Hi all,
Quick question. I have an MQInput node listening to a local queue on a
Solaris QM with option to Convert CCSID to 1208.
95% of the files I send from my MVS QM (ccsid 500) to this qm go thru fine
and gets converted. But sometimes one message gets held up and then routed
to dead-letter and this shows up in mq log (2times per message):
02/07/03 14:39:30
AMQ6174: The library /var/mqm/exits//MQSTR was not found. The queue manager
will continue without this module.
EXPLANATION:
The dynamically loadable file /var/mqm/exits//MQSTR was not found.
ACTION:
Check that the file exists and is either fully qualified or is in the
appropriate directory.

Any ideas why or what this means? Thanks for your time!

Make sure the Format field in the MQMD is MQSTR follwed by 3 blanks or nulls.
Cheers,

The error messages indicate that MQSeries is looking for a conversion exit to handle the message.
Make sure that the message format is SPACE padded, not NULL padded. |

Even better is not to use the Convert-options and let the conversion to the broker instead of the queue-manager.

Although I haven't tested it, I expect that letting MQ do the string conversion would be more efficient than having the broker do it.

That is not entirely true, the broker uses UCS-2 as encoding, so UTF-8 is translated again to UCS-2, this translation howerver will be quick as this conversion can be done by bit-manipulation.
There are more reasons for converting by the broker:
- It is the recommended method and there are knwon issues when using the convert option (especially when converting from SBCS to DBCS or UTF-8, see readme.txt in the WMQI directory, 'All operating systems' section, item 30).
- You don't have to worry about the conversion and what CCSID to use as long as the input message has the correct CCSID.
- The conversion depends on messagedomain instead of MQMD.Format, BLOB isn't converted, XML is converted, MRM is converted according to the message definition.
- Non-text message can be converted (MRM-messages)
- The conversion is done during parsing, when a message is only partially parsed or not parsed at all it is converted partially or not at all.
- When converting by the qmanager to a non-Unicode CCSID you might compromise the message content.
