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

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

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.

1. Open IBM WebSphere MQ Explorer.
2. On the MQ Explorer or Navigator window, click the relevant queue manager.
3. Right-click Namelists, and click New and Namelist on the pop-up menus.

   The New Namelist wizard is displayed.

4. Enter rit.divert.rules in the Name field.
5. Click Finish.

The namelist is created.
