Hi there

I am new to WebSphere MQ/MQI (no training or hand over etc) and have been building my way through the product. I have been following the IBM Redbooks installing DB2, MQ and finally WMQI in order to configure a broker domain.

PACKAGE DETAILS:
=============

Solaris Packages

IBM DB2 V7.1 FP3U4, FP10A (UDB Enterprise Server)

IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3.0 CSD5, CSD7 (MQ Server, Man Pages, Sample programs, Client Libraries)

Windows (2000) Packages

DB2 V7.2 FP10A
WebSphere MQ V5.3 CSD1, CSD5
WebSphere MQI V2.1 CSD4

CONFIGURATION:
============

Solaris (TSTVXVM1)

DB2

MQSICMDB: Configuration Repository DB

$ db2 connect to MQSIBKDB
$ db2 bind /export/home/db2inst1/sqllib/bnd/@db2cli.lst grant public CLIPKG 5
$ db2 connect to MQSICMDB
$ db2 bind /export/home/db2inst1/sqllib/bnd/@db2cli.lst grant public CLIPKG 5

dbadm authorisation granted to all three databases also for user wmqi.

Windows

Fixed odbc core dump problem using 32bit library.
Fixed language issue in profile.sol.

I would appreciate any help you guys could provide! I have gotten this workig intermittantly, last time I started the COMMAND SERVER as it had not started, then it worked, this time it makes no difference. Another time it just worked after about 10mins - I didnt do anything.

Any ideas?

Cheers!
