Jitterbit MQ NACK activity

Introduction

A Jitterbit MQ NACK activity, using its Jitterbit MQ connection, negatively acknowledges messages (using the ackId) and is intended to be used as a target to consume data in an operation.

To use the NACK activity, you must first use a Get or Get bulk activity to retrieve the ackId for the message(s). The ackId must be provided in the NACK activity's request schema.

Create a Jitterbit MQ NACK activity

An instance of a Jitterbit MQ NACK activity is created from a Jitterbit MQ connection using its NACK activity type.

To create an instance of an activity, drag the activity type to the design canvas or copy the activity type and paste it on the design canvas. For details, see Creating an activity instance in Component reuse.

An existing Jitterbit MQ NACK activity can be edited from these locations:

• The design canvas (see Component actions menu in Design canvas).
• The project pane's Components tab (see Component actions menu in Project pane Components tab).

Configure a Jitterbit MQ NACK activity

Follow these steps to configure a Jitterbit MQ NACK activity:

• Step 1: Enter a name and select a requeue option
  Provide a name for the activity and select a requeue option.

• Step 2: Review the data schemas
  Any request or response schemas are displayed.

Step 1: Enter a name and select a requeue option

In this step, provide a name for the activity and select a requeue option. Each user interface element of this step is described below.

• Name: Enter a name to identify the activity. The name must be unique for each Jitterbit MQ NACK activity and must not contain forward slashes / or colons :.

• Requeue Options: Select a requeue option, either Reject Messages After NACK or Requeue Messages After NACK:

  • Reject Messages After NACK: This option will reject messages present in the Unack Messages column in the Message queues tab on the Management Console Message queues page and remove them from the queue.

  • Requeue Messages After NACK: This option will send messages present in the Unack Messages column in the Message queues tab on the Management Console Message queues page to the Ready Messages column to be retrieved by a Get or Get bulk activity at a later time.

• Save & Exit: If enabled, click to save the configuration for this step and close the activity configuration.

• Next: Click to temporarily store the configuration for this step and continue to the next step. The configuration will not be saved until you click the Finished button on the last step.

• Discard Changes: After making changes, click to close the configuration without saving changes made to any step. A message asks you to confirm that you want to discard changes.

Step 2: Review the data schemas

Any request or response schemas are displayed. Each user interface element of this step is described below.

• Data Schemas: These data schemas are inherited by adjacent transformations and are displayed again during transformation mapping.

  Information

  To use the NACK activity, you must first use a Get or Get bulk activity to retrieve the ackId for the message(s). The ackId must be provided in the NACK activity's request schema.

  The request and response data schemas consist of these nodes and fields:

  Request Schema Node/Field	Description
  ackId	String containing the acknowledgement ID (obtained from a Get or Get bulk activity)
  deliverTag	Integer of the delivery tag (configured as the deliveryTag in a Send or Send bulk); for example, if set to 3, messages with delivery tags set to 1, 2, or 3 are acknowledged
  multiple	Set to true if multiple messages are to be acknowledged, set to false if only a single message is to be acknowledged
  requeueOptionAfterNack	Set to nackrequeue to place the message back in the queue to be consumed by a Get or Get bulk activity, set to nackreject to discard the message
  additionalProperties	String containing any additional properties

  Response Schema Node/Field	Description
  success	Boolean representing the success (true) or failure (false) of the acknowledgement
  error	Node containing any errors
  statusCode	HTTP response status code returned
  error	String containing any error messages
  additionalProperties	String containing any additional properties

  Note

  Data supplied in a transformation takes precedence over the activity configuration.

• Refresh: Click the refresh icon or the word Refresh to regenerate schemas from the Jitterbit MQ endpoint. This action also regenerates a schema in other locations throughout the project where the same schema is referenced, such as in an adjacent transformation.

• Back: Click to temporarily store the configuration for this step and return to the previous step.

• Finished: Click to save the configuration for all steps and close the activity configuration.

• Discard Changes: After making changes, click to close the configuration without saving changes made to any step. A message asks you to confirm that you want to discard changes.

Next steps

After configuring a Jitterbit MQ NACK activity, complete the configuration of the operation by adding and configuring other activities, transformations, or scripts as operation steps. You can also configure the operation settings, which include the ability to chain operations together that are in the same or different workflows.

Menu actions for an activity are accessible from the project pane and the design canvas. For details, see Activity actions menu in Connector basics.

Jitterbit MQ NACK activities can be used as a target with these operation patterns:

• Transformation pattern
• Two-transformation pattern (as the first or second target)

To use the activity with scripting functions, write the data to a temporary location and then use that temporary location in the scripting function.

When ready, deploy and run the operation and validate behavior by checking the operation logs.
