Route Message According to Contents

[David Harrison]

Cloverleaf 5.6 on Solaris 10

I have an inbound message which will need to go through a different Xlate according to a field within the inbound message. As an example, if the field equals AB123 then I want to use AB123.xlt; if it

Generate is difficult to use and hard to maintain.  

I recommend you write a trxid determination proc to set the trxid.  You wold parse out your field in the proc and set the trxid to the value of the field.

So trxid of “AB123” would go through a route that uses your AB123.xlt and “XY798” would use a route that uses the XY789.xlt

Rob,

I’ve just come to the conclusion that a trxid proc is the way to go. Thanks for the feedback anyway.

Hi David.

We’ve been doing this for years and works well!

If you have some TCL code before you route code, you can use the TCL code for your route processing and then use message USERDATA to set the route.

We perform almost all of our translations in TCL and this works well

eg

proc ccm_code_trx_id_ack {aMsgId} {

               #

               # The Route is in the user data

               #

       set myTrxId [msgmetaget $aMsgId USERDATA]

       return $myTrxId

}

If you already know how to do a trxID proc then great; otherwise, here is a URL showing details of how I implemented a trxID with some helpful screen shots as well.
