Configuring the MQReply node

When you have put an instance of the MQReply node into a message flow, you can configure it.

1. Optional: On the Description tab, enter a short description, a long description, or both.
   You can also rename the node on this tab.
2. On the Advanced tab:
   1. Select Segmentation Allowed if you want WebSphere® MQ to break the message into segments in the queue manager, when appropriate. You must also set MQMF_SEGMENTATION_ALLOWED in the MsgFlags field in the MQMD for segmentation to occur.

      More information about the options to which this property maps is available in the Application Programming Reference section of the WebSphere MQ Version 7.5 product documentation online.

   2. Choose the persistence mode that you want for the output message.
      • If you select Automatic (the default), the persistence is as specified in the incoming message.
      • If you select Yes, the message is put persistently.
      • If you select No, the message is put non-persistently.
      • If you select As Defined for Queue, the message persistence is set as defined in the WebSphere MQ queue.
   3. Choose the transaction mode that you want for the output message.
      • If you select Automatic (the default), the message transactionality is derived from how it was specified at the MQInput node.
      • If you select Yes, the message is put transactionally.
      • If you select No, the message is put non-transactionally.
3. On the Validation tab, set the validation properties; see Validation properties. If a message is propagated to the Failure terminal of the node, it is not validated.

   For more details, see Validating messages.

   The reply message is put (using MQPUT) to the queue named in the input message MQMD as the ReplyTo queue. You cannot change this destination.
