Map MQMD Report fields to JMS provider-specific properties

JMS applications can use report messages as a form of managed request/response processing, to give remote feedback to producers on the outcome of their send operations and the fate of their messages. A JMS application can request different types of report message by setting JMS_IBM_Report_Xxxx message properties and options.

JMS applications can request the following types of report message by setting the appropriate JMS_IBM_Report_Xxxx message properties and options. The options have the same general syntax and meaning:

MQRO_report-type

A report message of the indicated type is generated containing the WebSphere MQ message descriptor (MQMD) of the original message. It does not contain any message body data.

MQRO_report-type_WITH_DATA

A report message of the indicated type is generated containing the MQMD, any MQ headers, and 100 bytes of body data.

MQRO_report-type_WITH_FULL_DATA

A report message of the indicated type is generated containing all data from the original message.

Use the following prefix with each option: com.ibm.websphere.sib.api.jms.

For example, to request a Confirm on delivery (COD) report message with full data, the JMS application must set JMS_IBM_Report_COD to the value com.ibm.websphere.sib.api.jms.MQRO_COD_WITH_FULL_DATA.

For each type of report message, the following table shows the JMS_IBM_Report_Xxxx message property that a JMS application can set, and the MQMD Report field options that map to the property.

Type of report message	Description	JMS_IBM_Report_Xxxx message property and options
Exception	Send a report message if the request message cannot be put to the target queue. The exception report messages are generated when a message has been rerouted to an exception destination.	JMS_IBM_Report_Exception MQRO_EXCEPTION MQRO_EXCEPTION_WITH_DATA MQRO_EXCEPTION_WITH_FULL_DATA
Discard	Discard the original request message rather than sending it to an exception destination. We can use this option with the JMS_IBM_Report_Exception property set to MQRO_EXCEPTION_WITH_FULL_DATA to return an undeliverable request message to its sender.	JMS_IBM_Report_Discard_Msg TRUE FALSE
Expiration	Send a report message if the request message passes its expiry time.	JMS_IBM_Report_Expiration MQRO_EXPIRATION MQRO_EXPIRATION_WITH_DATA MQRO_EXPIRATION_WITH_FULL_DATA
Confirm on arrival (COA)	Send a report message when the request message has been put to the target queue. For publish/subscribe messaging, the COA report message is generated only on the producers messaging engine. Therefore, such reports are relevant only to local subscriptions. For point-to-point messaging, COA messages are generated when the message arrives at the final destination. For partitioned queues, the report message is generated only when the put operation has committed and a final destination has therefore been selected. Any With_Data or With_Full_Data report options specified are ignored; the COA report message deals only with message headers. If a forward-routing path is used, the COA message are generated when the message arrives at the final destination in the path.	JMS_IBM_Report_COA MQRO_COA MQRO_COA_WITH_DATA MQRO_COA_WITH_FULL_DATA
Confirm on delivery (COD)	Send a report message when the request message has been removed from the queue or topic space by a message consumer. For publish/subscribe messaging, the COD message is generated when all subscribers have received the request message. Therefore, there is one COD message generated for every COA. When a message is consumed by a subscriber, the reference count of the message on the topic space is reduced. When the reference count reaches zero, the message is removed from the topic space then a COD report message is generated. For point-to-point messaging, the COD message is generated after the message has been successfully received by a consuming application. Any With_Data or With_Full_Data report options specified are ignored; the COD report message deals only with message headers.	JMS_IBM_Report_COD MQRO_COD MQRO_COD_WITH_DATA MQRO_COD_WITH_FULL_DATA
Positive action notification (PAN)	Ask the consumer application to send a report message when it has successfully processed the request message.	JMS_IBM_Report_PAN TRUE FALSE
Negative action notification (NAN)	Ask the consumer application to send a report message if it has not successfully processed the request message.	JMS_IBM_Report_NAN TRUE FALSE

The requesting application can control other aspects of the report message as follows:

• How the message Id is generated for the report message and any reply message:

  MQRO_New_Msg_Id

  This the default. A new message Id is generated for the report message.

  MQRO_Pass_Msg_Id

  The message Id of the report message is set to the message Id of the request message.

• How the correlation Id of the report or reply message is to be set.

  MQRO_Copy_Msg_Id_To_Correl_Id

  This the default. the correlation Id of the report message is set to the message Id of the request message.

  MQRO_Pass_Correl_Id

  The correlation Id of the report message is set to the correlation Id of the request message.
