About Service MQ rules

Create a Service MQ rule by selecting Service MQ from the Integration-Services category.

Create a Service Package data instance before creating a Service MQ rule; the name of the service package becomes the first key part of a group of related Service MQ rules. The class and method name key parts are considered "external" and unrelated to Process Commander class and methods, for flexibility.

A Service MQ rule has three key parts:

Field

Description

Customer Package Name

SmartPromptSelect the name of a service package (instance of the Data-Admin-ServicePackage class); this package groups related Service MQ rules. Choose a name already defined through a Service Package data instance. See About Service Package data instances. If your application is to process requests from this service asynchronously through a background agent, define a Service Request Processor data instance (Data-Admin-RequestProcessor-Service class) with this Customer Package Name value as key.

Customer Class Name

Enter a class name to logically group related methods. This name may or may not refer to the Process Commander class that the activity belongs to, but must be a valid Java identifier. See How to enter a Java identifier. BUG-1604

Customer Method Name

Enter a Java identifier that describes the Process Commander activity being called. See How to enter a Java identifier. BUG-1604

Rule resolution

When searching for a Service MQ rule, the system filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions.

Circumstance-qualified and time-qualified resolution features are not available for Service MQ rules. The class hierarchy is not relevant to Service MQ rule resolution.
