Hi all,
I have an urgent requirement to go and work on MQ on AS400. I have not only worked with MQ on AS400 but I have not worked with AS400 at all. Could you please some one give me some idea on the follwoing:
Does the runmqsc runs the same wat in the other plateform?
As O/S how much different is AS400?
I am reading QB guoide and getting some ideas. But have many questions.
If I install from the installation file on the disc, what option do I need to use?
I may be many more but these will definitely help me. I would really appreciate your help
thanks |

Everything on AS/400 is different, except that it's just like Unix.
That is, all the commands for doing everything is very different, but otherwise it's just a Unix queue manager.
There are several iSeries manuals in the Info Center. If I had to do this, that's where I'd start. That, and making friends very fast with the iSeries administrator. Or the iSeries platform InfoCenter if I was supposed to also be the iSeries administrator.

Jeff,
I do not need to be as400 administrator. I just need to do installation and configuration. It is short project. So, I am more concerned from the point of how mq works and basic as400 command like changing directory etc. that requires installation proecess.
For example, in the following command,
RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5724B41) DEV(install device) OPTION(*BASE) OUTPUT(*PRINT)
If I am installation from CD, the DEV is OPTION1 but if I am installing from directory what do I need to put. I am looking for documentation which is details and I kinda can follows.
I know I am asking too details, but this is situation. I would really appreciate you further assistance.
thanks

Jeff,
Also, I am just interested to know whether RUNMQSC works and I can use it to create objects - qmgr, queues, channel, listeners etc
However, I am going to read the CL commands too
thanks |

Yes, there is a version of RUNMQSC. There's even a version of MS03-SaveQmgr.
But it's not called RUNMQSC. From what I recall of iSeries commands from browsing the manuals, it's got more m's and q's in it.

Also, you should be able to use a client connection and use MQExplorer. Or use runmqsc from Windows with iSeries as a remote queue manager.

As Jeff is pointing out, iSeries is quite different.
Once installed you should get a MQ menu when you log on:
| Code: |
Select one of the following:
WebSphere MQ Command
74. Start WebSphere MQ Commands STRMQMMQSC |
Then -->
| Code: |
Start WebSphere MQ Commands (STRMQMMQSC)
Type choices, press Enter.
Member containing input . . . . Name, *FIRST
Input file . . . . . . . . . . . QMQSC Name
Library . . . . . . . . . . . *LIBL Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB
Option . . . . . . . . . . . . . *RUN *RUN, *VERIFY
Wait time . . . . . . . . . . . 0 0-999999
Message Queue Manager name . . . *DFT
|
My suggestion for you is to get someone already familiar with iSeries to do the installation for you. That is how I do it, I have an iSeries admin do installation and patching, while I do configuration.
You also need to take care of how to clean up logs, especially if you are thinking of using this in a production environment.
Here is a link to a good article regarding this:
WebSphere MQ for iSeries Best Practices guide
Good luck. |

The as400 guy sai that the database in as400 is library and can be created by the command crtlib. Is this correct? I am really wondering how a db2 database can be library. But he insisted that this is database in as4oo. I would be really greateful if some one could confirm.
thanks a lot |
