Hi all. I need some help - I am good in MQ but not on WAS.
We have a customer that has Java JMS code running
on a client-mode WAS (5.1 going to 6) connecting
to (wintel) MQ Server using MQSERVER (or similar).
Now they want some failback improvement,
so MQCHLTAB has come into play.
My simple question is :
HOW DO YOU CONFIGURE MQCHLTAB to WAS 6.1 ?
==================================
Any pointer to any information center is welcome.
PD.-
I have been told that 40% of the applications use
MQQueueConnectionFactory factory = new MQQueueConnectionFactory();
factory.setQueueManager(System.getProperty("mq.QueueManagerName"));
...
QueueConnection conn = factory.createQueueConnection();
And the rest, 60% of apps use this :
private static final String QMGRNAME =
System.getProperty("mq.QueueManagerName");
Dont know exactly what that means ... |

Neither nor...
A good behaved WAS application retrieves the cf from JNDI and does not change any parameters on it.
The way to configure the channel tab to WAS 6.1 is to set the channel tab file URL to the correct property of the connection factory.
You can then set the qmgr name to what is in the channel tab or *alias etc... You do not set host and channel or port.
Nota: you will need the V7 libraries for load balancing. V6 only allows for failover via the chltab.
Enjoy

mr Saper - do you have a pointer to
"How to configure JNDI in WAS 6.1 for MQ Client connections" ?
6.1 Info Center is
>>> http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r1/index.jsp
but I cant find the right "Search parameters" to get the info I need from there ... Looks WAS people and me use diferent words for the same meaning I guess ... as CCDTURL instead of MQCHLTAB !
By example, I know "Connection Factory" is a Queue Manager, ok, so far so good. Took me one week to figure it out ...
Look to the WAS manual - it says nothing if the connection is Bindings or Client !!!???
==============================================
To create a new connection factory, complete the following steps:
1. Click New in the content pane.
2. Specify the following required properties. You can specify other properties, as described in a later step.
* Name
The name by which this connection factory is known for administrative purposes within IBM WebSphere Application Server.
* JNDI name
The JNDI name that is used to bind the connection factory into the namespace.
* CCSID
The coded character set identifier for use with the WebSphere MQ queue manager; for example: 850.
3. Click Apply. This defines the JMS connection factory to WebSphere Application Server, and enables you to browse or change additional properties. |

CCDTURL = Client Channel Definition Table URL. This is the url that points to your MQCHLTAB.
The ConnectionFactory does not care whether client or server because you fill that information in as you define it (transport type, qmgr name, hostid, channel name, port, CCDTURL)...
Remember as you fill in the CCDTURL you need as well to fill in the qmgr name as defined in the MQCHLTAB (either blank or *qmgralias etc...)
See Here in the WAS 6.1 manual
Have fun

Bizzare as in strange... Did not find anything about CCDTURL either. But it should be a property in defining a QueueConnectionFactory. You may not be able to use this for a connection factory or a TopicConnectionFactory.
If not a property try setting it up as a special property...
Have fun.

mr Saper - I did try with WAS 7.0 and it is there :
a) WAS 7.0 info center :
>>> http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp
b) select "Search" tab
c) enter "CCDTURL" argument ...
.... surprise ! There are few entries !!!
And "CCDTURL" is not related to version 7 of WAS, is it ?
OK - I have some pointers. Thanks a lot. |
