Hi All,
I recently installed Websphere MQ 7.0 on our iSeries server. I would like to connect to it using the Windows MQ Client, so I installed that as well.
However, when I look in my program list, I have this:
IBM Websphere MQ
--> IBM Key Management
--> Prepare Websphere MQ Wizard
I ran the Key Management and it did nothing particularly useful. I then ran the Prepare Wizard, and the only option I have is to read the release notes. The options to remove the shortcut and Launch MQ Explorer are both greyed out.
I have scoured the Internet looking for an answer, and I have come up empty so far. So my big question is - how do I connect my Windows MQ Client to my iSeries MQ Server?
Thanks in advance!
Brian. |

You need an application that uses the MQ client to connect to the server. You can try RFHUtil or MQExplorer (both available as support packs) to connect to a Queue Manager.
Think of the MQ client as being similar to database drivers. You install the drivers and then applications use them to connect to the database. |

The MQ Client install is basically just a set of libraries for the program you write to use.
There are some sample MQ Client programs installed. Take a look in C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\tools\c\Samples\Bin
Also here:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r0/topic/com.ibm.mq.csqzal.doc/fg17020_.htm
I like using amqscnxc as all it does is connect to a QM then disconnect, verifying that MQ Client works.
| Code: |
C:\>amqscnxc -c MyChannelName -x MyServer MyQM
Sample AMQSCNXC start
Connecting to queue manager MyQM
using the server connection channel MyChannelName
on connection name MyServer.
Connection established to queue manager MyQM
Sample AMQSCNXC end
C:\>

Thanks Guys.
I did download the WebSphere MQ Client V7.0.1 for Windows Multilingual(CZ4VHML) and installed that. That's how I got the system to show me the "Launch MQ Manager" command that is greyed out.
And thanks for the command line. I tried it out and it works. But I want to use the Windows GUI for my work. How do I get it to run?
Thanks again.
Brian. |

Did you look into MQ Explorer as I previously recommended? |

Thanks! I misunderstood - I thought the client I downloaded and the one you mentioned were one and the same. Mea Culpa.
Thanks for your help! |
