MQSeries::Message::Event -- OO Class for decoding MQSeries event messages
use MQSeries::Message::Event; my $message = MQSeries::Message::Event->new;
This class is a subclass of MQSeries::Message which provides a GetConvert() method to decode standard MQSeries Event messages.
Since this is a subclass of MQSeries::Message, all of that classes methods are available, as well as the following.
Neither of these methods are called by the users application, but are used internally by MQSeries::Queue::Put() and MQSeries::Queue::Get(), as well as MQSeries::QueueManager::Put1().
The PutConvert method will cause a failure, since this class is only to be used for decoding MQSeries events, not generating them. Perhaps a futute release will support the creation of such events.
The GetConvert method decodes the message contents into the EventHeader and EventData hashes, which are available via the methods of the same name.
Actually, this is one of the MQSeries::Message methods, and not specific to MQSeries::Message::Event. However, it is important to note that this class is one of those that saves the raw buffer returned by MQGET in the object.
The Buffer method will return the raw, unconverted PCF data in the original message. The autor uses this to echo the original event message to other systems management software that wants to parse the PCF.
This method can be used to query the EventHeader data structure. If no argument is given, then the entire EventHeader hash is returned. If a single argument is given, then this is interpreted as a specific key, and the value of that key in the EventHeader hash is returned.
The keys in the EventHeader hash are the fields from the MQCFH structure. See the "MQSeries Programmable System Management" documentation.
This method can be used to query the EventData data structure. If no argument is given, then the entire EventData hash is returned. If a single argument is given, then this is interpreted as a specific key, and the value of that key in the EventData hash is returned.
The keys in the EventData hash vary, depending on the specific event. In general, these are the strings shown in the documentation for each individual event described in the "MQSeries Programmable System Management" documentation. The data structures in the eventdata in the original event are identified with macros, such as "MQCA_Q_MGR_NAME". Rather than use these (in some cases very cryptic) macros, the strings shown in the IBM MQSeries documentation are used instead. In this case, "QMgrName".
The macros are mapped to strings as follows:
