MQueue connector keep or delete

Post by UCDI »

I have a MQ job that I want to control whether it keeps or deletes the messages on the queue via a parameter. I have clicked in the parameter and selected create new, and it happily populated the field with the parameter and put the new param in the job params with a default and all seems good... except the job will not compile. It just says "property name is required" . If I set it to keep or delete there it runs fine.

I can copy the job and have 2 versions if nothing else but does anyone know what I am missing in the above process to make it accept a list/parameter?

thanks!!

Assuming you're using an MQ Connector try using the multi-colored icon in the third (?) column to add the job parameter. The icon only appears when that row in the grid is selected.

I think I did that. Inside the MQ connector, there is a button-column with 3 red arrows on the button. I used that and picked 'create new' which build a pre-generated list-parameter and added it to the job parameters. I set the default to 'keep' and its all there, but it will not compile.

I gave up and made 2 connectors for now, with some smoke and mirrors on the deletion side to determine if it is enabled or not. But I would still love to understand if this is a bug or something I don't fully know how to use.

Did you ping IBM Support for this?

Not yet. I wanted to make sure its not just me not knowing where to click.
sigh. Their support ... leaves a lot to be desired. Just getting them to admit there is a problem to bother with fixing is a good month of frustration.
