Hi all,
I've just started to use this MQSeries software but am having a bit of difficulty figuring out how to set it up correctly.
I downloaded and installed 'MQSeries Client for Windows NT and Windows 2000 - V5.2' from http://www-306.ibm.com/software/integration/support/supportpacs/individual/mack.html. Installation went fine.
On this web page it has the following paragraph:
'You can also run an application in the MQSeries client environment where your machine has a queue manager installed. In this situation you have the choice of linking to the queue manager libraries or the client libraries, but remember that if you link the client libraries, you still need to define the channel connections. This can be useful during the development phase of an application. You can test your code on your own machine, with no dependency on others, and be confident that it will still work when you move it to a full MQSeries environment.'
My problem is that I can't figure out how to install the queue manager on the client machine. Where can I download it from?
My aim is to be able to do stand alone development on just one machine.
Paul. |

So it's not possible to do stand alone development as the web page suggests?
or,
Do I have to install the Server and Client on the same machine? |

| You can't create a QMGR just by installing MQ client. You need to install the Server. You have the option to install the Client also on the same box. |

Standalone development with just an MQClient is possible, if you do not test anything.
You need somewhere an MQServer installed to test your code against, just like for J2EE development you need somewhere an Application Server, or to develop email applications you need an email server.

Yes
Your app should link to the client libraries when you test your app. |

This statement is saying that you can run a client environment on a workstation that has MQServer installed. You do not need to have a separate MQClient machine to dev and test client code. Link with client libs and set up a channel. The client code then behaves in the same manner locally that it would if it were truly remote.
Hope this helps,
