Configuring a queue manager to support sift-and-pass-through stubbing

A diverted queue rules namelist is required by IBM® Rational® Integration Tester to support sift-and-pass-through stubbing on an IBM WebSphere® MQ transport. The sift-and-pass-through capability enables Rational Integration Tester to see a message in a queue before the "real" service sees it and determine whether to process it.

About this task

If a diverted queue rules namelist is not created, an error message is displayed when you start a stub that uses a WebSphere MQ transport that is enabled for sift-and-pass-through stubbing.

However, if a WebSphere MQ administrator wants to permit users to record messages but not reroute them, a diverted queue rules namelist is not required.

Procedure

Open IBM WebSphere MQ Explorer.
On the MQ Explorer – Navigator window, click the relevant queue manager.
Right-click Namelists, and click New and Namelist on the pop-up menus.
The New Namelist wizard is displayed.
Enter rit.divert.rules in the Name field.
Click Finish.

Results

The namelist is created.
