Defining a keyword to be used as the container of a subflow version

You can use a keyword to add more information to a message flow or subflow.

About this task

The information that is passed through keywords is only accessible at run time when the object for which it has been defined is deployed and is running in the IBM® Integration Bus runtime environment.

You can check the value of a keyword in any of the following ways:
  • In the WebSphere® Message Broker Console, by using the mqsireadbar command to read the properties stored in the BAR file.
  • In the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, on the properties of a deployed message flow or subflow as last deployed to a particular integration node.
  • In the runtime environment, if you enable user trace for that message flow.

Procedure

To define a keyword that you can use as the container of a subflow version, complete the following step:

Define the syntax of the keyword as follows: $MQSI name of your subflow Subflow Version = Version xxxx MQSI$ where name of your subflow is the name of your subflow; and xxxx is your subflow version identifier.

You can define your own keyword to define the version. For guidance on defining keywords, see Adding version information and custom keyword values to your development resources. You can define your own naming convention to assign a version value to a subflow.

What to do next

Use the keyword to set the version of a subflow. For more information, see Versioning a subflow by using a keyword in the Label property of a Passthrough node or Versioning a subflow by using a keyword as a Passthrough node name.
