MQ

If you're trying to strip data from files, perhaps XML tags, you could try QLOAD from MQGem. See QLOAD: Using delimited files

Alternatively, if I've got the wrong end of the stick, perhaps you can give a small example of what you are trying to do, so we can more fully understand how to help you.

Cheers,

Hello Tim:

Hum! That is good to know that the Java utility MQFile2Msg is included in this SupportPac. It just tried the utility and it worked as designed! 

May I suggest that you include a reference to MQFile2Msg in the Abstract and in the Description for the SupportPac?

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/mh06-websphere-mq-trace-tools
MH06: WebSphere MQ - Trace Tools

Thank you very much!

Hi Amit,

If you are looking for a tool that can take the contents of a file and PUT it to a queue, another option is MQFile2Msg in the MH06 supportpac. It is a simple Java program that can perform this functionality. There is doc in the supportpac on how to use it. Since it is Java based, it run basically anywhere. 

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Amit,

it looks like you just want to put MQSTR format messages (CSV, XML and JSON all contain printable string data) so that makes your life easier.

While rfhutil would allow you to do that with a GUI locally on Windows, you rightly point out that you can't use it on ubuntu. However, if you create a SVRCONN channel to allow a client connection, and can run rfhutilc (the client version) on a Windows machine on the network, that would let you use the tooling you are familiar with to complete the task.

Alternatively, if you are happy to use a command line tool, the former support pack program 'q' is still available and can be used on pretty much any platform that supports MQ. You just have to compile it yourself, but this is very easy on linux as the included make file is targeted for linux.

You can find q together with qload at: https://github.com/ibm-messaging/mq-q-qload.

If you have time to set up the security around mqweb REST API, then that is the more modern way to allow test tools to push messages onto queues. curl will do the job with --data or --data-binary, You have to sort out authentication and TLS though.

If you can't get rfhutilc.exe to connect from a Windows system but you want to use a GUI, several other responses have mentioned commercial options which I have used in the past.

HI Daniel,

Thanks for trying to help. I ran the command you suggested by it is not placing my.xml on the MQ queue.

I want to be able to place message on an IBM WebSphere queue running on a queue manager.

Maybe you are looking for the paste command:

$ cat my.xml 
<main>
   <foo>bar</foo>
</main>

$ paste -s my.xml 
<main>    <foo>bar</foo> </main>

$ cat my.xml 
<main>
   <foo>bar</foo>
</main>

$ paste -s my.xml 
<main>    <foo>bar</foo> </main>

$ cat my.xml 
<main>
   <foo>bar</foo>
</main>

$ paste -s my.xml 
<main>    <foo>bar</foo> </main>

$ cat my.xml 
<main>
   <foo>bar</foo>
</main>

$ paste -s my.xml 
<main>    <foo>bar</foo> </main>
