I want a vb application to read messages stored in MQSeries. I have explored that in order to do this I would be requiring Windows 2000 server, MSMQ 2.0, MSMQ-MQSeries Bridge and IBM MQSeries Client for Windows NT.
If someone has already done the installation, configuration and actual vb programming please let me know your invaluable experiences.

You need WebSphere MQ (MQSeries), win2k and maybe the MQ client. If you are only getting and putting MQSeries messages you do not need MQMS or the bridge.

Thank you wayne for the right direction.
I have still some ambiguities regarding the installation.
What I think about the intalltion is as follows (please correct me if there is something wrong)
1. On my vb-application computer
OS: Windows 2000 Professional
WebSphere MQ (version ?)
MQ Client (version ?)
I don't need to install MSMQ on the computer.
2. In order to read from MQSeries Queue would I need to install IBM OS and WebSphere MQ on another computer? or is there some other way to verify my MQSeries implementation.
3. Please let me know if you know about some VB-WebShpere contact admin web links.

| On the app server you need MQ client, you need Websphere MQ (the queue manager) somewhere to hold the queues |

Strictly speaking, you can have the MQSeries server on the same computer as your VB application (in that case, you don't need a client).
A more typical configuration is to have a MQSeries server on a "server" machine (something like Win2K, Solaris, linux, zOS) and have a MQ client on the machine with the VB app connected to a server.
You certainly don't need MSMQ. Take a few hours to read the MQ introduction documentation on the tab above.

Can a WebSphere MQ Client for Windows on one machine communicate with WebSphere MQ Server for Linux (or some other OS) on another machine?
If not then how can I solve the above problem?
thanks

Of course, that's one of the major selling points of MQ. I STRONGLY suggest that you take a MQ course.
You appear to have MSMQ stuck on your brain for no other reason than it is stuck on your brain.

Roger Lacroix

Can a Windows MQ Client be used to directly communicate with MQ Server for some other OS (e.g. OS/390, Linux etc).
Or the only way is to use MSQM-MQSeries Bridge?

Why do you think the answer will be any different to the one RogerLacroix gave you above?
Not only do I agree with his point regarding clients, I agree with him that you seem to be obsessed with MSMQ!
What leads you to think IBM would sell a distributed messaging solution that required other software to bridge platforms?  
The only exception is that to client onto OS/390, you need to install an optional MQ component called the Client Attachment Facilility.

Microsoft's MSMQ product is not required at all.
MQ is platform-neutral. An application on any supported platform can interact with any supported platform. The platforms you named (and many others) are supported.
An application can be an MQ client (meaning that there is no MQ server instance on that platform) that connects to an MQ server instance. An MQ client application requires the MQ Client software to be installed on the client platform, and the application be bound with the client bindings.
An application can run on a platform where an MQ server instance is running. The application needs to be bound with the server bindings.
As stated here in other posts, you need to take some MQ classes and read some MQ manuals. |

I could not find any books or some other stuff that describe configuration of MQ Client for Windows with MQ Server for some other OS.
I have gone through the following books but could not find the information.
1. WebSphere MQ V6 Fundamentals
2. WebSphere MQ Application Programming Reference
3. WebSphere MQ System Administration Guide
4. WebSphere MQ for Windows Using the Component Object Model Interface
5. WebSphere MQ for Windows Quick Beginnings
As I am in Karachi, upto my knowledge there is no institution that provides the specific training.
Please give me links where I could find the information.
Thanks

6. Websphere MQ Clients
You'll find it in the InfoCentre with the other titles you reference. Or downloadable (like the other titles you reference) from the IBM website

IBM offers MQ System Administration for Distributed Platforms classes MQ151, MQ152 and MQ155 (Windows, AIX, SUN) that include hands-on labs to demonstrate setup and use of the MQ Client to an MQ server.
Few platforms cannot be clients: z/OS and iSeries, for example, can be servers only. |

z/OS can be a client if you buy the CAF. But only then.
