I am new to MQFTE.

I created two agents on different MQ Servers and create a MQ Cluster that includes the two MQ Servers. However, the source agent I created cannot be seen in both MQ Servers when I issued commands, "fteShowAgentDetails" and "fteListAgent".


Could anyone please help me to identify the issues?

Below is the detailed description.

------------------------- Detailed Description ---------------------------
== MQ Server 1 ==
Coordination QM: qm_alice
Command QM: qm_alice
Agent QM: qm_alice
Agent name: alice.agent

== MQ Server 2 ==
Coordination QM: qm_alice (using Client transport mode)
Command QM: qm_bob
Agent QM: qm_bob
Agent name: bob.agent

-----------------------------------------------------------------

To test if MQ cluster is set up successfully, I issued ftePingAgent request on both MQ Server 1 and MQ Server 2.


-------------------- ftePingAgnet -----------------------------
== On MQ Server 1 (ping bob.agent on MQ Server 2) ==
$ ftePingAgent -m qm_bob BOB.AGENT

5655-U80, 5724-R10 Copyright IBM Corp. 2008, 2009. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
BFGCL0212I: Issuing ping request to agent BOB.AGENT
BFGCL0213I: agent BOB.AGENT responded to ping in 1.339 seconds.


== On MQ Server 2 (ping alice.agent on MQ Server 1) ==

$ ftePingAgent -m qm_alice ALICE.AGENT
5655-U80, 5724-R10 Copyright IBM Corp. 2008, 2009. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
BFGCL0212I: Issuing ping request to agent ALICE.AGENT
BFGCL0213I: agent ALICE.AGENT responded to ping in 0.225 seconds

-----------------------------------------------------------------


Both requests got positive response, therefore, I assume my MQ cluster is set up successfully.

Now, here comes the issue, no matter on which MQ Server, the info of "alice.agent" does NOT show.


== On MQ Server 1 ==

1) $ fteListAgents

5655-U80, 5724-R10 Copyright IBM Corp. 2008, 2009. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Agent Name: Queue Manager Name:
BOB.AGENT qm_bob


2) $ fteShowAgentDetails ALICE.AGENT

5655-U80, 5724-R10 Copyright IBM Corp. 2008, 2009. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
BFGCL0014W: No agents exist that match the current selection criteria.


== On MQ Server 2 ==
1) $ fteListAgents

5655-U80, 5724-R10 Copyright IBM Corp. 2008, 2009. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Agent Name: Queue Manager Name:
BOB.AGENT qm_bob


2) $ fteShowAgentDetails ALICE.AGENT

5655-U80, 5724-R10 Copyright IBM Corp. 2008, 2009. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
BFGCL0014W: No agents exist that match the current selection criteria.




On MQ Server 1, I don't see "alice.agent" which I created on the same MQ Server. But I can ping agent which is located on another MQ Server.

Here comes my Questions,
1) Why I cannot see "alice.agent" on both MQ Servers?
(because I cannot see alice.agent, of course, I am not able to select alice.agent in the To Agent list)

2) What is the scope of the command, fteShowAgentDetails?
If it is all the agents that are register to Coordination QM, I also register alice.agent to the same Coordination QM(qm_bob), why I still don't see it?

3) what does it mean if the command, "ftePingAgent", can get positive response when ping the agent locate in another MQ Server?




Here I attached the wmqfte.properties/command.properties/coordination.properties/agent.properties on both MQ Server 1 and MQ Server 2 for anyone who might be interested in

== On MQ Server 1 ==
1) [wmqfte.properties]
#
#Tue Sep 07 18:49:51 CST 2010
defaultProperties=qm_bob

2) [command.properties]
#Tue Sep 07 18:52:25 CST 2010
connectionQMgr=qm_alice

3) [coordination.properties]

coordinationQMgr=qm_bob
coordinationQMgrHost=pvc25.tw.ibm.com
coordinationQMgrChannel=SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN
coordinationQMgrPort=3000

4) [agent.properties]
#
#Tue Sep 07 18:52:25 CST 2010
agentQMgr=qm_alice
agentDesc=agent on pvc19 as source destination
agentName=ALICE.AGENT


== On MQ Server 2 ==
1) [wmqfte.properties]
#
#Fri Aug 27 17:09:08 CST 2010
defaultProperties=qm_bob

2) [command.properties]
#Tue Sep 07 15:31:46 CST 2010
connectionQMgr=qm_bob

3) [coordination.properties]
#Tue Sep 07 15:30:24 CST 2010
coordinationQMgr=qm_bob

4) [agent.properties]
#Tue Sep 07 15:33:26 CST 2010
agentQMgr=qm_bob
agentDesc=as destination agent
agentName=BOB.AGENT

just found the root cause.

We should use the same user id to create FTE Agent on different MQ Servers.

Your description for the coordination agent and the properties you showed do not match. The description gives Alice as coordination where the properties show Bob as coordination...

This infocenter topic provides a great way of diagnosing issues with listAgents not showing things up.
