I'm running a queue manager under Windows 2000. I've defined a listener using amqmdain crtlsr. However, when I start the QM, the listener doesn't start up. I've also tried the MQSC "START LISTENER" command, which doesn't start the listener that I've defined.
This is a problem, because I'm trying to create scripts to get a bunch of QMs up and running within a cluster. But, without the listeners running, the QM cluster sender channels can't start. I can start the listeners using the MQ Services snap-in, but haven't been able to figure out how to do it using a MQSC or amqdain command.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks,
Mark |

Mark,
I'm somewhat confused by your question for needing scripts to get the queue managers up and running.
But that aside here's what I would recommend:
1.] Create an NT CMD file (ie: start_listener.cmd)
Inside the file put the following:
runmqsc < c:\mq_scripts\listinit.mq
2.] Create a 2nd file called "listinit.mq" <file referenced above> or whatever you want to call it.
This is just a text file. Inside that file put:
sta listener
In the 1st file (before calling the runmqsc commands) you could start the queue manager with the strmqm & strmqcsv .
In the 2nd file "listinit.mq" you could any RUNMQSC commands you would like to be executed(sta listener, sta chinit, ect).

HTH,
Thanks. I've tried this approach, but it doesn't seem to work. The MQSC command "START LISTENER" doesn't seem to start up the listener that I created with the "amqmdain crtlsr" command. I solved it by starting the queue manager with "amqmdain start" - which seems to automatically start the listener that I defined.
In case you are wondering why I'm using "amqmdain crtlsr" to create the listener, it is because "START LISTENER" doesn't let me define the port to listen on. I need to listen on ports other than just the default 1414.
However, I'm not happy with this solution, because I don't like using the amqmdain commands. I'd like to develop scripts that work under both Unix and Windows.
Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. |

If you are starting a queue manager with services, amqmdain is the best method. This is not tied to the login user. It starts the qm and services as a Windows service so it survives a logoff. This is the windows way of doing nohup.

Just to add some comments to this (been away!)...
Basically try to NEVER mix command line and GUI/amqmdain. You either want the qmgr to be under the MQ userid, surviving logoffs and monitoring its components, OR you want it to run under your userid and not survive logoffs.
There is no way in amqmdain to start and stop a child service directly, and runmqlsr start listener does not take into account anything which is defined to the MQ services. (Be careful - runmqsc START * all start processes which run under your userid)
So the best you can do is either
crtmqm QM
amqmdain crtlsr...
amqmdain crt...
amqmdain start QM
or
crtmqm
strmqm
start /b runmqlsr -m QM -t TCP -p 1414 etc
and never logoff...! |
