This sample demonstrates the use of the TIBCO StreamBase® Adapter for IBM MQ Series.
You must obtain the required IBM MQ Java libraries directly from IBM. The easiest way to make the IBM MQ API accessible to
StreamBase is to copy the required API JARs into the StreamBase installation in the lib/ext directory.
If copying the JAR files to lib/ext is impractical, then for running IBM MQ adapter applications in StreamBase Studio, you must add the IBM MQ JARs to the Java Build Path. For running IBM MQ adapter applications from the command line, you must add the IBM MQ API JARs to the server's CLASSPATH,
either by setting an environment variable, or via the <java-vm> element of the server configuration file.
Obtain the following required IBM MQ JAR files from an IBM MQ Series 7.0 installation, or directly from IBM:
com.ibm.mq.commonservices.jar |
com.ibm.mq.headers.jar |
com.ibm.mq.jar |
com.ibm.mq.jmqi.jar |
com.ibm.mq.pcf.jar |
connector.jar |
Note
To use this sample, you must have access to a valid IBM WebSphere MQ server.
-
In the Package Explorer view, double-click
ibm-websphere-mq.sbapp. -
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.
-
Repeat the previous two steps for the MQOutput adapter. Enter values for Reply To Queue Manager and Reply To Queue Name as well.
-
Click the
Run button. This opens the SB Test/Debug perspective and starts the application.
-
In the Test/Debug Perspective, open the Application Output view. If connectivity to your IBM WebSphere MQ server is configured correctly, look for tuples emitted on the
InputStatusandOutputStatusstreams indicating the adapter has connected successfully. -
In the Manual Input view, select the
SendMessagestream. Enter a value in thePayloadfield, set theMyTuplefield to null, and press Send Data. -
Observe that the payload value is emitted on the
ReceivedMessagestream. -
When done, press F9 or click the
Stop Running Application button.
This section describes how to run the sample in UNIX terminal windows or Windows command prompt windows. On Windows, be sure to use the StreamBase Command Prompt from the Start menu as described in the Test/Debug Guide, not the default command prompt.
-
Open three terminal windows on UNIX, or three StreamBase Command Prompts on Windows. In each window, navigate to your workspace copy of the sample, as described above.
-
In window 1, type:
sbd ibm-websphere-mq.sbapp -
In window 2, type:
sbc dequeue -vThis window displays the tuples dequeued from the adapters' output ports.
-
In window 3, send a message to the MQ server:
echo This is the payload,null | sbc enqueue SendMessage -
Observe in windows 2 that a tuple containing the payload value from above is emitted on the
ReceivedMessagestream. -
In window 3, type the following command to terminate the server and dequeuer:
sbadmin shutdown
In StreamBase Studio, import this sample with the following steps:
-
From the top menu, click → .
-
Select this sample from the Embedded Input Adapters list.
-
Click OK.
StreamBase Studio creates a project for this sample.
When you load the sample into StreamBase Studio, Studio copies the sample project's files to your Studio workspace, which is normally part of your home directory, with full access rights.
Important
Load this sample in StreamBase Studio, and thereafter use the Studio workspace copy of the sample to run and test it, even when running from the command prompt.
Using the workspace copy of the sample avoids permission problems. The default workspace location for this sample is:
studio-workspace/sample_ibm-websphere-mqSee Default Installation Directories for the default location of studio-workspace on your system.
In the default TIBCO StreamBase installation, this sample's files are initially installed in:
streambase-install-dir/sample/ibm-websphere-mqSee Default Installation Directories for the default location of studio-workspace on your system.
