Good morning everyone!
I'm relatively new to the world of MQ development and currently looking to going through some of the samples in InfoCenter to get a better understanding how things work.
My understanding is that I need to install a local broker so I can deploy these sample message flows and run the tests that come with them.
I don't think I have the necessary files installed to run a local broker. One thing I was reading was to execute some commands from an MQ command console. I don't see any option of opening an MQ command console in the start menu folders where the MQ components are installed. I have toolkit and MQ explorer.
Could someone point me to the files I need and a good guide to get a local broker running on my Windows 7 machine? I should point out that the toolkit on my machine is version 7.0.0.5. Thanks in advance!

| You have to install Runtime as well as Toolkit. |

I understand that I need to install the runtime.
My toolkit tells me I have a valid license, so when I installed the runtime, will it detect that license?
Do I just installed the trail runtime or is there another download file I should be using. Toolkit was installed on my machine a while back ago by a co worker.
Thanks. |

runtime licenses aren't enforced in the same way.
As long as you're only using it for local development and not connecting the relevant queue manager or other transports to production systems and performing production or pre-production work on your workstation, you're fine.
As long as your company has a valid production license for Runtime, it is free to install on any development workstations.
All licensing questions can only accurately be answered by your IBM sales representative. That means everything I said above is not legally binding. |

Thanks mqjeff.
I'm poking around my toolkitand wondering someething.
Is there a way to point my broker to use a remote broker so when I deploy samples, it automatically deployes to a remote broker?
We already have a debelopment broker setup so I'm thinking I should just use that instead of installing one on my machine.
Thanks,
Brian |

| Did you try the option that says "Add Remote Broker"? |

Yes, I did. The part I was missing is that I needed to configure my test to use the remote broker instead of the local one.
Thanks for the help and have a great weekend.
