Record Distribution to WebSphere MQ: one-way pattern

Use the Record Distribution to WebSphere MQ: one-way pattern to bridge file based and transaction based styles of integration.

Use this pattern when:

• You have batches of transactions that are received as files from local or remote systems.
• Your transactions cannot be sent as individual transactions because of:
  • the technical limitations of source systems that support file based integration capabilities only.
  • the business requirements that mandate batching, for example, the collection of all transactions within a working day.
  • conformance to existing working practices, for example, the use of files that contain EDI transactions.
• Your target systems are designed to accept individual transactions. Such systems might take input from near real-time systems and from batch files and therefore present a transactional interface.
• You have batch files containing transactions that must be distributed to one or more systems.
• The records must be processed, but any failures can be handled by reprocessing the entire file.
