i'm a complete novice to MQ.
i installed MQ on my win XP pro machine to test the product
problems started already trying to configure the Queue manager to accept client connections.
the manual says to run strmqm command...
but strmqm seems not to be on my pc?????
do i need a MQ server to test????
how can i configure the queue manager???
Thanks a lot |

strmqm is the command to start the queue manager on your server machine. In addition to the books above, you might want to install the V6 product and walk through the Quick Tour. It also has a new 'Explorer' interface which you may find makes your life easier.
Welcome to the WMQ family. |

Actually, on Windows, especially with the default configuration, it's a lot better to use amqmdain rather than strmqm.
Regardless, I'm sure it's simply a path problem that is causing strmqm to not be found.

True, but when I'm starting out, I like to do it myself from the command line. It lets me know exactly what is wrong (or right!). |

Right....
But using WebSphere MQ Explorer to create a queue manager, and then trying to use strmqm to start it... will cause problems.
It is recommended to either use crtmqm/strmqm OR Explorer/amqmdain, and not mix the two.
This may be fixed in v6 - or it may be worse!

And I also always use crtmqm. Since the explorer doesn't exist everywhere, I've always been big on using the commands (which also helps at certification time). |
