public class MQSubscription
extends MQManagedObject

MQSubscription is a helper object designed to encapsulate the HSUB reference. Under normal operating circumstances the user will not use or modify the object. It is a sub class of MQManagedObject and in this fashion can take advantage of the close features offered by the base class.

Method Detail

requestPublicationUpdate

public int requestPublicationUpdate(int options)
                             throws MQException

Requests an update publication to be sent for the current topic. This is normally used if the user specified the CMQC.MQSO_PUBLICATIONS_ON_REQUEST option. If the queue manager has a retained publication for the topic, this is sent to the subscriber.

The method returns the number of retained publications to be sent to the subscription queue or multicast address. There is no guarantee that this many messages will be available for the application to get, especially if they are non-persistent messages, or if the transport being used is multicast.

There may be more than one publication if the subscribed topic contained a wildcard. If no wildcards were present in the topic string when the subscription was made, then only one publication will be sent as a result of this call.

Parameters:

options - This parameter maps directly to the options field of the MQSRO structure. Any or none of the following options can be specified.

• CMQC.MQSRO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING

  The method fails if the queue manager is in a quiescent state. On z/OS, for a CICS or IMS application, this option also forces the method to fail if the connection is in a quiescent state.

• CMQC.MQSRO_NONE

  If none of the options described above are required, this option can be used. Use this value to indicate that no other options have been specified.

Returns:

The number of retained publications to be sent to the subscription queue or multicast address.

Throws:

MQException - If the call fails.
