We are running Websphere MQ 5.3 in a clustered environment. Is it possible to set up a trigger monitor to start the executable process on a remote machine? Or, does the process being triggered need to reside on the local host with the QManager?
If you want to do this, you will have to write your own trigger monitor. None of the presupplied trigger monitors can invoke processes on other machines.
On the other hand, you can use a CLIENT trigger monitor, running on the machine that hosts the process you want to run. This trigger monitor would make an MQ Client connection to the MQServer to monitor the initiation queue, and start a local process.
The application itself would then also have to make a client connection to the MQServer to get and send messages.
There is a very useful support pack for Windows that provides a windows service client trigger monitor.
All paths and executables specified in the trigger definitions for a client trigger monitor are specified as if on the remote machine NOT on the MQServer. _________________ I am *not* the model of the modern major general.
