Hello,
Can anyone advise me on how to set up MQ Client without a Client installation. Can we set the server at the environment variables and access the server to get and put messages using API which will server as the MQClient?
Is there any pdf I should look into for setting MQClient as such.
Thanks in advance.

You have to install some sort of MQ Client in order to make a client connection.
There's no way around that.
There is an entire manual dedicated to Clients. It's called, oddly enough, "WebSphere MQ Clients".

i'm having a mq server in one box. do i need a local client installation to access that server from another box?
i can set mqserver = client connection channel/TCP/connection name(port) at the environment variables in the 2nd box. use mqjava api's to connect to server? is client installation a must?
can i set mqserver at the script level?
please advise me. |

I say "some sort of MQClient" because, technically, there are two or three.
There is the plain regular MQClient, there is the Extended Transactional Client, and there is the Java MQ API classes - which is a full java implementation of the MQ Client.
But you have to install one of these to make a client connection.
You can't write your own MQ Client, you can't install something else that acts as an MQ client other than one of those three things.

so if i have the java MQ api classes which are .jar files, it will serve as MQClient, right? my focus was on that. thanks a lot.
what are extended transactional clients? any link to have a quick look at the different types of clients? |

Well, I suppose he could write his own MQ Client. But then if he could do that, would he be asking these sort of questions on this Forum?

If you want to use the Perl APIs, then you have to install the regular MQ Client.

MQServer is an environment variable. You can set it at whatever level you know how to set environment variables. There are even functions in various languages that let you set and get environment variables from within a program.
I suggest you ask your system administrator for specific help about this specific problem.
