Use the Visual Workbench when developing applications that access WebSphere MQ through the gateway. The Visual Workbench defines an interface for accessing WebSphere MQ and automatically generates the PL/SQL code (the MIP) for Oracle applications to interface with the gateway. Refer to the Oracle Visual Workbench for Oracle Procedural Gateways for IBM MQSeries Installation and User's Guide for more information about Visual Workbench.
The MIP uses definitions from the PGM
, PGM_UTL8
, and PGM_SUP
packages. When necessary, you can alter the MIP to include WebSphere MQ functions that are not supported by Visual Workbench. This is done with the definitions and procedures from the PGM
, and PGM_UTL8
, and PGM_SUP
packages.
The PGM
, PGM_UTL8
, and PGM_SUP
packages are installed when the Visual Workbench repository or the PG4MQ deployment environment is created. For more information, refer to "Installing the Oracle Visual Workbench Repository" and "Preparing the Production Oracle Server".
This appendix discusses the PGM
, PGM_UTL8
, and PGM_SUP
packages in the following sections:
The gateway procedures and type definitions of the PGM
package are modeled after the WebSphere MQ MQI calls. For all the relevant calls and structures found in MQI, a corresponding counterpart exists in PGM
and the associated data type definitions exist in pgmobj.sql
. The gateway procedures and PGM
type definitions are named the same as their MQI counterparts. However, the data types of arguments or structure fields are changed into corresponding PL/SQL data types.
Using these procedures and type definitions in an Oracle application is very similar to writing a WebSphere MQ application. The fields of all PGM
type definitions are initialized. These initialization values are based on default values defined by MQI.
The use of gateway procedures and PGM
type definitions requires extensive knowledge of MQI and WebSphere MQ programming in general. These procedures and records follow the MQI flowchart, semantics, and syntax rules.
The PGM
package is installed when the Visual Workbench repository or the PG4MQ deployment environment is created and is granted public access. It has no schema because the gateway omits all schema names when describing or running a procedure. No schema qualifiers need to be prefixed to the names of the procedures and type definitions.
See Also: Refer to IBM MQSeries Application Programming Reference for complete information about writing WebSphere MQ applications and using MQI calls. |
The gateway procedures and PGM provide the following procedures and type definitions:
Table A-1 Procedures and Type Definitions
Procedure | Procedure Purpose | Type Definitions Used by the Procedure |
---|---|---|
|
Opens a queue. |
|
|
Sends a message to the queue that was opened by |
|
|
Sends a message longer than 32767 bytes to the queue |
|
|
Retrieves or scans a message from the queue that was opened by |
|
|
Sends a message longer than 32767 bytes to the queue |
|
|
Closes the queue that was opened by |
Does not use a type definition. |
The gateway procedures are described in alphabetic order in this appendix. The type definitions are described with the procedures that use them. Only type definition fields that can be changed are described. Other fields equivalent to MQI fields are left out because they are reserved for WebSphere MQ, are not supported by the gateway, or contain values that should not be changed.
A procedure's definition is shown using the IBM argument names associated with the equivalent MQI call. For example:
MQGET(hobj, mqmd, mqgmo, msg)
The syntax of the MQGET
call is as follows:
MQGET(handle, descript, get_options, message);
where:
handle
is your name for the first argument specified in the definition as hobj
.
descript
is your name for the second argument specified in the definition as mqmd
.
get_options
is your name for the third argument specified in the definition as mqgmo
.
message
is your name for the fourth argument specified in the definition as msg
.
You can use your own names for these arguments if you code the arguments in the order shown in the definition.
For more information about PL/SQL, refer to the PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference.
The following MQI calls have no equivalent procedures in the gateway because the Oracle integrating server and the gateway automatically perform the functions of these MQI calls:
Transaction control is handled by the Oracle transaction coordinator. The Oracle application does not need to invoke a separate MQBACK
call to undo the changes sent to WebSphere MQ.
A connection to a queue manager is established by the Oracle integrating server and the gateway whenever an Oracle application refers to a gateway procedure. The database link name that is used when calling the gateway procedure determines which queue manager the gateway connects to.
Transaction control is handled by the Oracle transaction coordinator. An Oracle application does not need to invoke a separate MQCMIT
call to commit the changes sent to WebSphere MQ.
Connections to a queue manager are closed by the Oracle integrating server and gateway. An Oracle application does not need to close the connection with the queue manager. Ending the current Oracle session or dropping the database link causes the queue manager connection to end.
This section provides information about how to upgrade Oracle9i PG4MQ and existing customized PL/SQL application programs to use Oracle Procedural Gateway for WebSphere MQ features. PG4MQ data types and RPC API prototypes are changed to meet the requirements of the gateway infrastructure.
When upgrading PG4MQ to Oracle 10g release 2, Oracle recommends that you install the newer version of PG4MQ on a separate development Oracle system. After you have finished with system configuration and testing, transfer all of the COBOL copy books and regenerate and recompile MIPs using the Oracle visual workbench. For customized codes, make necessary changes and recompile.
Migrating PG4MQ Releases 8 and 9 PL/SQL Applications
To migrate PG4MQ releases 8 and 9 PL/SQL applications:
In the PL/SQL declarative section, remove dblink
references from the following PG4MQ data types:
PGM8
.MQOD
PGM8
.MQMD
PGM8
.MQPMO
PGM8
.MQGMO
Then remove the following PGM8
.MQ
*RAW
data types:
PGM8
.MQODRAW
PGM8
.MQMDRAW
PGM8
.MQPMORAW
PGM8
.MQGMORAW
In the PL/SQL declarative section, change the data type of the handle of the queue, the third argument of PGM
.MQOPEN
, from BINARY_INTEGER
to PGM
.MQOH
and replace the package name PGM8
with PGM
.
Change the data type of the handles of the queue, the third argument of PGM
.MQOPEN,
from BINARY_INTEGER
to PGM
.MQOH
.
For example, for version 8 and 9 change the following data types to those listed for Oracle 10g:
objdesc PGM8.MQOD; msgdesc PGM8.MQMD; putmsgopts PGM8.MQPMO; getmsgopts PGM8.MQGMO; hobj BINARY_INTEGER; mqodRaw PGM8.MQODRAW; mqmdRaw PGM8.MQMDRAW; mqpmoRaw PGM8.MQPMORAW; mqgmoRaw PGM8.MQGMORAW;
The data types for Oracle 10g release 2:
objdesc PGM.MQOD; msgdesc PGM.MQMD; putmsgopts PGM.MQPMO; getmsgopts PGM.MQGMO; hobj PGM.MQOH;
In the PL/SQL executable section, remove dblink
references from the following PG4MQ procedures:
PGM8.MQOPEN@dblink() PGM8.MQPUT@dblink() PGM8.MQGET@dblink() PGM8.MQCLOSE@dblink()
Then define the dblink
in the new PGM.MQOD
type where the object queue name is defined.
For example, for version 8 and 9:
objdesc.objectname := 'QUEUE1';
For Oracle 10g release 2:
objdesc.objectname := 'QUEUE1'; objdesc.dblinkname := 'dblink';
If necessary, change the package name PGM8
of all PG4MQ procedures to PGM
.
For example, for version 8 and 9:
PGM8.MQOPEN@dblink(); PGM8.MQPUT@dblink(); PGM8.MQGET@dblink(); PGM8.MQCLOSE@dblink();
For Oracle 10g release 2:
PGM.MQOPEN; PGM.MQPUT; PGM.MQGET; PGM.MQCLOSE;
In the PL/SQL executable section, remove all statements starting with PGM_UTL8
.RAW_TO_
*, remove all PGM_UTL8
.TO_RAW
statements, and replace all references to the MQ
*RAW
data types with their matching MQ
* data types in the following PG4MQ procedures:
PGM
.MQOPEN
;
PGM
.MQPU
;
PGM
.MQGET
;
PGM
.MQCLOSE
;
For example, for versions 8 and 9:
mqodRaw := PGM_UTL8.TO_RAW(objdesc); PGM8.MQOPEN@dblink(mqodRaw, options, hobj); objdesc := PGM_UTL8.RAW_TO_MQMD(mqodRaw); mqmdRaw := PGM_UTL8.TO_RAW(msgdesc); mqpmoRaw := PGM_UTL8.TO_RAW(putmsgopts); PGM8.MQPUT@dblink(hobj, mqmdRaw, mqpmoRaw, putbuffer); putmsgopts := PGM_UTL8.RAW_TO_MQPMO(mqpmoRaw); msgdesc := PGM_UTL8.RAW_TO_MQMD(mqmdRaw); mqmdRaw := PGM_UTL8.TO_RAW(msgdesc); mqgmoRaw := PGM_UTL8.TO_RAW(getmsgopts); PGM8.MQGET@dblink(hobj, mqmdRaw, mqgmoRaw, putbuffer); getmsgopts := PGM_UTL8.RAW_TO_MQGMO(mqgmoRaw); msgdesc := PGM_UTL8.RAW_TO_MQMD(mqmdRaw);
For Oracle 10g release 2:
PGM.MQOPEN(objdesc, options, hobj); PGM.MQPUT(hobj, msgdesc, putmsgopts, putbuffer); PGM.MQGET(hobj, msgdesc, getmsgopts, getbuffer);
In PL/SQL executable section, remove all statements that reference the old MQ
*RAW
data types.
Migrating PG4MQ Release 4.0.1.*.* PL/SQL Applications
To migrate applications:
In the PL/SQL declarative section, remove dblink
references from the following PG4MQ data types:
PGM
.MQOD
PGM
.MQMD
PGM
.MQPMO
PGM
.MQGMO
In the PL/SQL executable section, remove dblink
references from the following PG4MQ procedures and define the dblink
in the new PGM
.MQOD
object where the object queue name is defined:
PGM
.MQOPEN
@
dblink
()
PGM
.MQPUT
@
dblink
()
PGM
.MQGET
@
dblink
()
PGM
.MQCLOSE
@
dblink
()
For example, for version 4:
PGM.MQOPEN@dblink(objdesc, options, hobj); objdesc.objectname :='QUEUE1'; PGM.MQPUT@dblink(hobj, msgdesc, putmsgopts, putbuffer); PGM.MQGET@dblink(hobj, msgdesc, getmsgopts, putbuffer); PGM.MQCLOSE@dblink(hobj, options);
MQCLOSE
closes a queue. On return, the queue handle is invalid and your application must reopen the queue with another call to MQOPEN
before issuing another MQPUT
, MQGET
, or MQCLOSE
call to the queue.
MQCLOSE
differs from MQI calls in the following ways:
The connection handle argument is omitted from MQCLOSE
because the gateway automatically takes care of managing queue manager connections.
The MQI completion code is not included in the procedure argument list. When a gateway procedure fails because the corresponding MQI call failed, then an Oracle error message is returned to the caller.
The MQI reason code is not included in the procedure argument list. When the corresponding MQI call for a gateway procedure returns a reason code, then the reason code is included in the Oracle error message returned to the caller.
Definition
MQCLOSE(hobj, options)
where:
hobj
contains the handle for the queue to close. The handle is returned by a previous call to MQOPEN
. This input argument is a new PGM
.MQOH
object in Oracle 10g release 2.
options
specifies the close action. Use PGM_SUP
.MQCO_NONE
or the other PGM_SUP
constants for a close option. Refer to MQCLOSE Values. This input argument is of the BINARY_INTEGER
PL/SQL data type.
You can use your own variable names when arguments are in the required order as follows:
MQCLOSE(handle, close_options);
MQGET
retrieves a message from a queue. The queue must already be open from a previous call to MQOPEN
with the PGM_SUP
.MQOO_INPUT_AS_Q_DEF
(or an equivalent option) option set. Retrieved messages for this form of MQGET
must be shorter than 32767 bytes.
MQGET
differs from MQI calls in the following ways:
The connection handle argument is omitted from MQGET
because the gateway automatically takes care of managing queue manager connections.
The MQI completion code is not included in the procedure's argument list. When a gateway procedure fails because the corresponding MQI call failed, then an Oracle error message is returned to the caller.
The MQI reason code is not included in the procedure's argument list. When the corresponding MQI call for a gateway procedure returns a reason code, then the reason code is included in the Oracle error message that was returned to the caller.
The msg
length argument is not included in the procedure's argument list because the Oracle integrating server and the gateway automatically keep track of the message data length.
Definition
MQGET(hobj, mqmd, mqgmo, msg)
where:
hobj
contains the handle for the queue to open. The handle is returned by a previous call to MQOPEN
. This input argument is a new PGM
.MQOH
object in Oracle 10g release 2.
mqmd
is used on input to describe the attributes of the message being retrieved. Use the fields of the PGM
.MQMD
object type definition to describe these attributes.
On output, mqmd
contains information about how the request was processed. The queue manager sets some of the PGM
.MQMD
object fields on return.
This input and output argument is PL/SQL PGM
.MQMD
data type. For the details of PGM
.MQMD
, refer to PGM.MQMD Type Definition.
mqgmo
is used on input to describe the option values that control the retrieve request. Use the fields of the PGM
.MQGMO
object type definition to describe these options.
On output, the queue manager sets some of the PGM
.MQGMO
object fields on return.
This input and output argument is PL/SQL PGM
.MQGMO
data type. For the details of the PGM
.MQGMO
object, refer to PGM.MQGMO Type Definition.
Examples
Using your own variable names when arguments are in the required order:
MQGET(handle, descript, opts, message);

Notes:
Note: The PL/SQL block fails if the exception clause is left out. In that case, thePGM_SUP.NO_MORE_MESSAGES error code is raised. The MSGID and CORRELID fields that are used for MQGET are set after each call to MQGET . If they are not reset at each cycle, then MQGET checks for the next message that has the same identifiers as the last read operation, which usually do not exist. The PL/SQL block would only read one message. |
PGM
.MQMD
specifies the control information that accompanies a message when it travels between the sending and receiving applications. It also contains information about how the message is handled by the queue manager or by the receiving application. PGM
.MQMD
describes the attributes of the message being retrieved.

.MQMD
fields or change the fields for your application requirements. For example, to change a field value, do the following:
mqmd.field_name := field_value;
where:
mqmd
is the PGM
.MQMD
object data type and it describes the attributes of the message being retrieved
field_name
is a field name of the PGM
.MQMD
object type definition. You can set as many fields as necessary. Refer to Table A-2 for field names and descriptions.
field_value

MQOPEN
establishes access to a queue. Depending on the mode selected to open the queue, an application can issue subsequent MQPUT
, MQGET
, or MQCLOSE
calls.
MQOPEN
differs from MQI calls in the following ways:
The connection handle argument is omitted from MQOPEN
because the gateway automatically takes care of managing queue manager connections.
The MQI completion code is not included in the procedure argument list. When a gateway procedure fails because the corresponding MQI call failed, then an Oracle error message is returned to the caller.
The MQI reason code is not included in the procedure argument list. If the corresponding MQI call for a gateway procedure returns a reason code, then the reason code is included in the Oracle error message that is returned to the caller.
Definition
MQOPEN(mqod, options, hobj)
where:
mqod
specifies the queue to open. Use the fields of the PGM
.MQOD
type definition to describe these attributes. On output, the queue manager sets some of the PGM

The Oracle user session is ended by a DISCONNECT
command. This output argument is of the PGM
.MQOH
data type.
You can use your own variable names when arguments are in the required order as follows:
MQOPEN and(descript, open_options, handle);
PGM
.MQOD
is used to define the object to open. You can use the default values for PGM
.MQOD
fields or change the fields for your application requirements. For example, you can change a field value as follows:
mqod.field_name := field_value
where:
mqod
is the PGM
.MQOD
data type and specifies the object to open.
field_name
is a field name of the PGM
.MQOD
type definition. You can set as many fields as necessary. Refer to Table A-4 for field names and descriptions.

MQPUT
differs from MQI calls as follows:
The connection handle argument is omitted from MQPUT
because the gateway automatically takes care of managing queue manager connections.
The MQI completion code is not included in the procedure argument list. When a gateway procedure fails because the corresponding MQI call failed, then an Oracle error message is returned to the caller.
The MQI reason code is not included in the procedure argument list. When the corresponding MQI call for a gateway procedure returns a reason code, then the reason code is included in the Oracle error message returned to the caller.
The msg
length argument is not included in the procedure argument list because the Oracle integrating server and the gateway automatically keep track of the message data length.
Definition
MQPUT(hobj, mqmd, mqpmo, msg)
where:
hobj
contains the handle for the queue to send the message to. The handle is returned by a previous call to MQOPEN
. This input argument is a new PGM.MQOH
