Configuration and Testing

Configuration

The Configuration Property Sheet (CPS) of DataQueueWriter is shown in the figure below with the Expert Properties view enabled.

Figure 1: Sample DataQueue Reader Configuration

The table below provides descriptions for properties in the CPS.

Property	Description
Error handling configuration	The remedial actions to be taken when a particular error occurs can be configured using this attribute. Icon Refer Error Handling section in Common Configurations for detailed information.
Host Name	Hostname or IP of AS/400 Server.
User Name	Username.
Password	Password pertaining to the username.
Queue Name	Name of AS/400 Queue. Icon The complete path of the Queue has to be provided.
Queue Size(bytes)	Size of the AS/400 Queue. Icon To write data to a queue whose exact size is not known, set the value to "-1" so that the microservice uses the maximum entry length. If it is set to "-1", make sure that the queue is already created.
Auto Create Queue	Create queue automatically if it does not exist. Icon It will also try to create the library (FIORANO1.LIB in Figure 1) if it does not exist, but make sure that the user has sufficient privileges.
Close Connection	If set to yes, then the connection will be closed for each successful writing of a message.
