Hi!
We recently got new workstations in the company I work for. Our old workstations were Win2K Pro but the new ones are now WinXP Pro. I used to have an MQ client on the Win2K station so now I need to install (I think) a new MQ client for my WinXP station.
I know I have to download the client software from IBM - I think I did that but I can't seem to make anything work... in my Win2K station I wrote some javascript code that helped me test our MQ apps... but on this new machine I can't seem to do the same thing anymore... the problem is, I was not the one who installed the client on my old machine, so I really do not know how to go about it.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks!

| After you installed the client, did u setup the client channel for this workstation. Read the MQ client on how to set it up. |

Thanks for the quick response... the fact of the matter is - I am not even entirely sure I installed the client properly... I downloaded a file called macvEnUs.exe from the IBM website and ran it... the resulting folder and subfolders has a file called Websphere MQ.pdf but I can't open it... I will keep looking.
If you have more specific tips, I'm sure they will help a great deal.
Thanks again!

I wanted to reply on that already yesterday, but when I had written the post and wanted to look something else up, I pressed accidentaly the "Eject" Button. Very contact admin feature... 
Check whether your client workstation has either set up the MQSERVER variable or a channel tab. Otherwise your client doesn't find the way to the Server.
Here a sample of how the MQSERVER Variable needs to be looking like.
SET MQSERVER=ChannelName/TransportType/ConnectionName
But please remember, with the MQSERVER variable, you can only connect to 1 Queue Manager at a time. If you want to connect to several Queue Managers, you need to go with a channel tab.
hope this helps

Well, technically, you can change the MQSERVER environment variable programatically before you execute an MQ connection, and thus make multiple connections.

But doesn't that make it unperformant like crazy? |

I don't know.
I've never done it!
