Hi,
I have gone thru some topics related to this, but I'm still not sure how to get it done. Apologies!
I'm reading a message with one of the elements being a base64Binary and that has an XML message. I wanted to extract few values using ESQL and put it into a queue. Is there a way to do it in ESQL? Even if not how can I achieve this?
Thanks! Deepak |

Yes. There are a few ways which you can know this information.

Yes, as of 7.0.0.2, ESQL has had BASE64ENCODE and BASE64DECODE functions which you can use. You can find the documentation for these function in the infocenter.
Kind regards,

I'm still running on 7.0.0. A sample code could help?

Message Broker version numbers have four digits. Update your toolkit and runtime to 7.0.0.4.
"A sample code could help?" Sample code? Did you read the Infocentre articles?

The Infocenter helped. I confused with picking up things from different posts... But it was straight easy.
Here's the ex from Infocenter:
Examples
The base64 encoding of a BLOB source string and subsequent decoding back to BLOB is shown by the following example:
DECLARE original BLOB X'48656c6c6f';
DECLARE encoded CHARACTER BASE64ENCODE(original);
DECLARE decoded BLOB BASE64DECODE(encoded);
The base64 encoding of a CHARACTER source string that is first automatically converted to UTF-8 and later decoded is shown by the following example:
DECLARE original CHARACTER 'Hello World!';
DECLARE encoded CHARACTER BASE64ENCODE(original);
DECLARE decoded BLOB BASE64DECODE(encoded);
DECLARE decoded2 CHARACTER CAST(decoded AS CHARACTER CCSID 1208); |

Need more help!!
I have this XML coming in as base64 along with other elements.

And here's the code that I have to read this as Char -
DECLARE DecodedAcord BLOB base64Decode(InputRoot.XMLNSC.ns17:submit103.acord103);
DECLARE Decoded2Acord CHARACTER CAST(DecodedAcord AS CHARACTER CCSID 1208);
I can't get to extract the elements that I need from this XML, ie. from Decoded2Acord field. While I'm trying to find out a way to do this, your help/ suggestions will be of much help.
Thanks!

Can you post your code within [c o d e] tags?
Parse the blob into XML. Blob is a blob and a blob is not a message tree.

What am I doing wrong here? |

You have two different problems to solve.
a) how to decode your base64 data into a BLOB
b) how to parse the decoded BLOB to produce a message tree ( only required when the base64 is an XML document )
a) is a solved problem. If you want to avoid writing ESQL for this then you can ask XMLNSC to do it automatically. Just switch on validation and set 'Build tree using schema types' on the input node. This only works if your XML schema is accurate.
b) is easy. Use ESQL's CREATE statement with a PARSE clause to parse the BLOB into a message tree. Search this forum for examples - this question comes up all the time. |

Use Tagged Encoded Length which supports handling AL3 messages containing message groups unknown to the message dictionary.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.etools.mft.doc%2Fac00590_.htm
Alternately, I always recommend people take the WMB Dev I and Dev II training classes.
WebSphere Message Broker has the ability to leverage ACORD and other open standards with support for ACORD AL3, CSV, EDIFACT, FIX, HL7, SWIFT, TLOG, and X12.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v8r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.etools.mft.doc%2Fad09520_.htm
Each group with an ACORD AL3 message has a header consisting of a one-digit number, three letters, plus a three-digit total length count. These first seven characters can be modeled as a tag. The data within the headers is fixed length.

Thank you for the suggestions. It helped, I was able to parse the BLOB into an XML using this code:
| Code: |
CREATE LASTCHILD OF OutputRoot.XMLNSC.CheckInMessage.Acord103 DOMAIN('XMLNSC') PARSE(DecodedAcord, InputProperties.Encoding, InputProperties.CodedCharSetId, 'BLOB', 'XML');
|
And the Output looked like this:
| Code: |
XMLNSC

LastName:CHARACTER:Test
FirstName:CHARACTER:User
PDF:CHARACTER:JVBERi0xLjQNJeLjz9MNCjI1ODAgM

Sorry, couldn't get the alignment right.
Now I'm trying to read the individual elements from this.
| Code: |
| SET Environment.Variables.TestVariable = Acord103.XMLNSC.TXLife.TXLifeRequest.TransRefGUID; |
Can't get to read the element, what am I doing wrong here? Might be silly, I think, but trying to get over it.
Cheers! |
