Hi,

today i installed a fresh mq series for the first time. (MQ 6 on RHEL5 x86_64)

i "played" a little bit with it.

Now i have some questions:

1. is there an free Windows GUI existing to monitor, configure ... the MQ Installation on my RHEL 5 Server?

2. is there a documentation for installing an mq Cluster existing (mq on 2 machines with failover..)

3. i tried to use postcard, but i am not able to start it


Code:

./postcard
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.ibm.mq.jms.postcard.JmsPcManager
   at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.7rh)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.ibm.mq.jms.postcard.JmsPcManager not found in gnu.gcj.runtime.SystemClassLoader{urls=[file:./], parent=gnu.gcj.runtime.ExtensionClassLoader{urls=[], parent=null}}
   at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(libgcj.so.7rh)
   at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(libgcj.so.7rh)
   at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(libgcj.so.7rh)
   at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.7rh)
The JRE has returned 1



i set the pathes like i found them in a install documentation

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/opt/mqm/java/bin/
CLASSPATH=$PATH:/opt/mqm/java/lib/com.ibm.mq.jar:/opt/mqm/java/lib/com.ibm.mqjms.jar:/opt/mqm/java/lib/connector.jar:/opt/mqm/java/lib/jms.jar:/opt/mqm/java/lib/jndi.jar:/opt/mqm/java/lib/jta.jar:/opt/mqm/java
MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH=$PATH:/opt/mqm/java
MQ_JAVA_DATA_PATH=$PATH:/var/mqm
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PATH:/opt/mqm/java/lib

I hope you guys can help me. I am very ne in mq series

thanks in advanced.

regards
Sebastian

1. The WMQExplorer will do this (also available on Linux).
2. A support pack exists (MC91) for HA on UNIX.
3. Someone will be along to answer this, hopefully...

A good question...and well presented!

The answer is, I don't know. I've never played with it, but the documentation should state what should happen.

Ensure you have installed the MQSeriesConfig rpm, if you have then just run strmqcfg to run the MQ Explorer.

Looks like you have only the Client installation package, not the Server installation package.

It's a fair cop! Sorry, I missed that (note to self - READ, don't skim!).

Do you have installation media, or was it a package download?

i downloaded the linux x86_64 MQ 6 package from the ibm website.

i do not have any cd oder dvd or something like this.

the explorer under linux would be interesting (where can i get this config rpm?) but more interesting would be the WMQExplorer for windows.

do you know where i can get it?

thanks

EDIT: another question:

why is define qlocal ('queue') working but define qlocal (queue) not?

while creating i get no error but later testing with ./amqsput is not possible if i missed the -'-

can i define everything with ' or only some things like qlocal and other things without ' ?

MQ Explorer is on the Server CD (or download distribution). If you are allowed to download the Windows server packages then it can be installed from that. If you have an MQ server license then you are allowed to install as many copies as you like of the Explorer:

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/integration/wmq/explorer/

Quote:
MQ Explorer is provided with WebSphere MQ on distributed platforms. MQ Explorer does not require a local server or client, and it can be installed on workstations without charge.


I think the problem is that the MQ Explorer is not provided with the x86_64 linux packages, only the 32 bit ones.

If you don't use quotes then the queue name will be converted to upper case. Hence with amqsput you would need to put to QUEUE, or use quotes to ensure lower case.

I'm not sure whether WMQExplorer (Windows version) is available for download. I've always had media installation packs, so I can't be of further help there.

As for the define statements, 'queue' will produce a queue called queue, the quotes will cause it to be interpreted as a literal string, but queue will produce a queue called QUEUE - it folds to upper case.

Going against your beliefs both are working.
However if you read the doc (runmqsc admin manual ) you would have noticed a little note that said that if you use lower case or mixed case you need to use single quotes ... otherwise your input gets folded to UPPERCASE!

As such

Enjoy
Code:
def ql(queue) is the same as def ql(QUEUE) but not the same as def ql('queue')


Enjoy
