and using a multi-byte code set, the
Formatter seems to trim to an even number of bytes.
Resolution: A change was made. Formatter now looks at the data
output type, and if EBCDIC is specified, it handles the data as
single-byte.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
PMR: 39948,370
APAR: IY50061 - REFORMAT FAILS AFTER UPGRADE FROM MQSI V2.0.2 TO WMQI V2.1
QTS: 335808
Description: In Formatter, Substitute output controls did not work
properly when it contained a field value with a Substitution of NONE,
and a conversion was included in the definition.
Resolution: Additional logic was added which now verifies that a
codeset conversion is only attempted on non-zero Length values.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
CMVC: 17228 - Neon Formatter GUI: Can't fully move around window
QTS: 253329
Description: The entire Formatter GUI is not visible in the display,
and there is no scroll bar to access the portion that cannot be seen.
Resolution: The Formatter GUI has resolution and font restrictions.
To access the entire GUI, you must use 600 x 800 resolution setting
and cannot use large fonts.

APAR # IY24156 - INST_DB NOT RETURNING THE UNDERLYING ORACLE ERROR CODE
Problem:
This is a known inst_db problem. Because of how inst_db uses
the DBTIL component and how DBTIL stores errors internally, the
application does not report native database vendor errors during
failed connections.
Work-around:
Do the following:
1. Upon receipt of a generic error from inst_db, assume some sort of
login failure.
2. Then use vendor-specific interactive SQL tools to troubleshoot
the source of the login failure.

CR # 299402
APAR # IC34947 - APAR IC34947 NNSY NODES/PARSER NOT PICKING UP THE
CCSID OF THEMESSAGE FROM THE FLOW - MQMD.CCSID
Problem:
There is a problem with an WMQI 2.1 message flow. It does the
following:
1) An input Node that sets the Message Domain to NEON and sets a
Message type and format which then parsers the message.
2) The header gets removed.
3) The NEON fields are taken and an XML output is created.
4) The data is then output on a queue.

APAR # IC35410 - MQSI THROWS NEWERAON FORMAT EXCEPTION AS SETERROR
ALWAYS IGNORES NN_ERSTATUS_OK (0), CHANGING IT TO
NN_ERSTATUS_ERROR (-1)
Problem:
The intended usage for NNExitRet::SetError was when user exit
routines are in an error state. SetError allowed an informative error
message to be logged before the user exit erred out. Passing a
message in with NN_ERSTATUS_OK is assumed to be a mistake, and
SetError changed NN_ERSTATUS_OK to NN_ERSTATUS_ERROR silently.
Resolution:
The new behavior is:
* SetError allows logging of true error messages if passed with
NN_ERSTATUS_ERROR
* SetError allows logging of messages in non-error situations if
passed with NN_ERSTATUS_OK
* SetByteArrayValue will clear all NN_ERSTATUS_ERROR messages, but
not NN_ERSTATUS_OK (debug) messages

Resolution:
The product now checks to see if the message type is in a Ruleset:
- If it does exist in a Ruleset, an error message is generated and
you will need to delete it and add one with a different evaluation

Problem:
The location of the NNSYMessagelog.nml file is not indicated in
the current documentation.
Resolution:
On Unix
The NNSYMessageLog.nml file is written to the current working
directory at application startup. For broker logging, this file is
written to the current directory when mqsistart was issued.
For migration and test utility logging, such as msgtest, NNFie,
and NNRie, the NNSYMessageLog.nml file is written to the current
working directory.
On Windows NT
For broker and Control Center logging, the NNSYMessageLog.nml file
is written to \bin where wmqi_inst_loc is the location
of the WebSphere MQ Integrator installation; for example,
"C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ Integrator 2.1".
For migration and test utility logging, such as msgtest, NNFie, and

CMVC # 25353 - Decimal Values Are Allowed in a Numeric Field
Problem:
If you define an input control field with a data type as Numeric,
New Era of Networks Formatter parses with decimal values that are
inconsistent with the Numeric data type information described on
pages 171, 180, 186, 187 of the System Management Guide.
The SM Guide states:
"NUMERIC data types only support characters (0-9) and do not
support decimals. While an error might not occur with decimals,
the decimals may be ignored and the number will be truncated to a
whole number.
Resolution:
When using the Numeric data type in your input or output control
definitions, observe the following additional guidelines:
Input Control Definition Guidelines
- If you define an input control field value as a decimal, New Era
of Networks Formatter will not fail to parse.
Output Control Definition Guidelines
- If you want the decimal portion of the input date to appear
in an output message, select N/A or String as the data type in
your output control definition. New Era of Networks Rules will
ignore the decimal portion of the input data.
- If you do not want the decimal portion of the input date to appear
in an output message, select Numeric as the data type in your
output control definition.

CR # 275197 - System Management Guide
PMR # 89584
Problem:
The following section of information is missing from the WMQI V2.1
System Management Guide.
Resolution:
Include the following information in the WMQI V2.1 System Management
Guide.
Assigning Permissions
To assign permissions, you must create more than one user in your
database.
In Oracle
The following procedure describes how to create database users in
Oracle. To access WMQI databases, users must be created
and associated with the user role that was created during the WMQI
installation.
The process for creating users in Oracle includes:
- Creating users
- Granting roles to users
- Creating synonyms for database objects
Creating Users
You must create users to identify individual user names in the
database.
To create a user, type the following command and press ENTER.
create user identified by ;
where USERNAME and PASSWORD are required parameters.
Granting Roles to Users
To give users permissions to access the database data, you can grant
permissions to an individual user or create roles with certain
permissions and associate users with specific roles.
A role was created for user access to the WMQI database
during the installation process. This role uses the following format:
_ROLE
where is your site-specific role name provided during
installation.
To grant the role to each created user:
1. Log in to the database as SYS.
2. Establish a connection to the Oracle instance using SQL Plus and
the SYS username and password.
3. Type the following command to grant the role to the new user:
grant _ROLE to ;
The _ROLE role is granted to the user identified by
USERNAME.
NOTE: For rules permissions, each user can have only one role granted
and this role must be the same for all users.
Creating Synonyms for Database Objects
To create synonyms for the WMQI database objects, users
must run a database script.
To run the WMQI synonyms SQL script:
1. Locate the nn_synonyms.sql script in the install.sql_rulfmt56\inst_db\or806\tmp
sub-directory of the installation directory. Log in to the directory
where the nn_synonyms.sql resides.
2. Run the nn_synonyms.sql script for each user using the following
command:
sqlplus @@ nn_synonyms.sql> synonyms.log
3. Review the contents of the synonyms.log file for any errors. Ignore
the errors related to dropping synonyms.
In Sybase or SQL Server
The following procedures describe how to create users in Sybase or
Microsoft SQL server.
The commands are run within the command line program isql, and all
references to SQL Server include both Sybase and SQL Server.
Except for changing passwords, these procedures are limited to either
the system administrator or database owner.
Users must have login accounts and a user name in each database they
want to access. Adding login accounts, database users, and object
permissions can be done by the system administrator, security officer,
or database owner. A single person can occupy one or more of these
roles. Check with your database administrator for information about your
specific environment.
The process includes:
- Creating login accounts
- Assigning users to a database
- Defining user groups
Creating Login Accounts
Login accounts give users access to the SQL Server. To access a database,
a login must be assigned to a user name to the databases the user wants
to access. Only a system administrator or security officer has the
authority to create login accounts.
To create a login account, enter the following:
sp_addlogin loginName, password [, defdb [, deflang [,sid [, encryptopt]]]]
where loginName is the sysname with no default,
where password is the login; login is sysname with no default,
where defdb is the default database for the login (database is sysname
with a default of master),
where deflang is the name of the default language assigned when a user
logs in to SQL Server (language is sysname with a default of NULL; if
language is not specified, language is set to the servers current default
language defined by the sp_configure variable default language).
NOTE: Changing the server default language does not change the default
language for existing logins. The language remains the same as the
default language used when the login was added.
where sid is the security identification number (SID) [sid is varbinary
(16) with a default of NULL. If sid is NULL, the system generates a SID
for the new login, specifying a value other than NULL, but the number must
not already exist. SID is useful when you are scripting or moving SQL
Server logins from one server to another and you want the logins to have
the same SID between servers.],
and where encryptopt specifies whether the password is encrypted when
stored in the system tables (encryption_option is varchr(20) and can be
one of these values:
Value Description
NULL (default) The password is encrypted.
skip_encryption The password is not encrypted. The supplied
password was encrypted by an earlier version of
SQL Server and is used for upgrade purposes only.
Assigning Users to a Database
To use a database, the server login must be associated with a user name
in the database. Only the database owner (DBO) can assign users to a
database.
From the database in which the user is to be added, enter the following:
sp_adduser loginName [, nameInDB] [, group]
where the loginName is the user's server login account,
where the nameInDB parameter is the name for the user in the database,
where the nameInDB defaults to the loginName if it is not specified,
and where the group enables the DBO to add the user to an existing group
in the database. If a group is not specified, the user is placed in the
default group, PUBLIC.
NOTES:
- To add permissions both in New Era of Networks Rules and in New Era of
Networks Formatter, you must add users as users not aliases. They must
be members of the same user group.
- SQL Server: Permission errors occur if the user is the same as the
database owner (DBO). the user must be part of NNSYGRP, but cannot be
the DBO.
Defining User Groups
During installation process, NNSYGRP is created for WMQI
users. Users must be linked to the NNSYGRP group to access the WMQI
databases. In addition, each database user, with the exception
of the database owner, must be granted permissions to access objects
within that database.
To add users to NNSYGRP, do one of the following:
- To use the sp_adduser procedure, enter the following:
sp_adduser loginName [, nameInDB] [, group]
where the loginName is the user's server login account,
where the nameInDB parameter is the name for the user in the database,
where the nameInDB defaults to the loginName if it is not specified,
and where the group enables the DBO to add the user to an existing
group in the database. If a group is not specified, the user is placed
in the default group, PUBLIC.
- To use the sp_changegroup system procedure, enter the following:
sp_changegroup groupName, userName
where groupName is the name of the group to which the user is added,
and where userName is the database user name.
In DB2 UDB
The following procedures describe how to create database users in DB2.
It includes the following:
- Creating users
- Creating aliases for database objects
To allow other users to have access to the objects created during
installation, a new user must be created with aliases to link the user's
objects to the objects in the installer's schema. New users are added to
the NNSYGRP group created during installation. You must be a member of
NNSYGRP in order to access any of the objects owned by another NNSYGRP
member.
Creating Users
To grant user access to the database, you must create additional user
accounts at the local system level.
Create additional users in the NNSYGRP group.
Creating Aliases for Database Objects
Each new user must run a database script to create aliases for the WMQI
database objects created during the WMQI database installation.
NOTE: To have assignable permissions, you must be a member of the
system group NNSYGRP.
Ask your database administrator to create aliases for OS/390.
To create aliases using the nn_aliases.sql script:
1. Connect to the WMQI database using the user ID of the user
you want to add.
2. Establish a DB2 CLP session.
Example:
db2 connect to user using
3. Locate the nn_aliases.sql script in the
\install.sql_rulfmt56\inst_db\tmp directory of the installation
directory.
4. Run the nn_aliases.sql script using the following command:
db2 -f nn_aliases.sql -l aliases.log -t
5. Review the contents of the aliases.log file for any errors. Ignore
the errors related to dropping aliases.

CR # 290003 - User's Guide
APAR # IY33142 - IMPLICIT AND EXPLICIT DATA CONVERSIONS FOR MATH
EXPRESSIONS
Problem:
The New Era of Networks Formatter chapter unclearly states:
NOTE: A math expression cannot be preceded by data type conversion
output operations unless the output data type is ASCII. For example,
the numeric format International Decimal cannot be preceded a
math expression.
Resolution:
More information is required in the note.
NOTE:
In an Output Operation Collection when the output data type is
different from the input data type, a data conversion needs to
occur. However, you can control the timing of the conversion.
If an Output Operation Collection specified in the Output Control
contains a Data/Convert operation, then the conversion is delayed
until the explicit conversion operation is reached. In this case,
all operations preceding the Data/Convert act on the parsed data,
and all operations following the Data/Convert act on the converted
data.
If there is no Data/Convert operation in the Output Operation
Collection, then an implicit conversion operation immediately
acts on the input data. Subsequently, all the other defined
operations in the collection act on the converted data.
Compare the following Output Operation Collection examples:
Collection_A
Math_Mult_by_2
Trim_neg_sign
Collection_B
Math_Mult_by_2
Trim_neg_sign
Convert
If the Output Control specifies IBM Zoned Decimal as the Data Type
and the input data is "12" (ASCII x'3132'), then Collection_A will
fail, but Collection_B will work. The math operations work on ASCII
numeric data only. Since Collection_A does not contain a convert
operation the data will be converted to Zoned Decimal before any other
operation occurs. The data reaching the Math operation will be Zoned
(EBCDIC x'f1f2') and the Math operation parser will not recognize it.
Collection_B contains a Convert operation, so the data flowing through
it will remain ASCII until the Convert operation is reached.
This enhancement enables Output Operation Collections to behave in a
consistent manner. In 4.11 certain operations, such as Math
Expressions, pulled their input from the formatter parsed tree
discarding output from any previous operations. This meant that these
operations had to be listed before other operations. Confusion
existed around the order in which operations could occur and numbers
could not be manipulated before a math expression. This was solved
by serializing the output from each operation, allowing the data to
flow through the collection with the input to each operation being
the serialized output of the previous operation. Implicit
conversion had to fit in this flow somewhere, so putting the implicit
conversion first in the flow was a conscious decision.

Problem:
Both the System Management Guide and the fix pack #3 readme incorrectly
document the use of the [-p] option.
Resolution:
The System Management Guide should read:
The [-p] option can only be used when migrating from MQSI 1.1 or

CR # 279277
APAR # IY31377 - IMPORT NEW ERA FORMATS FROM OLDER VERSION INTO V2.1
Problem:
On AIX/Oracle, when exporting rules and formats from MQSI 2.0.2
using NNRie and NNFie and importing them into WMQI 2.1, two
problems are encountered:
#1 Trailing spaces are generated in New Era of Network Formatter
components.
#2 New Era of Networks Rules Subscription names that contain the %
(percent) character fail to import.
Work-arounds:
#1 To correct the NNFie problem, delete the trailing spaces in the
NNFie export file from the component lines that failed to import.
#2 To correct the NNRie problem, remove the % character from the
Subscription names, do one of the following:
- Use the MQSI V2.02 GUI to remove the % characters and then
reexport the file.
- Open the NNRie export file and manually delete the %
characters from the Subscription names.

CMVC # 20626 - NN406I: Missing insert etc
Problem:
The location of the NNSYMessagelog.nml file is not indicated in
the current documentation.
Resolution:
On Unix
The NNSYMessageLog.nml file is written to the current working
directory at application startup. For broker logging, this file is
written to the current directory when mqsistart was issued.
For migration and test utility logging, such as msgtest, NNFie,
and NNRie, the NNSYMessageLog.nml file is written to the current
working directory.
On Windows NT
For broker and Control Center logging, the NNSYMessageLog.nml file
is written to \bin where wmqi_inst_loc is the location
of the WebSphere MQ Integrator installation; for example,
"C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ Integrator 2.1".
For migration and test utility logging, such as msgtest, NNFie, and
NNRie, the NNSYMessageLog.nml file is written to the current working
directory.

CR # 273641 - System Management Guide
CMVC # 25353 - Decimal values are allowed in a numeric field
Problem:
If you define an input control field with a data type as Numeric,
New Era of Networks Formatter parses with decimal values that are
inconsistent with the Numeric data type information described on
pages 171, 180, 186, 187 of the System Management Guide.
The SM Guide states:
"NUMERIC data types only support characters (0-9) and do not
support decimals. While an error might not occur with decimals,
the decimals may be ignored and the number will be truncated to a
whole number.
Resolution:
When using the Numeric data type in your input or output control
definitions, observe the following additional guidelines:
Input Control Definition Guidelines
- If you define an input control field value as a decimal, New Era
of Networks Formatter will not fail to parse.
Output Control Definition Guidelines
- If you want the decimal portion of the input date to appear
in an output message, select N/A or String as the data type in
your output control definition. New Era of Networks Rules will
ignore the decimal portion of the input data.
- If you do not want the decimal portion of the input date to appear
in an output message, select Numeric as the data type in your
output control definition.

CR # 275197 - System Management Guide
PMR # 89584
Problem:
The following section of information is missing from the WMQI V2.1
System Management Guide.
Resolution:
Include the following information in the WMQI V2.1 System Management
Guide.
Assigning Permissions
To assign permissions, you must create more than one user in your
database.
In Oracle
The following procedure describes how to create database users in
Oracle. To access WMQI databases, users must be created
and associated with the user role that was created during the WMQI
installation.
The process for creating users in Oracle includes:
- Creating users
- Granting roles to users
- Creating synonyms for database objects
Creating Users
You must create users to identify individual user names in the
database.
To create a user, type the following command and press ENTER.
create user identified by ;
where USERNAME and PASSWORD are required parameters.
Granting Roles to Users
To give users permissions to access the database data, you can grant
permissions to an individual user or create roles with certain
permissions and associate users with specific roles.
A role was created for user access to the WMQI database
during the installation process. This role uses the following format:
_ROLE
where is your site-specific role name provided during
installation.
To grant the role to each created user:
1. Log in to the database as SYS.
2. Establish a connection to the Oracle instance using SQL Plus and
the SYS username and password.
3. Type the following command to grant the role to the new user:
grant _ROLE to ;
The _ROLE role is granted to the user identified by
USERNAME.
NOTE: For rules permissions, each user can have only one role granted
and this role must be the same for all users.
Creating Synonyms for Database Objects
To create synonyms for the WMQI database objects, users
must run a database script.
To run the WMQI synonyms SQL script:
1. Locate the nn_synonyms.sql script in the install.sql_rulfmt56\inst_db\or806\tmp
sub-directory of the installation directory. Log in to the directory
where the nn_synonyms.sql resides.
2. Run the nn_synonyms.sql script for each user using the following
command:
sqlplus @@ nn_synonyms.sql> synonyms.log
3. Review the contents of the synonyms.log file for any errors. Ignore
the errors related to dropping synonyms.
In Sybase or SQL Server
The following procedures describe how to create users in Sybase or
Microsoft SQL server.
The commands are run within the command line program isql, and all
references to SQL Server include both Sybase and SQL Server.
Except for changing passwords, these procedures are limited to either
the system administrator or database owner.
Users must have login accounts and a user name in each database they
want to access. Adding login accounts, database users, and object
permissions can be done by the system administrator, security officer,
or database owner. A single person can occupy one or more of these
roles. Check with your database administrator for information about your
specific environment.
The process includes:
- Creating login accounts
- Assigning users to a database
- Defining user groups
Creating Login Accounts
Login accounts give users access to the SQL Server. To access a database,
a login must be assigned to a user name to the databases the user wants
to access. Only a system administrator or security officer has the
authority to create login accounts.
To create a login account, enter the following:
sp_addlogin loginName, password [, defdb [, deflang [,sid [, encryptopt]]]]
where loginName is the sysname with no default,
where password is the login; login is sysname with no default,
where defdb is the default database for the login (database is sysname
with a default of master),
where deflang is the name of the default language assigned when a user
logs in to SQL Server (language is sysname with a default of NULL; if
language is not specified, language is set to the servers current default
language defined by the sp_configure variable default language).
NOTE: Changing the server default language does not change the default
language for existing logins. The language remains the same as the
default language used when the login was added.
where sid is the security identification number (SID) [sid is varbinary
(16) with a default of NULL. If sid is NULL, the system generates a SID
for the new login, specifying a value other than NULL, but the number must
not already exist. SID is useful when you are scripting or moving SQL
Server logins from one server to another and you want the logins to have
the same SID between servers.],
and where encryptopt specifies whether the password is encrypted when
stored in the system tables (encryption_option is varchr(20) and can be
one of these values:
Value Description
NULL (default) The password is encrypted.
skip_encryption The password is not encrypted. The supplied
password was encrypted by an earlier version of
SQL Server and is used for upgrade purposes only.
Assigning Users to a Database
To use a database, the server login must be associated with a user name
in the database. Only the database owner (DBO) can assign users to a
database.
From the database in which the user is to be added, enter the following:
sp_adduser loginName [, nameInDB] [, group]
where the loginName is the user's server login account,
where the nameInDB parameter is the name for the user in the database,
where the nameInDB defaults to the loginName if it is not specified,
and where the group enables the DBO to add the user to an existing group
in the database. If a group is not specified, the user is placed in the
default group, PUBLIC.
NOTES:
- To add permissions both in New Era of Networks Rules and in New Era of
Networks Formatter, you must add users as users not aliases. They must
be members of the same user group.
- SQL Server: Permission errors occur if the user is the same as the
database owner (DBO). the user must be part of NNSYGRP, but cannot be
the DBO.
Defining User Groups
During installation process, NNSYGRP is created for WMQI
users. Users must be linked to the NNSYGRP group to access the WMQI
databases. In addition, each database user, with the exception
of the database owner, must be granted permissions to access objects
within that database.
To add users to NNSYGRP, do one of the following:
- To use the sp_adduser procedure, enter the following:
sp_adduser loginName [, nameInDB] [, group]
where the loginName is the user's server login account,
where the nameInDB parameter is the name for the user in the database,
where the nameInDB defaults to the loginName if it is not specified,
and where the group enables the DBO to add the user to an existing
group in the database. If a group is not specified, the user is placed
in the default group, PUBLIC.
- To use the sp_changegroup system procedure, enter the following:
sp_changegroup groupName, userName
where groupName is the name of the group to which the user is added,
and where userName is the database user name.
In DB2 UDB
The following procedures describe how to create database users in DB2.
It includes the following:
- Creating users
- Creating aliases for database objects
To allow other users to have access to the objects created during
installation, a new user must be created with aliases to link the user's
objects to the objects in the installer's schema. New users are added to
the NNSYGRP group created during installation. You must be a member of
NNSYGRP in order to access any of the objects owned by another NNSYGRP
member.
Creating Users
To grant user access to the database, you must create additional user
accounts at the local system level.
Create additional users in the NNSYGRP group.
Creating Aliases for Database Objects
Each new user must run a database script to create aliases for the WMQI
database objects created during the WMQI database installation.
NOTE: To have assignable permissions, you must be a member of the
system group NNSYGRP.
Ask your database administrator to create aliases for OS/390.
To create aliases using the nn_aliases.sql script:
1. Connect to the WMQI database using the user ID of the user
you want to add.
2. Establish a DB2 CLP session.
Example:
db2 connect to user using
3. Locate the nn_aliases.sql script in the
\install.sql_rulfmt56\inst_db\tmp directory of the installation
directory.
4. Run the nn_aliases.sql script using the following command:
db2 -f nn_aliases.sql -l aliases.log -t
5. Review the contents of the aliases.log file for any errors. Ignore
the errors related to dropping aliases.

CR # 290003 - User's Guide
APAR # IY33142 - IMPLICIT AND EXPLICIT DATA CONVERSIONS FOR MATH
EXPRESSIONS
Problem:
The New Era of Networks Formatter chapter unclearly states:
NOTE: A math expression cannot be preceded by data type conversion
output operations unless the output data type is ASCII. For example,
the numeric format International Decimal cannot be preceded a
math expression.
Resolution:
More information is required in the note.
NOTE:
In an Output Operation Collection when the output data type is
different from the input data type, a data conversion needs to
occur. However, you can control the timing of the conversion.
If an Output Operation Collection specified in the Output Control
contains a Data/Convert operation, then the conversion is delayed
until the explicit conversion operation is reached. In this case,
all operations preceding the Data/Convert act on the parsed data,
and all operations following the Data/Convert act on the converted
data.
If there is no Data/Convert operation in the Output Operation
Collection, then an implicit conversion operation immediately
acts on the input data. Subsequently, all the other defined
operations in the collection act on the converted data.
Compare the following Output Operation Collection examples:
Collection_A
Math_Mult_by_2
Trim_neg_sign
Collection_B
Math_Mult_by_2
Trim_neg_sign
Convert
If the Output Control specifies IBM Zoned Decimal as the Data Type
and the input data is "12" (ASCII x'3132'), then Collection_A will
fail, but Collection_B will work. The math operations work on ASCII
numeric data only. Since Collection_A does not contain a convert
operation the data will be converted to Zoned Decimal before any other
operation occurs. The data reaching the Math operation will be Zoned
(EBCDIC x'f1f2') and the Math operation parser will not recognize it.
Collection_B contains a Convert operation, so the data flowing through
it will remain ASCII until the Convert operation is reached.
This enhancement enables Output Operation Collections to behave in a
consistent manner. In 4.11 certain operations, such as Math
Expressions, pulled their input from the formatter parsed tree
discarding output from any previous operations. This meant that these
operations had to be listed before other operations. Confusion
existed around the order in which operations could occur and numbers
could not be manipulated before a math expression. This was solved
by serializing the output from each operation, allowing the data to
flow through the collection with the input to each operation being
the serialized output of the previous operation. Implicit
conversion had to fit in this flow somewhere, so putting the implicit
conversion first in the flow was a conscious decision.

System Management guide.
Resolution:
Include the following information in the WMQI V2.1 System Management
Guide.
Assigning Permissions
To assign permissions, you must create more than one user in your
database.
In Oracle
The following procedure describes how to create database users in
Oracle. To access New Era of Networks Rules and Formatter databases,
users must be created and associated with the user role that was
created during the New Era of Networks Rules and Formatter
installation.
The process for creating users in Oracle includes:
- Creating users
- Granting roles to users
- Creating synonyms for database objects
Creating Users
You must create users to identify individual user names in the
database.
To create a user, type the following command and press ENTER.
create user identified by ;
where USERNAME and PASSWORD are required parameters.
Granting Roles to Users
To give users permissions to access the database data, you can grant
permissions to an individual user or create roles with certain
permissions and associate users with specific roles.
A role was created for user access to the New Era of Networks Rules
and Formatter database during the installation process. This role
uses the following format:
_ROLE
where is your site-specific role name provided during
installation.
To grant the role to each created user:
1. Log in to the database as SYS.
2. Establish a connection to the Oracle instance using SQL Plus and
the SYS username and password.
3. Type the following command to grant the role to the new user:
grant _ROLE to ;
The _ROLE role is granted to the user identified by
USERNAME.
NOTE: For rules permissions, each user can have only one role granted
and this role must be the same for all users.
Creating Synonyms for Database Objects
To create synonyms for the New Era of Networks Rules and Formatter
database objects, users must run a database script.
To run the New Era of Networks synonyms SQL script:
1. Locate the nn_synonyms.sql script in the install.sql_rulfmt56\inst_db\or806\tmp
sub-directory of the installation directory. Log in to the directory
where the nn_synonyms.sql resides.
2. Run the nn_synonyms.sql script for each user using the following
command:
sqlplus @@ nn_synonyms.sql> synonyms.log
3. Review the contents of the synonyms.log file for any errors. Ignore
the errors related to dropping synonyms.
In Sybase or SQL Server
The following procedures describe how to create users in Sybase or
Microsoft SQL server.
The commands are run within the command line program isql, and all
references to SQL Server include both Sybase and SQL Server.
Except for changing passwords, these procedures are limited to either
the system administrator or database owner.
Users must have login accounts and a user name in each database they
want to access. Adding login accounts, database users, and object
permissions can be done by the system administrator, security officer,
or database owner. A single person can occupy one or more of these
roles. Check with your database administrator for information about your
specific environment.
The process includes:
- Creating login accounts
- Assigning users to a database
- Defining user groups
Creating Login Accounts
Login accounts give users access to the SQL Server. To access a database,
a login must be assigned to a user name to the databases the user wants
to access. Only a system administrator or security officer has the
authority to create login accounts.
To create a login account, enter the following:
sp_addlogin loginName, password [, defdb [, deflang [,sid [, encryptopt]]]]
where loginName is the sysname with no default,
where password is the login; login is sysname with no default,
where defdb is the default database for the login (database is sysname
with a default of master),
where deflang is the name of the default language assigned when a user
logs in to SQL Server (language is sysname with a default of NULL; if
language is not specified, language is set to the servers current default
language defined by the sp_configure variable default language).
NOTE: Changing the server default language does not change the default
language for existing logins. The language remains the same as the
default language used when the login was added.
where sid is the security identification number (SID) [sid is varbinary
(16) with a default of NULL. If sid is NULL, the system generates a SID
for the new login, specifying a value other than NULL, but the number must
not already exist. SID is useful when you are scripting or moving SQL
Server logins from one server to another and you want the logins to have
the same SID between servers.],
and where encryptopt specifies whether the password is encrypted when
stored in the system tables (encryption_option is varchr(20) and can be
one of these values:
Value Description
NULL (default) The password is encrypted.
skip_encryption The password is not encrypted. The supplied
password was encrypted by an earlier version of
SQL Server and is used for upgrade purposes only.
Assigning Users to a Database
To use a database, the server login must be associated with a user name
in the database. Only the database owner (DBO) can assign users to a
database.
From the database in which the user is to be added, enter the following:
sp_adduser loginName [, nameInDB] [, group]
where the loginName is the user's server login account,
where the nameInDB parameter is the name for the user in the database,
where the nameInDB defaults to the loginName if it is not specified,
and where the group enables the DBO to add the user to an existing group
in the database. If a group is not specified, the user is placed in the
default group, PUBLIC.
NOTES:
- To add permissions both in New Era of Networks Rules and in New Era of
Networks Formatter, you must add users as users not aliases. They must
be members of the same user group.
- SQL Server: Permission errors occur if the user is the same as the
database owner (DBO). the user must be part of NNSYGRP, but cannot be
the DBO.
Defining User Groups
During installation process, NNSYGRP is created for New Era of Networks
Rules and Formatter users. Users must be linked to the NNSYGRP group to
access the New Era of Networks Rules and Formatter databases. In
addition, each database user, with the exception of the database owner,
must be granted permissions to access objects within that database.
To add users to NNSYGRP, do one of the following:
- To use the sp_adduser procedure, enter the following:
sp_adduser loginName [, nameInDB] [, group]
where the loginName is the user's server login account,
where the nameInDB parameter is the name for the user in the database,
where the nameInDB defaults to the loginName if it is not specified,
and where the group enables the DBO to add the user to an existing
group in the database. If a group is not specified, the user is placed
in the default group, PUBLIC.
- To use the sp_changegroup system procedure, enter the following:
sp_changegroup groupName, userName
where groupName is the name of the group to which the user is added,
and where userName is the database user name.
In DB2 UDB
The following procedures describe how to create database users in DB2.
It includes the following:
- Creating users
- Creating aliases for database objects
To allow other users to have access to the objects created during
installation, a new user must be created with aliases to link the user's
objects to the objects in the installer's schema. New users are added to
the NNSYGRP group created during installation. You must be a member of
NNSYGRP in order to access any of the objects owned by another NNSYGRP
member.
Creating Users
To grant user access to the database, you must create additional user
accounts at the local system level.
Create additional users in the NNSYGRP group.
Creating Aliases for Database Objects
Each new user must run a database script to create aliases for the New Era
of Networks Rules and Formatter database objects created during the New
Era of Networks Rules and Formatter database installation.
NOTE: To have assignable permissions, you must be a member of the
system group NNSYGRP.
Ask your database administrator to create aliases for OS/390.
To create aliases using the nn_aliases.sql script:
1. Connect to the New Era of Networks Rules and Formatter database using
the user ID of the user you want to add.
2. Establish a DB2 CLP session.
Example:
db2 connect to user using
3. Locate the nn_aliases.sql script in the
\install.sql_rulfmt56\inst_db\tmp directory of the installation
directory.
4. Run the nn_aliases.sql script using the following command:
db2 -f nn_aliases.sql -l aliases.log -t
5. Review the contents of the aliases.log file for any errors. Ignore
the errors related to dropping aliases.

Using NEON domain within a globally coordinated transactional message
flow.
There are known problems when using DB2 database and working with the
NEON domain (NEON parser, NEONRules and NEONFormatter nodes) within a
message flow which is globally coordinated.
To overcome these problems, take the following action:
1. Install fix pack 3
2. Edit your nnsyreg.dat file
On Unix:
Edit Session.MQSI_PLUGIN section
replace NNOT_SHARED_LIBRARY = dbt26db250
with NNOT_SHARED_LIBRARY = dbt26mqi
and NNOT_FACTORY_FUNCTION = NNSesDB2Factory
with NNOT_FACTORY_FUNCTION = NNSesODBCFactory
On Win32:
replace NNOT_SHARED_LIBRARY = dbt26db250
with NNOT_SHARED_LIBRARY = dbt26msodbc
and NNOT_FACTORY_FUNCTION = NNSesDB2Factory
with NNOT_FACTORY_FUNCTION = NNSesODBCFactory
3. Ensure that your Rules and Formats database is defined as
an ODBC datasource either in .odbc.ini file (unix) or in the
Windows GUI (control panel->ODBC dataSources)
4. Set the following environment variable
MQSI_NNSY_XA=1
NOTES:
1. When using NNFie or NNRie, you are recommended to not use the
MQSI_PLUGIN session but to have a separate session for these tools,
containing the following values:
NNOT_SHARED_LIBRARY = dbt26db250
NNOT_FACTORY_FUNCTION = NNSesDB2Factory
2. If you wish to have some message flows coordinated and some not
coordinated, you are recommended to have them in separate execution
groups. i.e. do not mix coordinated and non coordinated message flows
in the same execution group.
3. NEONMSG domain ( i.e. NEONMSG parser, NEONRulesEvaluation, NEONMap
NEONTransform nodes) cannot, as yet, be used in a globally coordinated
message flow.

Description:
On z/OS, an export file cannot be FTP or imported from a different
operating system from which it was initially exported.
Resolution:
To migrate formats and rules between platforms, observe the
following guidelines:
- Use the NNFie and NNRie utilities provided with New Era of
Networks Support for WMQI to migrate rules and formats between
platforms.
- Do not transfer export files that use different code pages
between platforms by ftp.
NOTE: Characters that are in the syntactic character set, that
is, characters whose code points are invariant between most code
pages may not be converted correctly during an ftp transfer.
For example, the exclamation mark (!) is at code point 0x5A in
some EBCDIC code pages and can be converted as the pipe symbol
(|). NNFie and NNRie use the ICU function calls to convert
character data. These calls are more sensitive to variations
in code points between code pages.

APAR# IY29253 - V5.6 VERSION OF THE NNSY GUIDES MISSING STEPS ON HOW TO
GIVE MULTIPLE USERS DB ACCESS VIA TABLE ALIASES IN DB2.
Description:
The section of information, Assigning Permissions, is missing from the
WMQI V2.1 System Management guide.
Resolution:
The following information needs to be added to the Configuration
chapter:
Assigning Permissions
To assign permissions, you must create more than one user in your
database.
In Oracle
The following procedure describes how to create database users in
Oracle. To access e-Biz Integrator databases, users must be created
and associated with the user role that was created during the e-Biz
Integrator installation.
The process for creating users in Oracle includes:
- Creating users
- Granting roles to users
- Creating synonyms for database objects
Creating Users
You must create users to identify individual user names in the
database.
To create a user, type the following command and press ENTER.
create user identified by ;
where USERNAME and PASSWORD are required parameters.
Granting Roles to Users
To give users permissions to access the database data, you can grant
permissions to an individual user or create roles with certain
permissions and associate users with specific roles.
A role was created for user access to the e-Biz Integrator database
during the installation process. This role uses the following format:
_ROLE
where is your site-specific role name provided during
installation.
To grant the role to each created user:
1. Log in to the database as SYS.
2. Establish a connection to the Oracle instance using SQL Plus and
the SYS username and password.
3. Type the following command to grant the role to the new user:
grant _ROLE to ;
The _ROLE role is granted to the user identified by
USERNAME.
NOTE: For rules permissions, each user can have only one role granted
and this role must be the same for all users.
Creating Synonyms for Database Objects
To create synonyms for the e-Biz Integrator database objects, users
must run a database script.
To run the e-Biz Integrator synonyms SQL script:
1. Locate the nn_synonyms.sql script in the install.sql_rulfmt56\inst_db\tmp
sub-directory of the installation directory. Log in to the directory
where the nn_synonyms.sql resides.
2. Run the nn_synonyms.sql script for each user using the following
command:
sqlplus @@ nn_synonyms.sql> synonyms.log
3. Review the contents of the synonyms.log file for any errors. Ignore
the errors related to dropping synonyms.
In Sybase or SQL Server
The following procedures describe how to create users in Sybase or
Microsoft SQL server.
The commands are run within the command line program isql, and all
references to SQL Server include both Sybase and SQL Server.
Except for changing passwords, these procedures are limited to either
the system administrator or database owner.
Users must have login accounts and a user name in each database they
want to access. Adding login accounts, database users, and object
permissions can be done by the system administrator, security officer,
or database owner. A single person can occupy one or more of these
roles. Check with your database administrator for information about your
specific environment.
The process includes:
- Creating login accounts
- Assigning users to a database
- Defining user groups
Creating Login Accounts
Login accounts give users access to the SQL Server. To access a database,
a login must be assigned to a user name to the databases the user wants
to access. Only a system administrator or security officer has the
authority to create login accounts.
To create a login account, enter the following:
sp_addlogin loginName, password [, defdb [, deflang [,sid [, encryptopt]]]]
where loginName is the sysname with no default,
where password is the login; login is sysname with no default,
where defdb is the default database for the login (database is sysname
with a default of master),
where deflang is the name of the default language assigned when a user
logs in to SQL Server (language is sysname with a default of NULL; if
language is not specified, language is set to the servers current default
language defined by the sp_configure variable default language).
NOTE: Changing the server default language does not change the default
language for existing logins. The language remains the same as the
default language used when the login was added.
where sid is the security identification number (SID) [sid is varbinary
(16) with a default of NULL. If sid is NULL, the system generates a SID
for the new login, specifying a value other than NULL, but the number must
not already exist. SID is useful when you are scripting or moving SQL
Server logins from one server to another and you want the logins to have
the same SID between servers.],
and where encryptopt specifies whether the password is encrypted when
stored in the system tables (encryption_option is varchr(20) and can be
one of these values:
Value Description
NULL (default) The password is encrypted.
skip_encryption The password is not encrypted. The supplied
password was encrypted by an earlier version of
SQL Server and is used for upgrade purposes only.
Assigning Users to a Database
To use a database, the server login must be associated with a user name
in the database. Only the database owner (DBO) can assign users to a
database.
From the database in which the user is to be added, enter the following:
sp_adduser loginName [, nameInDB] [, group]
where the loginName is the user's server login account,
where the nameInDB parameter is the name for the user in the database,
where the nameInDB defaults to the loginName if it is not specified,
and where the group enables the DBO to add the user to an existing group
in the database. If a group is not specified, the user is placed in the
default group, PUBLIC.
NOTES:
- To add permissions both in New Era of Networks Rules and in New Era of
Networks Formatter, you must add users as users not aliases. They must
be members of the same user group.
- SQL Server: Permission errors occur if the user is the same as the
database owner (DBO). the user must be part of NNSYGRP, but cannot be
the DBO.
Defining User Groups
During installation process, NNSYGRP is created for e-Biz Integrator
users. Users must be linked to the NNSYGRP group to access the e-Biz
Integrator databases. In addition, each database user, with the exception
of the database owner, must be granted permissions to access objects
within that database.
To add users to NNSYGRP, do one of the following:
- To use the sp_adduser procedure, enter the following:
sp_adduser loginName [, nameInDB] [, group]
where the loginName is the user's server login account,
where the nameInDB parameter is the name for the user in the database,
where the nameInDB defaults to the loginName if it is not specified,
and where the group enables the DBO to add the user to an existing
group in the database. If a group is not specified, the user is placed
in the default group, PUBLIC.
- To use the sp_changegroup system procedure, enter the following:
sp_changegroup groupName, userName
where groupName is the name of the group to which the user is added,
and where userName is the database user name.
In DB2 UDB
The following procedures describe how to create database users in DB2.
It includes the following:
- Creating users
- Creating aliases for database objects
To allow other users to have access to the objects created during
installation, a new user must be created with aliases to link the user's
objects to the objects in the installer's schema. New users are added to
the NNSYGRP group created during installation. You must be a member of
NNSYGRP in order to access any of the objects owned by another NNSYGRP
member.
Creating Users
To grant user access to the database, you must create additional user
accounts at the local system level.
Create additional users in the NNSYGRP group.
Creating Aliases for Database Objects
Each new user must run a database script to create aliases for the e-Biz
Integrator database objects created during the e-Biz Integrator database
installation.
NOTE: To have assignable permissions, you must be a member of the system
group NNSYGRP.
Ask your database administrator to create aliases for OS/390.
To create aliases using the nn_aliases.sql script:
1. Connect to the e-Biz Integrator database using the user ID of the user
you want to add.
2. Establish a DB2 CLP session.
Example:
db2 connect to user using
3. Locate the nn_aliases.sql script in the \install.sql_rulfmt56\inst_db\tmp
directory of the installation directory.
4. Run the nn_aliases.sql script using the following command:
db2 -f nn_aliases.sql -l aliases.log -t
5. Review the contents of the aliases.log file for any errors. Ignore the
errors related to dropping aliases.
