Hoping to get some advice or guidance about using MQ on a Windows 2000 Citrix server.
We have a new a application that will deployed under Citrix. This is the first time we are trying to integrate via MQ an application running under Citrix. We have many MQ interfaces running across AIX, AS/400, and Mainframe servers, as well as a handful running on W2K.
My server support team (outsourced) has advised that it would not be a good idea to run MQ on the Citrix servers. Instead, they believe we should use a QM running on a seperate W2k server and map a drive to the Citrix server for the interface. We tried prototyping this and ran into triggering and security issues (not MQ problems, more the way our data center is configured). So, I prefer to just run MQ on the Citrix server.
Am curious if anyone out there runs MQ with Citrix and can relate any problems or issues with it. Is there anything inherently 'bad' or risky with running MQ on Citrix ? |

If your application is running as a client, then it doesn't really matter (or shouldn't) where the queue manager is.
If your application needs to run under server bindings, then you have to run it on the same machine as the queue manager.
Which, as I understand things,since the applications will be running on the citrix machine, means you need a queue manager on the citrix machine.
If you're trying to trigger an application, the trigger monitor has to run on the same machine as the application will be run on (this might not be the same machine the app is installed on, due to network sharing and etc.).
Unless you write your own trigger monitor that CAN reach across machines and do remote starts.
Security problems are fairly typical when you are getting up to speed with triggering, particularly when using any sort of trigger monitor service.

Jeff – thanks for taking time to help me.
My desire is to run the queue manager on the citrix server. I am not really concerned about the trigger & security issues I encountered, they were due to running the queue manager on a different server and were environmental in nature.
My main question is: Is there any reason not to run a queue manager on the citrix server ? Do they not co-exist very well ?
I am hoping to find someone who does run queue managers on citrix servers and has lived to tell the tale. |

| Citrix and MQ is not supported by IBM so u are alone with it. neither MQ 6.0 is supportet and there is no date when it will pass. |
