MQSCorrelationSetOrchestration (BizTalk Server Sample)

  • Artigo

The MQSCorrelationSetOrchestration sample demonstrates how to use the MQSeries correlation identifier for correlating messages sent to an MQSeries queue back to a running orchestration. The orchestration sets the MQSeries correlation identifier and message identifier values using the MQMD_CorrelId and MQMD_MsgID properties. The MQSeries Queue Manager copies the MessageID value to the CorrelationID property of the message.

Prerequisites

This sample assumes that you have installed IBM WebSphere MQSeries on the same server that you are running BizTalk Server.

What This Sample Does

This sample illustrates how to set a message identifier and correlation identifier in a message sent to an IBM WebSphere MQSeries Server. This is one method that can be used to correlate a message back to a running orchestration instance. When the MQSeries Queue Manager receives the message it copies the MessageID value to the CorrelationID property of the message. This CorrelationID (MQMD_CorrelId) is then used in the orchestration to associate the response message on MQSeries with the instance used to send messages to MQSeries.

How This Sample is Designed and Why

This sample illustrates a scenario in which a document that is being processed by an orchestration can be sent to an MQSeries queue (presumably for additional processing) and returned back to the running orchestration.

To enable the receive location and start the send port

  1. In the BizTalk Server Administration console, click Receive Ports.

  2. In the details pane, right-click the MQIn receive location and click Enable.

  3. In the details pane, right-click the MQOut send port and click Start.

To create the folders used by the application

  1. On your C:\ drive, create a folder named "temp" if it does not already exist.

  2. Under the C:\temp directory, create folders named "Pickup" and "Dropit".

Building and deploying this sample

  1. In a command window, navigate to the following folder:

    <Samples Path>\AdaptersUsage\MQSeriesAdapter\MQSCorrelationSetOrchestration

  2. Run the file Setup.bat, which performs the following actions:

    1. Creates a strong name key for the project.

    2. Compiles and deploys the orchestration project.

    3. Creates a send port and a receive port with the File adapter.

Bind and start the Orchestration

  1. In the BizTalk Server Administration console, expand the Orchestrations folder.

  2. In the details pane, right-click the MQSCorrelationSetOrchestration orchestration, and then click Bind.

  3. Bind the orchestration ports to the following send ports and receive locations:

    Orchestration Port Messaging Port / Receive Location
    FileReceivePort MQSCorrelationSetOrchestration.FileReceivePort
    MQSeriesResponseReceivePort MQIn
    MQSeriesRequestSendPort MQOut
    FileSendPort MQSCorrelationSetOrchestration.FileSendPort

  4. Click Host.

  5. In the Host box, select BizTalkServerApplication, and click OK.

  6. In Send Ports, right-click MQSCorrelationSetOrchestration.FileSendPort, and then select Start.

  7. In Receive Locations, right-click MQSCorrelationSetOrchestration.FileReceivePort and then select Enable.

  8. Right-click the orchestration and click Start.

    Note

    Starting the orchestration also automatically enlists the orchestration.

To test the application

  1. Put a file into the C:\Temp\Pickup folder.

  2. Examine the file in the C:\Temp\Dropit folder.

    Note

    If you disable the MQIn receive location, you can examine the message in WebSphere MQ Explorer and see that the message and correlation identifiers are set. To do this, launch the WebSphere MQ Explorer and examine the message placed in the MQCorrelation queue. The message and correlation identifiers are displayed on the Identifiers tab of the Message properties dialog box.

    Note

    In a production scenario, you will want to assign a unique ID for each message that is sent to the MQSeries queue. This can be done by modifying the expression shape in the orchestration. Change the following lines to set these properties to a unique 24 byte ID:

    MQSeriesRequestSendMessageModified(MQSeries.MQMD_MsgId) = "111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334";

    MQSeriesRequestSendMessageModified(MQSeries.MQMD_CorrelId) = "111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334";

    If you want to set a unique 24 byte ID for these properties see the section To create a unique 24 byte ID for messages sent to MQSeries.

To create a unique 24 byte ID for messages sent to MQSeries

  1. Create a new C# class library project in Visual Studio.

  2. Paste the following code into the .cs file for the class:

    using System;  
using System.Collections.Generic;  
using System.Text;  
using System.Security.Cryptography;  

namespace MQId  
{[Serializable]  
    public class GetId  
    {  
        RNGCryptoServiceProvider randomCryptoString = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider();  

        public string getGuidstr()  
        {  
            byte[] newGuid = GetRandomData(24);  
            return ConvertToHex(newGuid);  
        }  

        private byte[] GetRandomData(int keySize)  
        {  
            byte[] randomData = new byte[keySize];  
            randomCryptoString.GetBytes(randomData);  
            return randomData;  
        }  

        private string ConvertToHex(byte[] key)  
        {  
            StringBuilder hexString = new StringBuilder();  
            for (int i = 0; i < key.Length; ++i)  
            {  
                hexString.Append(String.Format("{0:X2}", key[i]));  
            }  
            return hexString.ToString();  
        }  
    }  
}

  3. Specify a Default namespace of MQId and an Assembly name of GetId on the project properties Application page.

  4. Specify a strong name key file to sign the assembly on the project properties Signing page and then build the project.

  5. Use the global assembly cache tool (gacutil.exe) to load the compiled assembly into the GAC (gacutil /i <name of compiled dll file>).

  6. Add a reference to the GetId assembly in the BizTalk project for this sample.

  7. Add two variables to the orchestration used in this sample:

    Variable name (Identifier) Type
    GetId MQId.GetId
    strGuid System.String

  8. Paste the following code into the expression shape used in the orchestration for this sample, this code should overwrite the existing code:

    GetId = new MQId.GetId();  
strGuid = GetId.getGuidstr();  
MQSeriesRequestSendMessageModified = MQSeriesRequestSendMessage;  
MQSeriesRequestSendMessageModified(MQSeries.MQMD_MsgId) = strGuid;  
MQSeriesRequestSendMessageModified(MQSeries.MQMD_CorrelId) = strGuid;

  9. Stop and remove the orchestration in the BizTalk Server Administration Console if it is already deployed. Then follow the steps in the sections Building and deploying this sample, Bind and start the Orchestration and To test the application.

    Note

    Use of this method to create a unique 24 byte ID for messages sent to MQSeries does not 100% guarantee unique IDs for all messages sent but the probability of duplicate message IDs is very low. If business needs require a 100% guarantee that no message IDs are duplicated then you will need to employ different custom code to ensure this functionality.
