Python IBM MQ

Dashboard

• No knowledge of IBM MQ programming is needed to receive messages from IBM MQ queues or to send them
• Connections are defined in the platform's Dashboard, as below:

Receiving messages from queues

Create an IBM MQ definition and channel and a given service will be invoked for each message taken off a queue. The request, stripped off the MQRFH2 JMS headers, will be in self.request.payload.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# Zato
from zato.server.service import Service

class MyService(Service):

    def handle(self):
        self.logger.info('Message received: %s', self.request.payload)

Sending messages to queues

Create an IBM MQ definition and outgoing IBM MQ connection and send a message like in the example below.

MQRFH2 JMS headers can be added by Zato so that from the receiving side everything seamlessly appears as though Zato was a Java application.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# Zato
from zato.server.service import Service

class MyService(Service):

    def handle(self):
        self.outgoing.ibm_mq.send('my-message', 'outgoing-connection-name', 'QUEUE.1')
