Hello,
we have a WebsphereMQ Server 5.3 Installation (Windows 2000). Now this Server has to act as a Client for another Server.
Unfortunately, setting the Environment Variable "MQServer" and running the program did not succeed. It seemed that MQServer is just ignored.
Do we need to install the the MQ-Client-Software, although the Server is already installed? Can't imagine that.
Or do we have to consider something else? |

You can install both client and server software on the same platform if you really want to.
Normally with a MQ server install you just define a remote queue defintion and perform all the queue gets and puts to the local queue manager which sends/receives the messages to the other queue manager for you.
Are you really surprised that a server can't connect as a client??!! |

| As far as I remember the installation on Windows, you can choose during setup of the Websphere MQ Server if you want to install the client as well. |

Setting MQServer will only help if the app is linked with the client libraries (assuming a C pgm). Other bits (eg. active X) load the server library first and if it fail try the client library, so the answer will depend on what language the app is written in / what it is linked with.
Note the client portion is an optional component during install so there is also the possibility this was not set and hence the client libs are not installed |

You can have only one connection per thread and you can link your application either against the server lib or against the client lib. I don't know how is it in java.

Yes, you have to install the MQclient feature.
You will have to find your installation CD's and modify your configuration and add MQClient feature. You can't install the MQclient from a supportpack, because some modules are different.
(I don't know with the transactual MQClient, this might be different, in this case contact your IBM representative for further information.
Some of my clients uses this approach, having some applications connected to a local QMGR on windows, and other connected using MQclient to a remote qmgr on fx. z/OS. As far as I know is the applications only connected to one qmgr at a time.
Just my $0.02
