Hi.
We will have the MB toolkit on a local Windows machine,
and the broker on a remote AIX machine, all version 7.1
What MQ software do we need on the windows/toolkit machine ?
==========================================
Is client enough ? Any configuration setting ?
This is what we have tested and it is not working, even AMQSPUTC works OK
When we try to connect to remote Broker, it asks for
*) queue manager name
*) IP + port
*) SVRCONN channel name, default SYSTEM.BKR.CONFIG
MQRC = 2059 -> this indicates bindings is in use, isnt it ?
Is server mandatory ? Any important configuration (to reach remote QM from local QM) ?
Thanks. |

MQRC 2059 means that the QM you have asked to connect to is not available at the address/port specified.
Could be the listener is not running. |

What is the exact type of error you are getting? Is SSL involved?
If you are using brokerExplorer can you create a .broker file for this remote broker (thereby having the definition). You can then use the .broker file to connect with the toolkit.
Have fun

MQRC = 2059 ; MQRC_Q_MGR_NOT_AVAILABLE
but AMQSPUTC works fine with same parameters ...
no SSL, thanks ( )
yes, we are exporting the NAME.broker file using MQExplorer, but I expect to have the same error ...
Something STUPID is in front of my face and I dont see it .... as usual |

amqsputc will generally use the connection details from a CCDT, are you sure you are using exactly the same details?
Are you using the same channel with amqsputc? If not try that. |

| AMQSPUTC uses MQSERVER envir variable, and yes, I swear, it hs the very same IP parameters ... |

Maybe a user exit on the svrconn channel?

Be careful with those .broker export files from MQ Explorer, it always seems to generate a file with the svrconn="SYSTEM.BKR.CONFIG" even if you're not actually using that channel.
In MQ Explorer if you select the Qmgr definition in the QueueManager section, what Channel name is listed in the right hand pane ? |

The Toolkit being Java may pass a blank id on connection. Make sure the toolkit has the latest fixpack applied.
If you use blockip2 exit, this may be rejected.
With MQ 7.1 it may be the channel auth records doing this. |

I used UserExit's years ago and promised no to do it again except under real danger of death ...
No UserExits, mr Saper. Thanks for the support ! |

on mqexplorer ... we have ... SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN on the right ...
The problem is that I get nothing in AMQERR01.LOG in the destination machine ... |

Have you tried connecting to broker using channel SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN ?
(this is probably far from best practice but as a test worth a go) |

... I will try in a minute
let me change the question ...
a) where does Toolkit write a LOG ?
b) does Toolkit require MQ client or server to connect to remote broker ? |
