I have installed the MQ client and server on different machines.now i am trying to access QMGR created on the server. I know we have to create qm.ini
file and store it. but what should be the location on the client machine to store this file.
Both my machines are on windows 2000.
i know after i save this file, i have to go ahead and create server channel conn, and set the MQSERVER on the client machine.
please guide me through this.
Thanks |

Actually you don't need a qm.ini on a Client though you may want to have an AMQCLCHL.TAB file and on w2k all of what one would normally find in the qm.ini file for an MQManager is now in the Registry.
You set up the MQSERVER varialbe in Control Panel > Sytem Properties > Advanced Tab > Environment Variables.

| 2058 is usually a name error. You've gotten to a qmgr but the name you gave and its name don't match. Double-check the case. |

On your MQManager Server Create CLNTCONN Channels with the same name as the SVRCONN Channel you plan to use to connect from the client. Then ftp the AMQCLCHL.TAB file to the Cleint Server c:\program files\IBM\WebSphere MQ.
Then in your code specify that path.

Hmmm... I am not sure you can use the AMQCLCHL.TAB file with amqsputc. I think you have to set your
| Code: |
| MQSERVER=SVRCONN.CHL.NAME/TCP/hostname.domain.com environmental variable. |

If MQSERVER is not set, then the app (any MQClient app) looks for the MQCHLLIB and MQCHLTAB variables, which can be set to point at any channel table, including the default. (Technically, if you keep the name and location at default, you dont need to set the variables).
The MQ Client manual has this stuff buried towards the back.

I am not sure exactly what the "default" path is on Microsoft Platforms. I am sure it would be something like:
c:\program files\ibm\websphere mq\qmgrs but I am not 100% certain.
And I wasn't sure about the amqsputc looking for the .TAB files. Thanks for the clarification Peter.

The easiest way it to set up the MQSERVER varialbe in Control Panel > Sytem > Advanced Tab > Environment Variables > System Variables > New.
Variable Name = MQSERVER
Variable Value = SVRCONN.CHL.NAME/TCP/hostname.domain.com
Where SVRCONN.CHL.NAME is the name of the SVRCONN channel you created on the MQManager and hostname.domain.com is the fully qualified domain name of the server hosting the MQManager.
Then on the WMQ Server you have to make sure that you have an runmqlsr.exe Listener process running and a runmqchi.exe Channel Initiator process running.
Of course you will also want to create a SVRCONN channel for the client to use and a QLocal on your MQManager.
Then at a DOS prompt on the Client Server run the amqsputc QLOCAL.NAME.
If you have anymore questions about this you need to do some research in the WMQ Systems Administration Guide and the WMQ Client Guide.
