  • 1.  Is there a difference between XML over MQ Virtualization?

    Hi All,

     

    We are trying to do MQ Virtualization and for one of the service it says: XML over MQ virtualization. Is there a difference how message is being dropped on Queue when it's XML over MQ?

     

    Could any one tell me what changes I have to make in LISA MQ Virtual service - if required?

    Hi,

     

    No, no difference basically.

     

    The term XML over MQ just refers to the format of the payload which is in this case an XML string as opposed to a Cobol Copybook string which we often find as the MQ payload (for those customer's where mainframe is part of enterprise architecture)

     

    Obviously, if the payload is XML then you'll probably need the XML request DPH (as opposed to the request CopyBook DPH), and there would not be a response-side DPH because the responses in the VSI would be already XML and can be put on the queue as-is (as opposed to a cobol response payload where the VSI would contain XML-representations of the copybook payload which need a response-side CopyBook DPH to transform then back into its proper data format)

     

    Cheers,
