New: MQ Message Replication v2.2.0

July 23, 2020 Roger Lacroix

Capitalware Inc. would like to announce the official release of MQ Message Replication v2.2.0. This is a FREE upgrade for ALL licensed users of MQ Message Replication. MQ Message Replication (MQMR) will clone messages being written (via MQPUT or MQPUT1 API calls) to an application’s output queue and MQMR will write the exact same messages to ‘n’ target queues (‘n’ can be up to 100). When MQMR replicates a message both the message data and the message’s MQMD structure will be cloned.

For more information about MQMR, please go to:
https://www.capitalware.com/mqmr_overview.html

    Changes for MQ Message Replication v2.2.0:

  • Fixed a bug handling MQPUT1 calls not correctly opening target queues
  • Fixed a bug handling MQPUT1 calls and ForMQPut1DoMQPut1 = Y not setting ObjectName correctly.
  • Fixed an issue in the subroutine that removes trailing blanks
  • Fixed an issue with the logging framework
  • Enhanced the code for dumping the pointers passed into exit.
  • Fixed a bug in mq2sdb not correctly resetting prepared statement after use.
  • Add 2 new columns to the IBM_MQ_MESSAGES table: Source_QMgr_Id & Source_Queue_Id.
  • Add 2 new tables to the database: SOURCE_QMGR_NAMES & SOURCE_QUEUE_NAMES.
  • Added new keyword ‘IncludeSourceInfo’ for mq2sdb that will cause the source QMgr & queue names to be written to database.
  • Added new keyword ‘UseSelect’, ‘SelectQMgrName’ & ‘SelectQName’ for sdb2mq that will control which messages are loaded into the queue.
  • Fixed issue when an invalid or expired license key is used
  • Fixed an issue with default exit path
