The following IBM MQSeries Family SupportPacs have been released.

IA76: MQSeries Integrator - Java Plug-in

This SupportPac provides an MQSeries Integrator Plug-In node that allows
custom Java applications to be created that can be called when processing a
Message Flow from within MQSeries Integrator by implementing a set of Java
classes. These Java classes implement all the methods provided by the
MQSeries Integrator C APIs while allowing the portability and ease of use
of the Java environment.

The node is shipped with applications that add support for the following
software products:

ESQL Interpreter/development environment.
MQSeries Adapter Offering LDAP repository.
Enterprise Java Bean
Tivoli SecureWay Policy Director version 3.2
MQSeries Adapter Offering Tracing
XSLT message transformation using LotusXSL/Xalan implementation.
WebSphere Business-to-Business Integrator Gateway Logging.
WebSphere Business-to-Business Integrator Exception Logging.
WebSphere Business-to-Business Integrator Audit Logging.
WebServices Soap calls using the IBM WebServices Toolkit.

MA7N: MQSeries support for Microsoft SOAP Toolkit

This SupportPac provides a client/server pair of COM libraries to extend
the functionality of MQSeries for Windows NT and Windows 2000. There are
two main purposes of the SupportPac:

COM monitor
The COM monitor allows an application developer to create a COM component
using an interface defined in this SupportPac. When registered with the
server, whenever an MQSeries message is received on a particular queue, the
COM component will be created and called. This behaviour is similar to an
MQSeries trigger monitor.

SOAP Handler
The SupportPac can also be used in conjunction with the Microsoft SOAP
Toolkit to create, transport, process and respond to SOAP messages. By
using the MQSeries SOAP Client library as the transport mechanism, existing
applications can easily be re-routed to transport via an MQSeries queue,
and processed by the SOAP handler on the destination server. The SOAP
handler uses the Microsoft SOAP Toolkit then to interpret and parse the
SOAP message, lookup the call in specified WSDL and WSML files, invoke the
SOAP object and return the reply back via MQSeries to the caller.

WD01: Business Process Modeling with MQSeries Workflow

This SupportPac provides an introduction to the creation of business
process modeling using IBM MQSeries Workflow. It gives a step by step
overview of how to implement simple processes using MQSeries Workflow and
also covers more advanced process models. It is intended for business
analysts and process modelers with a basic knowledge about MQSeries
Workflow.

The following IBM MQSeries Family SupportPacs have been updated:

IA0H: MQSeries Integrator - Postit Plug-In

This SupportPac supplies a plug-in node that provides an alternative
mechanism for saving and restoring context information, without the use of
either queues or database tables. It has been updated to support Sun
Solaris.

IA71: MQSeries Integrator for Windows NT - Static subscriber registration
utility

This SupportPac supplies an MQSeries Integrator for Windows NT V2 utility
called RegSub that provides the capability to register static subscribers
for MQSI V2 publishers. It has been updated with the addition of MQSeries
Integrator V2 Subscription Point option.

IA72: MQSeries Integrator - Aggregator Plug-in

This SupportPac supplies an Aggregator function that provides a mechanism
for coordinating the delivery of reply messages so that all expected
replies are delivered as a single message if replies are received within
the allotted time, or not at all if the specified timeout period has
expired. It has been updated to support Sun Solaris.

ID04: MQSeries Integrator V2 - DTD import utility

The SupportPac provides an offline utility that will accept a DTD as input
and will import the message structure into the MRM repository. The imported
definition can then be used to build message flows that use the imported
information. The following changes have been made in this release:

Fixed bug where program was not properly detecting duplicate attributes.
Added loop detection to avoid stack overflows.
Added additional checking for previous errors to suppress further
processing.

IH03: MQSeries Integrator V2 - Message display and test utility

The following changes have been made in this release:

Added support for browse and non-destructive get, including browse next
on data tab
Added display of queue depth after MQGet operations
Added support for cluster open options
Fixed bug in rfhutil.exe when entering Correlation Id manually
Fixed bug where MQCapture program was ignoring msgcount parameter

MO71: MQSeries for Windows NT - Remote queue administrator

This SupportPac provides a simple, easy to configure GUI interface to
administer MQSeries Queue Managers. The following changes have been made in
this release:

Message Copy, Move and Delete added to the current Browse capability
Support for large messages and message range
Object Lists can be horizontally scrolled.
Filters now allow the temporary addition of fields to the list display
using the '#' character.
Queue Managers can be logically grouped in the main window
Each list type can have a default filter
The last 10 names of each object type are kept in a pull-down list
Single thread mode of connecting to Queue Manager has been reintroduced
Monitoring frequency can be done at two intervals. A short interval
while the remote queue manager is responding and a longer interval when
there is no response.
Some level of authority control is provided where the program can be run
in a mode which prevents the user from accidentally issuing damaging
commands.

MO91: MQSeries Services - Support tools

This SupportPac provides a set of support tools that may be helpful when
using MQSeries Services. It has been updated to support AS/400
environments.

MP76: MQSeries for Windows NT and Windows 2000 V5.2 - Performance
highlights

This SupportPac provides a report that highlights the potential performance
benefits introduced in MQSeries V5.2 and explains the circumstances in
which they can be exploited. The following changes have been made in this
release:

Addition of data for Windows 2000.
Inclusion of data on client connection limits, maximum message rates
with large numbers of clients, and client storage costs
