Send MSMQ Message for Each Excel Row
Need to push data from Excel into an enterprise message queue for downstream processing? With Advanced ETL Processor Enterprise, you can send a separate MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queuing) message for each row in your Excel file - automatically and reliably. No coding, no PowerShell, and no manual data handling required.
Why Use MSMQ?
MSMQ is a proven messaging solution for queuing messages between distributed applications - even when systems are offline or busy. It’s commonly used in financial systems, order processing, and distributed data synchronization.
Step-by-Step: Send MSMQ Message per Excel Row
- Open Advanced ETL Processor Enterprise
- Set up a Directory connection to access your Excel files.
- Create a new Transformation for the messaging workflow.
- Delete the default Validator object to simplify the workspace.
- Configure a Data Reader:
- Select the source Excel file (.xls or .xlsx)
- Choose the worksheet or named range to use
- Add an MSMQ Writer object:
- Set the queue path (e.g.,
.\private$\Orders) - Map fields from Excel to message content
- Optionally serialize the message to XML, JSON, or plain text
- Set the queue path (e.g.,
- Apply Data Transformations:
- Use the Transformer to combine fields, add prefixes, clean formatting, or enrich content
- Execute and Monitor:
- Run the process and monitor messages being sent per row
- Review logs for success/failure tracking
- Automate It:
- Schedule the transformation to run periodically or when files arrive
- Chain it with upstream or downstream ETL tasks
Safety checks before sending
- Validate the destination field before any row leaves the workflow.
- Run the package against a test destination before using production recipients, queues, or interfaces.
- Keep row-level logs so failed sends can be retried without guessing what already happened.

FAQ
Can Advanced ETL Processor send MSMQ message for each Excel row?
Yes. Advanced ETL Processor can read the Excel file, map each row, send MSMQ messages, and log the result in a self-hosted workflow.
Can messages be personalised per row?
Yes. Source columns can be mapped into recipients, subjects, message bodies, phone numbers, queue payloads, HL7 fields, labels, identifiers, and attachment rules.
Can failed sends be logged?
Yes. The workflow can record row number, recipient or destination, payload details, send status, timestamp, retry count, and the exact error returned by the provider or queue.
Can failed rows be retried?
Yes. You can configure retry logic and keep failed rows visible for review instead of burying failures in a mailbox, queue, or desktop script.
Can send workflows run on a schedule?
Yes. A package can run on a schedule, after file arrival, or as part of a larger ETL workflow that prepares the source rows first.
What should I test before enabling a send workflow?
Test a small source file with valid rows, missing recipients, invalid numbers or destinations, duplicate rows, and one deliberate failure. Schedule the workflow only when the logs are clear.
When should row-based sending not be automated yet?
Do not automate it until the input columns, message rules, destination rules, consent or compliance requirements, retry behaviour, and failure handling are clear.
