Running This Sample in StreamBase Studio

Note

To use this sample, you must have access to a valid IBM WebSphere MQ server.

  1. In the Project Explorer view, open the sample you just loaded.

    If you see red marks on a project folder, wait a moment for the project to load its features.

    If the red marks do not resolve themselves after a minute, select the project, right-click, and select Maven>Update Project from the context menu.

  2. Open the src/main/eventflow/packageName folder.

  3. Open the ibm-websphere-mq.sbapp file.

  4. Select the MQInput adapter icon to open the Properties view for the adapter. Select the Adapter Properties tab and enter valid values for Host Name, Port Number, Queue Manager, Queue Name, and Channel.

  5. Repeat the previous step for the MQOutput adapter. Enter values for Reply To Queue Manager and Reply To Queue Name as well.

  6. Click the Run button. This opens the SB Test/Debug perspective and starts the module.

  7. In the Test/Debug Perspective, observe the Output Streams view. If connectivity to your IBM WebSphere MQ server is configured correctly, look for tuples emitted on the InputStatus and OutputStatus streams indicating the adapter has connected successfully.

  8. In the Manual Input view, select the SendMessage stream. Enter a value in the Payload field, set the MyTuple field to null, and click Send Data.

  9. Observe that the payload value is emitted on the ReceivedMessage stream.

  10. When done, press F9 or click the Terminate EventFlow Fragment button.
