public class PCFMessageAgent
extends PCFAgent

General-purpose agent for sending PCF queries to a queue manager. Like the PCFAgent it extends, a PCFMessageAgent maintains a single queue manager connection and provides a simple method for sending PCF requests and returning the set of response messages. The PCFMessageAgent uses the PCFMessage class for requests and replies, which avoids exposure to the details of underlying PCF header structures. The PCFMessageAgent also provides the capability to check the header contents of a PCF response and throw a PCFException if the response indicates an error.

Constructor and Description
PCFMessageAgent() Deprecated. Default constructor.
PCFMessageAgent(MQQueueManager qmanager) Deprecated. Initializes a new PCFMessageAgent with an existing queue manager connection.
PCFMessageAgent(java.lang.String qmanager) Deprecated. Initializes a new PCFMessageAgent with a bindings connection to a queue manager.
PCFMessageAgent(java.lang.String host, int port, java.lang.String channel) Deprecated. Initializes a new PCFMessageAgent with a client connection to a queue manager.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
PCFMessage[]	send(PCFMessage request) Deprecated. Sends a PCF request to the connected queue manager and returns the responses.
PCFMessage[]	send(PCFMessage request, boolean check) Deprecated. Use setCheckResponses and send(com.ibm.mq.pcf.PCFMessage)
PCFMessage[]	send(PCFMessage request, boolean check, boolean usePlatformSettings) Deprecated. Use setCheckResponses/setUsePlatformSettings and send(com.ibm.mq.pcf.PCFMessage)
void	setCheckResponses(boolean option) Deprecated. If this option is set, the send method throws a PCFException if the responses include a PCF message with the reason code MQRCCF_COMMAND_FAILED in the MQCFH header.
void	setUsePlatformSettings(boolean option) Deprecated. If this option is set, the send method alters the MQCFH contained within the PCFMessage request if necessary to match the platform of the connected queue manager.

Default constructor. Initializes a new PCFMessageAgent with no queue manager connection.

PCFMessageAgent

public PCFMessageAgent(MQQueueManager qmanager)
                throws MQException

Deprecated.

Initializes a new PCFMessageAgent with an existing queue manager connection.

Parameters:

qmanager - an existing queue manager connection

Throws:

MQException - if the queue manager cannot be accessed

PCFMessageAgent

public PCFMessageAgent(java.lang.String host,
                       int port,
                       java.lang.String channel)
                throws MQException

Deprecated.

Initializes a new PCFMessageAgent with a client connection to a queue manager.

Parameters:

host - the hostname or IP address where the queue manager resides

port - the port on which the queue manager listens for incoming channel connections

channel - the client channel to use for the connection

Throws:

MQException - if the connection cannot be established

PCFMessageAgent

public PCFMessageAgent(java.lang.String qmanager)
                throws MQException

Deprecated.

Initializes a new PCFMessageAgent with a bindings connection to a queue manager.

Parameters:

qmanager - the name of the queue manager

Throws:

MQException - if the connection cannot be established

Method Detail

send

public PCFMessage[] send(PCFMessage request)
                  throws PCFException,
                         MQException,
                         java.io.IOException

Deprecated.

Sends a PCF request to the connected queue manager and returns the responses.

Parameters:

request - the PCF request message

Returns:

an array of PCF response messages. A single PCF request can generate multiple replies.

Throws:

PCFException - if the response indicates an error in PCF processing

MQException - if there is a problem with the request or response

java.io.IOException - if there is a problem with reading or writing

See Also:

send

public PCFMessage[] send(PCFMessage request,
                         boolean check)
                  throws PCFException,
                         MQException,
                         java.io.IOException

Deprecated. Use setCheckResponses and send(com.ibm.mq.pcf.PCFMessage)

Sends a PCF request to the connected queue manager and returns the responses.

Parameters:

request - the PCF request message

check - if set, the agent will check the reason code in the MQCFH of the responses and generate a PCFException if MQRCCF_COMMAND_FAILED appears

Returns:

an array of PCF response messages. A single PCF request can generate multiple replies.

Throws:

PCFException - if the responses include MQRCCF_COMMAND_FAILED

setCheckResponses

public void setCheckResponses(boolean option)
