				| Hi, 
 I have just started using MQSeries and trying to learn how to use triggers. My env. is MQSeries 5.2, SunSolaris and using java for development. My test trigger program is like this: client send a message to the default system queue and the server should start automatically using MQSeries triggers. I am doing the following and getting "Not a Valid trigger message" message when I start trigger monitor program. Please let me know what I am missing and how should I fix it. Thanks in advance:
 
 
 DEFINE QLOCAL (initiation.queue) LIKE (SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE) DESCR('initiation qu
 eue description')
 ALTER QLOCAL(SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE) INITQ('initiation.queue') PROCESS('process.nam
 e') TRIGGER TRIGTYPE(FIRST)
 DEFINE PROCESS(process.name) DESCR('process decsription') APPLTYPE(UNIX) APPLICID('/var/mqm/my_samples/example3/go'
 To run trigger monitor program: runmqtrm  -mMQSample.Manager -qSYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE
 Then run /home/fqureshi/work/projects/MQSeries/my_samples/example2/go (client)

				| I'm not a triggering expert, but I believe that you want your trigger monitor to watch your initiation queue and not the queue where you are putting your message. 
 Also, you'll probably get a 2085 when you do run the trigger monitor.  I'm guessing that you are using runmqsc to define your resources.  This will wrap names to upper case unless they are in single quotes.  Not all of your 'initiation.queue' names are in single quotes.
 
 MQ 5.2 went out of support on 12-31-2003.  If you are going to be starting something up, you might as well do it on the latest version of the product (WMQ 5.3).

				| Yes I am using runmqsc. Thanks a lot. I made them all in CAP and worked fine |  |

				| Also, It's really not a good idea to change the SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE.
 
 I THINK that when you do a define ql(xyz)
 you're doing an implied: define ql(xyz) like(SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE)
 
 Aren't you?

				| Tom is correct. By changing the default local queue the way you did, every local queue you create from now on will pick up all those settings, and you will manually have to go change them back to blanks each and every time. _________________

				| On the other hand... changing the maxmsgl on SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL can be a real time saver. _________________

				| Thanks a lot to all of you !! Very useful info. Since I am just learning MQSeries features, thats why I am testing things in very a simple way. While going for real development, I'll keep in mind the advices... |  |
