hi,
I'm looking for a tool / support pac that will help me to dump 100s of messages in to a queue. I need to do this to test performance and Message throughput.
I remember using a similar support pac couple of years ago. But, I'm not able to recall its name now.
Can someone help me out? |

I quite like MA0T for this kind of application.

Support Pac IH03 is a free GUI tool from IBM that can replay messages from files etc.
Aka RFHUTIL or RFHUTILC (MQ Client version). I highly recommend it and it has been continually updated. It also has a proper manual! |

MQExerciser also does this with the option of setting a timer interval to pace the puts. For example, you can have one test message put every 'n' milliseconds. Or you can point to files in a folder and put each one as a message with 'n' milliseconds between each put.

That's not exactly true. IH03 is written by Jim McNair who happens to be an IBM employee but IH03 is a category 2 SupportPac.
Hence:

There were 5 products / tools listed above, which of them are you saying has a poor manual?

don't take it personal, he did say "also has a proper manual"
which does not imply the others don't

Hi,
Forums and emails are very cold and harsh, hence, I don't take it personally.

If all of the products had 'a proper manual' then there would be no point to him making the comment. But he did make the comment, which implies that there is something not proper about 1 or more manuals of other products.
If everyone thought the top 10 men's ranked tennis players were 'great tennis players' then following analogy would be weird too:
Novak Djokovic plays tennis and so does Roger Federer. Federer is also a great tennis player!
The second sentence is not necessary but since it was written, it implies that Novak Djokovic is not a 'great tennis player' or is lacking in some way.
Food for thought.
Regards,
Roger Lacroix

| It's free, from IBM and also has a proper manual (unlike most freeware). OK now? |

Jeff,
I know RFHUTIL(c), which reads a file and put in to queue(s), but I am looking for automating tool for load testing. May be it can be configured but I have not done and I do not know.
Also, my source is MF(zos). I am not sure what tool work for MF. |

It depends on what you mean for "works for MF".
If you don't have a CAF, you likely need to write something.
If RFHUtilC works, then you likely have a CAF. And any of these tools will also work.
