Once you have configured your service port, you can use your Tibco EMS connection for testing. For information on how to edit JMS messages for your OSV Scenarios, see chapter "Edit JMS messages".
Work with temporary queues
In Tibco EMS you can work with temporary queues that are created during run-time. This applies for outbound queues and real service outbound queues. For detailed information on temporary queues, see the Tibco EMS documentation.
To work with temporary queues in OSV, follow the steps below:
-
Go to the Outbound section of the Tibco EMS service port. To see this section, you need to set your service port to Write or Read & Write.
-
Leave the Name field empty. In this case, OSV assumes that you use a temporary queue and sends responses to the destination specified in the ReplyTo field of the actual request message.
-
In Tosca Commander, configure your OSV Scenario to ensure that OSV matches the correct response to the correct request.
This means that the MessageID of the request message has to be the same as the CorrelationID of the response message. You have to set the following ActionModes:
-
In the request message, set the MessageID ActionMode to Buffer.
-
In the response message, set the CorrelationID ActionMode to Insert.
-
