Greetings all! My apologies in advance for this newbie's first post. A tiny bit of background first ...
I've done some EDI in the past, back in the days of modems. Now i've started a new job and had the MQ project suddenly thrust upon me. After two weeks i'm starting to get a glimmer of how this all works. MQ v5.3 is installed and running (apparenly) fine under Centos RedHat Enterprise 4. On our previously existing messaging server we use Cyclone Activator 4.2.4.5 for sending EDI messages. We've never used MQ before.

So, on this new server, we would like to continue to use Cyclone Activator to interface with MQ since our programmers already know how to interface with it. We haven't been able to get it working yet. Our tech support representative at Cyclone claims he has customers doing this, but doesn't know which ones. He has no reference of how it works or how to solve problems. I won't go into the myriad difficulties right now, but i would like to know if anyone out there actually is doing this successfully. If so, may i pick your brain for a few moments?

Secondly, the only MQ client we have functional is the command line client that IBM includes with MQ. It's not exactly the easiest thing to work with. Does anyone know of any (hopefully free or open source) clients that would let us enter, send, receive, read, and file simple messages?

Thanks muchly!

It sounds like the only person that can help you is the developer of Cyclone Activator.

One would think so. Their own support department doesn't seem to know much of anything about MQ integration.

"Lots of programs listed here:

Thanks very much for that. MQ Visual Edit and MQ Batch Toolkit looks like very helpful tools. We're trialing them now.
