Message properties – output connectors

Messages from WebSphere MQ output connectors will contain the message properties described in the table below (if these properties are available in the StreamServer job).

Message property	Description
extJobId	The external job ID.
strsJobId	The StreamServer job ID.

Custom properties

You can also set custom properties in the Custom Properties field in the runtime configuration settings for the WebSphere MQ output connector. This means you can assign additional message properties to the message.

In this field you can add a list of properties separated by white space. All properties you define here will be added to the message header. The syntax is as follows:

<propertyName> = [(<propertyType>)] <Property> <whitespace> ... 

 

Argument	Description
<propertyName>	Name of the property to set.
<propertyType>	Type of the property to set. Available types are: boolean, byte, short, int, long, string and float. Default is string.
<Property>	Value of the property to set. • boolean can take value true or false. • Strings that contain whitespace or any of the characters (,),; or = must be surrounded by single quotes.

Example 48

Custom properties

DocumentType=PDF Customer='The Big Company' CustomerId=12 IsInvoice=(boolean)true Counter=(long)1

This example contains the following properties:

•	DocumentType is a string property and the value is PDF.

•	Customer is a string property and the value is The Big Company. Since it contains spaces, it needs to be surrounded by single quotes.

•	CustomerId is a string property and the value is 12.

•	IsInvoice is a boolean property and the value is true.

•	Counter a long property and the value is 1.
