WMQI - XML Entry Assist

When working with Websphere MQ Integrator (aka. MQSI) and XML data, there are many times in a Compute node where one has to enter large amounts of ESQL statements used to map to and from XML documents.  Included in MQJExplorer is the capability to automatically generate valid ESQL statements from a piece of XML.  These statements may then by copied and pasted into the entry fields in a Compute node.

The XML Entry Assist tool may be invoked from the MQJExplorer Tool menu bar.  When invoked, the following dialog is displayed:

In this dialog, XML data may be entered.  Pressing the Next button, produces the following display:

Two in-built formats are supplied, these are

Set from XML - Produces ESQL of the format

Set to XML - Produces ESQL of the format

Custom formats may be supplied in which the XML ESQL will be replaced with the code %S

The XML Entry Assist supports the creation of ESQL statements from the following XML constructs:

• Elements
• Attributes
• Document Version
• Document Standalone
• Document Encoding
• SystemID
• DTD Name
• Comment
