WebSphere MQ for Solaris 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.

4. For an SNA or LU6.2 channel, if you experience an error when you try to load the communications library, probably file liblu62.so cannot be found. A likely solution to this problem is to add its location, which is probably /opt/SUNWlu62, to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Basic configuration

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

   crtmqm -u dlqname -q solaris
   

   where:

   solaris

   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.

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

   strmqm solaris
   

   where solaris 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 Solaris queue manager to implement the channel described in Figure 32.

The MQSC command to create each object 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 Solaris and MQSeries for OS/2 Warp. If you wish to 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.
