When you deploy a message flow that contains MQeInput and MQeOutput
nodes on
WebSphere
Message Broker Version 6.0 the nodes are converted
to MQInput and MQOutput nodes (for full details see
Deploying an MQe message flow).
Attention: The use of message flows that contain MQeInput and MQeOutput
nodes in WebSphere
Message Broker Version 6.0 is deprecated. The behavior
that is described here is intended only for when you are deploying from Version 6.0 to a previous version, and to provide
a route for migration. Redesign your flows to remove the MQe nodes and replace
them with MQ nodes that are configured to your own specifications and coordinated
with your MQe Gateway configuration.
When
the MQe nodes are converted into MQ nodes at deployment time, the queue
manager name and queue name attributes are preserved, and you must
create a configuration on the broker queue manager to handle them.
For
example, suppose you have a message flow like this simplified one that contains
MQeInput and MQeOutput nodes:

The following diagram shows this message flow
connected directly to MQe devices, as it would be used on a previous version
broker:

When you deploy this message flow to a Version 6.0 broker,
create a configuration as shown here:

Configuration
details:
- Configure your broker queue manager with the following parameters:
- A local queue named B
- A remote queue definition R with these attributes:
- Remote Queue Manager = C
- Remote Queue = none (leave blank)
- Transmission Queue = T
This remote queue definition will match all messages that are destined
for any queue on queue manager C and put them to the transmission queue.
- Configure your MQe gateway with the following parameters:
- Provision for accepting messages from an MQe device with queue manager
A and queue B, transforming the format from MQe to MQ, and putting them onto
a bridge queue
- A bridge queue that puts messages to queue B on the broker queue manager
- A listener that reads messages from transmission queue T on the broker
queue manager
- Provision for transforming the message format of the messages on queue
T from MQ to MQe format, and sending them to the MQe device with queue manager
C and queue D
