Hi!

The XMS library looks pretty good to me and I wish to use it in my software development.

- Is it possible to use it in a production system?
- Is it stable enough?
- Does it work without problems with .net 3.5?
- Does it work with MQ version 7.0?
- Is there a next version available in the near future (working with .net 3.5)?
- How about licensing??

TIA

Heiko

It doesn't say it does. Try it and post your findings

Ask IBM (or wait for a passing IBMer to post here!)

Thanks for the fast reply!

Yes, it works with .NET 3.5! I took a look at my test solution and - it says ".NET 3.5" - so this question was unnecessary.

But what does "Cat 3 support pac" mean? I am new to the IBM world and its terminology.

Best...

There's a tool a lot of us use which you might wish to look into. It's called "Google".

It found this:
