Rules (patterns and actions)

 

Here is an example rule from a DLQ handler rules table:

 PERSIST(MQPER_PERSISTENT) REASON (MQRC_PUT_INHIBITED) +
  ACTION (RETRY) RETRY (3)

This rule instructs the DLQ handler to make three attempts to deliver to its destination queue any persistent message that was put on the DLQ because MQPUT and MQPUT1 were inhibited.

All keywords that we can use on a rule are described in the rest of this section. Note the following:

• The default value for a keyword, if any, is underlined. For most keywords, the default value is * (asterisk), which matches any value.

• The vertical line (|) separates alternatives, only one of which can be specified.

• All keywords except ACTION are optional.

This section begins with a description of the pattern-matching keywords (those against which messages on the DLQ are matched), and then describes the action keywords (those that determine how the DLQ handler is to process a matching message).

• The pattern-matching keywords
  

• The action keywords
