Setting up an MQI conversation
To set up an MQI conversation, first open the settings for the Proc Dialog part, then fill in the following fields on the Destination page of the notebook:
Queue manager name
The name of the queue manager instance that uniquely identifies the queue manager to be used within the network. This name can be up to 48 characters long and is case sensitive.
Request queue name
The queue used for client requests. If the Server check box is checked, this is the queue from which you read incoming requests. If the Server check box is not checked, this is the queue to which you write outgoing requests.
This name is case sensitive and can be up to 48 characters long. If this field is blank, the request queue will not be opened for input or output. If you want to use a single queue for both input and output, specify the same name in both the Request queue name and Reply queue name fields.
Reply queue name
The queue used for server replies. If the Server check box is checked, this is the queue to which you write outgoing replies. If the Server check box is not checked, this is the queue from which you read incoming replies.
This name is case sensitive and can be up to 48 characters long. If this field is blank, the reply queue will not be opened for either input or output. If you want to use a single queue for both input and output, specify the same name in both the Request queue name and Reply queue name fields.
Alternate user id
This field contains an alternate user id to be used, if any, that is used to check authorization when the message queue is opened. This is used in place of the user ID that the application is currently running under.
Sync point processing
Indicates, when checked, that the queue manager supports syncpoint participation.
Server
Indicates, when checked, that this application acts as a server. This determines the direction in which requests and replies flow.
If Server is checked, Request queue is the input queue from which client requests can be read, and Reply queue is the output queue to which replies to the client can be written.
If Server is unchecked (indicating a client application), Request queue is the output queue to which requests to the server can be written, and Reply queue is the input queue from which replies from the server can be read.
On the Data Attributes page:
Code page
The character code page used by the remote system. The default code page is the current code page for the system.
Buffer length
The size of the memory buffer VA Smalltalk should allocate for the data sent to and received from the server. For a proc dialog, the buffer size must be at least as large as the total size of the record used by the remote program logic.
The default value for this field is 1024.
Big endian
A check box that determines the byte order for integers sent to the partner. If checked, the partner uses a BigEndian format; otherwise, the partner uses LittleEndian format.
