Hi,
I'm having trouble connecting MQ Client 5.3 (installed on WinXP Pro) with MQ Server (installed on Compaq Tru64 UNIX 5.1A). Server is up, queue mgr started (only 1, default), queue created, and server-connection channel CHANNEL1 defined. Listener is started on port 1414 (TCP being used).
On the client, I've set the system environment variable MQSERVER using CHANNEL1 and pointing to server's IP & port #.
Ping to the server works fine (and vice versa), and telneting to server port # (1414) also works. Telneting from server to client to 1414 does not work (is that supposed to work, anyway?)
Running a "set" in command prompt on client displays the MQSERVER variable being set OK (all lettelrs capital).
However, when I try to put a message on the server's queue, it displays reason code 2059. MQJExplorer returns pretty much the same error. Smth like not being able to connect to qmgr.
What am I doing wrong here? Perhaps I'm supposed to start an listener on client XP too? Or some sort of service? Or did I miss smth out on the server side?
BTW, I'm doing all this to set up a GUI like MQJExplorer, so I could administer MQ Server remotely from XP.
Thx in advance,
Bob |

On XP, you have to install the client software and to set the enviroment. There s no special service nessessary.
Maybe your problem is MQSERVER, please post it and the definition of CHANNEL1.

Well, the variable is:
MQSERVER=CHANNEL1/TCP/144.250.10.20(1414)
As I said, ping and telnet from client to server DO work.
On the server side, channel is defined as:
display channel (CHANNEL1)
22 : display channel (CHANNEL1)
AMQ8414: Display Channel details.
CHANNEL(CHANNEL1) CHLTYPE(SVRCONN)
TRPTYPE(TCP) DESCR( )
SCYEXIT( ) MAXMSGL(4194304)
SCYDATA( ) HBINT(300)
MCAUSER( ) ALTDATE(2004-04-26)
ALTTIME(18.11.34)
SENDEXIT( )
RCVEXIT( )
SENDDATA( )
RCVDATA( ) |

Hi, for MQJExplorer to work you have to start the command server on the unix box:
strmqcsv <QMname>
And you have to create the SVRCONN channel:
SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN
Which program do you use to put messages ?
Please try:
amqsputc <queue name> <QM name> |

Yes, I forgot to write it, I started the command server on UNIX with strmqcsv aswell. However, if I understood it well, it is only necessary for MQJexplorer, not for simple PUT program amqsputc (which doesn't work either).
Yes, I use the "amqsputc Q1 QMR1", and Q1 is a well defined queue, and QMR1 is a queue manager.
It returns 2059 reason code. |

Hi,
i can find no error in your settings.
Can you define the MQSERVER variable on the server machine
and start the amqsputc programm there, so that we can see if there's
a problem with the network or the mq config.
Greetings

I also not, it looks ok.
Only an idea, maybe not very good.
You have a connection from client to server, but is the tcp/ip route from server to client ok ?

I defined the MQSERVER variable on the server, tried the amqsputc there, browsed the messages I've put, and it works. So the server side is OK.
PING from Tru64 server to WinXP client works aswell. There should be no problem, they're on LAN (same switch, actually). However, telneting from server to port 1414 on XP client does NOT work.
Is the MQ client software on WinXP machine supposed to open port 1414 or not? When I do a "netstat -an" on WinXP client, the port 1414 is NOT opet.
Maybe this is the problem? BTW, I have NO firewalls on the client, everything's open. |

No, clients dont open a server socket - They just open a socket to a specific port on a remote machine, which will show up in netstat on the XP box as any random local port number.
Do you have any error messages (or fdc's) logged in the client amqerr01.log file? |

Yes!
I checked the client's log file - there was a problem with mismatching CCSID on the server - it wasn't supported on the client. So I changed it, and now amqsputc works fine. I can put a message on a sever's queue, and see it on the server.
However, MQJExplorer STILL reports reason 2059. I've created the SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN on the server, and started the command server. I've also set the MQSERVER variable on the client, now being MQSERVER=SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN/TCP/144.250.10.20(1414).
When I try to connect with MQJExplorer, I use "QMR1" as a remote qmgr, and "SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN" as a connection name.
Why can't MQJExplorer connect to the qmgr? DO I perhaps have to create user mqm on a WinXP client machine? |

Hi,
MQJExplorer is a java application and so does not use the MQSERVER environment variable.
You have to define the client connection settings within MQJExplorer.
Use "Show remote queue Manager"
Queue Manager Name => name of your QM
Connection Name => hostname(port) => 144.250.10.20(1414)
The channel SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN is choosen internally.
