Response | |
Response Message ID |
Select how the receiving application is to determine the MessageID header value for its response message at runtime. Select:
Click the magnifying glass button () to inspect the queue. A window appears, listing any items in the queue. Click a message position number to display detailed information about that item. |
Response Correlation ID |
Select how the receiving application determines the CorrelationID header value for its message at runtime:
|
Dynamic Queue |
Select to specify that a dynamic local queue is to be created for the responses to the messages sent by this connector. When this option is selected, Pega 7 Platform obtains a dynamic local queue from the Request Queue Manager and places the identity of that dynamic queue in the Reply To Queue field in the message headers of the messages sent by this connector. Responses to the messages are then posted to the dynamic queue. If you select this box, complete the Model Name field and the Response tab. |
Dynamic Queue Close Options |
Pega 7 Platform closes the dynamic queue after it retrieves the response message from it. Select one of the following options to specify how Pega 7 Platform is to close the dynamic queue:
If the model specified in the Response Queue Model Name field defines temporary rather than permanent dynamic queues, the |

Test Connectivity |
Optional. Click Test Connectivity at any time after you have completed the information on this tab and saved the rule form. Pega 7 Platform attempts to connect to the MQ server identified, the queue manager, the request queue, and the response queue. The system presents test results in a separate window, identifying the parameters used in the test, the steps attempted, and the outcome of each step. It does not call the service. |
