WebSphere MQ for HP-UX configuration

Before beginning the installation process ensure that you have first created the mqm user and group, and set the password.

Start any channel using the command:

runmqchl -c channel.name

Notes:

1. Sample programs are installed in /opt/mqm/samp.

2. Error logs are stored in /var/mqm/qmgrs/qmgrname/errors.

3. When you are using the command interpreter runmqsc to enter administration commands, a + at the end of a line indicates that the next line is a continuation. Ensure that there is a space between the last parameter and the continuation character.

Basic configuration

1. Create the queue manager from the UNIX prompt using the command:

   crtmqm -u dlqname -q hpux
   

   where:

   hpux

   Is the name of the queue manager

   -q

   Indicates that this is to become the default queue manager

   -u dlqname

   Specifies the name of the undeliverable message queue

   This command creates a queue manager and a set of default objects. It sets the DEADQ attribute of the queue manager but does not create the undeliverable message queue.

2. Start the queue manager from the UNIX prompt using the command:

   strmqm hpux
   

   where hpux is the name given to the queue manager when it was created.

Channel configuration

The following section details the configuration to be performed on the HP-UX queue manager to implement the channel described in Figure 32.

In each case the MQSC command is shown. Either start runmqsc from a UNIX prompt and enter each command in turn, or build the commands into a command file.

Examples are given for connecting WebSphere MQ for HP-UX and MQSeries for OS/2 Warp. If you wish connect to another WebSphere MQ product use the appropriate set of values from the table in place of those for OS/2.

Note:

The words in bold are user-specified and reflect the names of WebSphere MQ objects used throughout these examples. If you change the names used here, ensure that you also change the other references made to these objects throughout this book. All others are keywords and should be entered as shown.

WebSphere MQ for HP-UX invokable TP setup

This is not required for HP SNAplus2 Release 6.

During the HP SNAplus2 configuration process, you created an invokable TP definition, which points to an executable file. In the example, the file was called /users/interops/HPUX.crs6a. You can choose what you call this file, but you are recommended to include the name of your queue manager in the name. The contents of the executable file must be:

#!/bin/sh
/opt/mqm/bin/amqcrs6a -m hpux

where hpux is the name of your queue manager (A).

This ensures that SNA receiver channels activate correctly when a sender channel initiates a conversation.
