Can someone point me to an example of writing an RFH2 header using Datastage TX version 7.5? I understand how to do this using a programming API but I'm in the dark about doing it with TX.

Well, answered my own question. :-)

I used this doc to define the type tree and map:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv6/v6r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.mq.csqzaw.doc/csqzaw1481.htm

It also helped to read some C# code that builds one:

For what it's worth, doing this with xmscript is REALLY easy...all the API header stuff is hidden, you just supply the xml to go into the header.

I'm not familiar with 'RFH2' But based on your comment '...you just supply the xml to go into the header.' you should have been able to import your xml to your type tree and been done with it.

They are typically used with JMS messages, but there is a user field that can be used for app specific stuff. I use it to supply information about the data in the message. The user field is xml but there is some binary header information that must be created as well.

Using Metastorm's PM4Data I don't need to get down to that level, I just turn on a "has headers" flag and throw it the XML. I'm new to TX and I assumed the MQ adapter should have had that feature. Maybe it does in later versions?

Hi,

Can you provide the Type Tree and map you used to populate RFH2 header to put a message to queue.

The link you have provided no longer valid.

Thanks for the help.
