MQ06002S MQ add support for Message Translation by the Queue Manager

TPFUG_Req_Number: MQ06002S
Contact Originator Id: mike.mansell@aexp.com
Abstract: This MQ Series enhancement will add support for message translation by the Queue Manager when requested by the Get function with convert option
Description: MQ series on distributed platforms, specifically those utilizing JMS (Java Messaging Services) expect the receiving Queue Manager to provide message translations to the header and payload as appropriate for that receiving platform and environment. The indication that message translation is needed is obtained by interrogating the MQ message header MQMD:CCSID, for a value different than the codepage supported by TPF(i.e. 37).
Alternative Solutions: Application specific code that would be client specific and not a standard implementation of MQ Series capabilities.
Solution Considerations: The Get (With Convert) function call would indicate to the Queue Manager to translate the next message on queue from the receiving codepage found in MQMD:CCSID and convert to the specified codepage on TPF. If the codepage is the same, no conversion takes place. This translation would treat the message as a text string and would not be concerned with individual data element attributes.

    IBM does not intend to implement this in the foreseeable future.
