Hi,

I'm testing some resources of MQ Series 7 to learning and I didn't get test distribution list.

I've tried to follow some docs and tips in internet and none worked.

Environment example:

2 QM: QMA and QMB

3 Queues:
QMA: QL.QMA (Local)
QMB: QL.QMB_A (local)
QMB: QL.QMB_B (Local)

I tested the queues and are ok, I can put and get messages.
My first shot, i created a namelist(QMA) just with the queues names:

DEFINE NAMELIST (QUEUES.DL) NAMES (QL.QMA, QL.QMB_A, QL.QMB_B) DESCR ('DL Test')

I tested with amqsput:

./amqsput QUEUES.DL QMA
target queue is QUEUES.DL
MQOPEN ended with reason code 2085 (that is MQRC UNKNOWN OBJECT NAME, but the object names are OK)
Unable to open queue for output

After that, I saw the definition of the namelist different, and I tried:

DEFINE NAMELIST (QUEUES.DL) NAMES (QL.QMA, QMA, QL.QMB_A, QMB, QL.QMB_B, QMB) DESCR ('DL Test')

Here, the definition are pairs, with <queue> and <queue_mamager>, but doesn't work as well, but the same error.

I've tried just with 1 queue , and I got the same error:

DEFINE NAMELIST (QUEUES.DL) NAMES (QL.QMA) DESCR ('DL Test')
DEFINE NAMELIST (QUEUES.DL) NAMES (QL.QMA, QMA) DESCR ('DL Test')

The queues parameters to support distribution queues is supported and queue manager too(default).

I checked the users authorities for the objects looks like ok (I've tested with mqm).

Some sites was written that Distribution List needs some development, but IBM docs I didn't find nothing.

I know that exist PUB/SUB in MQ, but, I really like to know how Distribution Lists works!!

If someone did Distribution List, please, share with us!

Thanks,

Marcos
