Selecting Message Queue Transformations

Problem

You want to select the transformations that are appropriate for a Microsoft or WebSphere message queue that contains information that you need to either send or receive.

Solution

Four transformations are provided in SAS Data Integration Studio to facilitate the processing of message queues. Select the transformations that you need for your process from the table in the Tasks section.

Tasks

Message Queue Transformations
Transformation
Purpose
Microsoft Queue Writer transformation
Enables writing files in binary mode, tables, or structured lines of text to the Microsoft MQ messaging system. The queue and queue manager objects that are necessary to get to the messaging system are defined in SAS Management Console.
Websphere Queue Writer transformation
Enables writing files in binary mode, tables, or structured lines of text to the WebSphere MQ messaging system. The queue and queue manager objects that are necessary to get to the messaging system are defined in SAS Management Console.
Microsoft Queue Reader transformation
Enables content from a Microsoft MQ message queue to be delivered to SAS Data Integration Studio. If the message is being sent into a table, then the message queue content is sent to a table or a SAS Data Integration Studio transformation. If the message is being sent to a macro variable or file, then these files or macro variables can be referenced by a later step.
Websphere Queue Reader transformation
Enables content from a WebSphere MQ message queue to be delivered to SAS Data Integration Studio. If the message is being sent into a table, then the message queue content is sent to a table or a SAS Data Integration Studio transformation. If the message is being sent to a macro variable or a SAS data set file, then these data set files or macro variables can be referenced by a later step.
