Adding keywords to ESQL files

You can add keywords to ESQL files to contain information that you want to associate with a message flow.

Use one or more of the following methods:

Comment fields

Add the keyword as a comment in the ESQL file:

-- $MQSI compiled by = John MQSI$

Static strings

Include the keyword as part of a static string in the ESQL file:

SET target = '$MQSI_target = production only MQSI$'

Variable string

Include the keyword value as a variable string in the ESQL file:

$MQSI_VERSION=$id$MQSI$

In this example, when the message flow source is extracted from the file repository, the repository's plug-in has been configured to substitute the identifier $id$ with the actual version number. The identifier value that is required depends on the capability and configuration of the repository, and is not part of IBM® Integration Bus.

Restrictions within keywords

Do not use the following characters within keywords, because they cause unpredictable behavior:

^ $ . | \ < > ? + * = & [ ] ( )

You can use these characters in the values that are associated with keywords; for example:

$MQSI RCSVER=$id$ MQSI$ is acceptable
$MQSI $name=Fred MQSI$ is not acceptable
