EAI MQSeries Transport -Session 2

In the previous post we have talked about the outbound transport for MQ Series In this post we are going to cover

Inbound MQ Series.

Prerequisite: 

• The EAI MQSeries Server Transport must be up and running, it connects only to IBM WebSphere MQ Server software. 
• The MQ and Siebel Server must be running on the same machine.
•  The IBM MQ team must provide you the following details.
• Physical Queue Name
• Queue Manager Name 
• You must have set up a Dispatch Rule either a dispatch service or  a Dispatch  workflow.

Let’s start with configuring the Siebel Application to be ready to receive the data.

First we need to set up the profiles for the Connection Subsystem and the Data Handling Subsystem for the 

MQ. 

We need to setup both data and connection subsystems while configuring the receiver system.Steps for setup are explained below:

Connection SubSystem.

a)     Login to Siebel Application (Server)

b)    Go to Sitemap>Administration-Server Configuration>Enterprises>Profile Configuration.

c)     Set Connection Subsytem and DataHandling Subsystem parameters for MQ Server Receiver.

d)    Following screenshot shows how to set parameters for 

     

       Siebel_MQ_Receiver_Response_ConnSubsys

The key parameters you need here are:

Required: MQSeries Physical Queue Name (Details are provided by MQ Team).

Required: MQSeries Queue Manager Name (Details are provided by MQ Team).

Optional: MQSeries Response Physical Queue Name (Details are provided by MQ Team).

Data Handling SubSystem

                   

                 

 

 

The key parameters here to note are

Service Method to Execute: Name of the method of the below Dispatch service which you want to use.

Service to Execute: Name of the Dispatch Business Service.

                                                       Or 

              Workflow Process to Execute: 

In case you want the Dispatch workflow to handle the message.We have created a sample workflow

 

In the above steps we have configured the Profiles for the Connection Subsystem and Data Handling Subsystem

now we will be creating the Receiver System.

a)     Go to Component Definitions tab, and set following component parameters as shown below:

b)    Receiver Method Name : ReceiveDispatch

c)     Receiver Service Name : EAI MQSeries Server Transport

d)    Receiver Connection Subsystem: Siebel_MQ_Receiver_Response_ConnSubsys(Connection subsystem profile created above).

e)     Receiver Data Handling Subsystem : Siebel_Mq_Response_DataHandling_Subsys

(Connection data handling subsystem profile created above).

 

With this the receiver is not set up and is ready to receive the message sent from the external system using the IBM WebSphere MQ Server software. 

This concludes our series of EAI MQSeries Transport.
