I have set up a cluster with four Qmgr's.
Two of them being repository's.
Three living on server platforms and one on the Mainframe. (z/OS)
I'm running WebSphere MQ 5.3 CSD007
One repos is on a gateway server and the other is on the z/OS.
The cluster works great. All the managers are talking to each other and messages are flowing.
My issue is with Windows 2000 Explorer. In explorer on the gateway queue manager when I right click on the cluster queue, all the options I see are refresh and help.
This only happens with the cluster queues. I can put a test message using the explorer to local queues that live on any of the servers in the cluster.
I can also use AMQSPUT in dos to put a message to the cluster queue and it works fine.
The issue is with putting test messages to a cluster queue using explorer.
Has anyone seen this before?

I love it when software is so intuitive.
Thanks again.

| Yep - Explorer is explicitly coded to only allow a put to a local queue. No idea why, as its a real pain, but thats just the way it is...! Sorry... |

Try using the command line (prompt) cmd:
amqsput 'queuename'
Substitute your queue name for 'queuename' without the ticks. I do this frequently to test puts on queues from any queue manager to check whether or not the queue is working and if it will pass the message on. In the situation you described, it's the easy way to do a test put to a queue that is not local on that box in the cluster.
If you want to retrieve the messages that may be in a queue, you can also use:
amqsget 'queuename'
I use this to clear the queue of messages rather than using the MQExplorer. Just a personal preference.
Cheers,
<edit> Oops, guess I should have read your full post. Just noticed you are already using amqsput. Sorry. |

I hope the new Explorer (MQ 6.0??) will be much better!!
