Hi,
I am in the stage of trying out my hands on MQ Series and have successfully tested a Server-Client Environment with multiple machines.
As I am still pretty new to MQ Series, I am wondering if there is any way of transfering messages from 1 QMGR to another QMGR. Take for example, assuming that on machine A, I have 2 QMGRs, namely QM1 and QM2, when I place a message on Q1 under QM1, I would like it to be automatically transfer to Q2 under QM2. Is this possible? If yes, can anyone give some directions on how it can be achieved? An example will be of great help.
Thank you and best regards.

Do you want to retain a copy of the message on Q1 on QM1 also? If no, then you can define Q1 on QM1 as remote queue which will point to local queue Q2 on QM2. You will also need to define a channel between QM1 and QM2 queue managers.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. In fact, that's where I faced problems. I have tried setting up the sender channel on QM1 and receiver Channel on QM2 but just cannot get the message across.
Would appreciate a lot if a detail explanantion of the steps involved is being explained as there isn't any example that I can fully based on from the MQ Series books provided by IBM.
thanks a lot.
Yours,
Tom

Tom,
Lets take an example here. Lets say you have two queue managers named QM1 and QM2 (Doesn't matter if they are on same or different computers).
To define communication link between two queue managers QM1 and QM2 you should define following components,
On QM1
--------
A transmission queue named QM2
A sender channel (e.g. TO.QM2)
A receiver channel (e.g. TO.QM1)
On QM2
--------
A transmission queeu named QM1
A Sender channel (e.g. TO.QM1)
A receiver channel (e.g. TO.QM2)
After you start these pair of channels your queue manager QM1 and QM2 can communicate with each other in both directions.
For more information on how to define channels refer to MQSeries Intercommunication book. MQSeries books can be downloaded form this link,
http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/library/manualsa/manuals/crosslatest.html
Hope this helps!

Hi All:
I have similar kind of problem. I created a transmission queue and creates a sender channel on one machine. On the second machine I created a channel and created a receiving channel on the second machine and I was able to ping the recieving channel. When I put some messages on the tranmission queue, The queueis getting emptied but the messages are not reaching the destination.
Any help is appreciates.
Thanks,

MQUser,
When you say "When I put some messages on the tranmission queue" you don't mean that you are putting messages directly to the transmission queue right? In other words, when your application issues the MQPUT, is it doing the put to some remote queue definition which points at the destination queue, or are you putting the message directly on the transmission queue? If you are doing this, then none of the routing information is going to be put in the message header, and that is why your messages will never arrive at their destination. If this is not the case, then I'd need some more information about your setup, perhaps the names/attributes of all the objects that you have defined...

Hi Duncan:
Thanks for the reply. I think I miss understood the documentation. I was trying to put the messages in the transmissions queue. Now I have new problems. I was unable to put messages on to the remote queue.
Here is the structure that I have
On the Local machine
Queue Manager: QM.xmtr
transmission Queue: Xmtr.Queue
remote queue: Rmt.Queue.Local
Channel Name: Web3_to_Web5
On the remote machine:
Queue Manager Name: QM.rcvr
Queuename : rcvr.Queue
Channel Name : Web3_to_Web5
Any Help is appreciated.
Thanks,

What is the error message you are getting when you try to put the message. Assuming that you are putting the message onto the remote queue, where is the message landing onto. Are your channels up and running. Any error messages in the Error logs.
Cheers.
Kumar

Well if your channel is not up and running, then thats the problem. If you have checked the name and it seems ok, check the conname. Are you pointing to the right system and also the right listener port. Also check if your listener is running on the remote system.
Any error messages in the mqerrlog.
Cheers.
Kumar

Perhaps if you could post the definitions of your sender channel, receiver channel, and remote queue we might be able to track down the program.
Just use DIS CHANNEL(channel name)
and DIS QREMOTE(remote queue name)
in runmqsc and paste the output for us to see...

Please post all the definitions as already requested by Duncan to move any further.

MQUser,
In your last post you said

I think you are confusing the terminology here. Queues never have a state in the same sense as channels. Queues aren't "running" or "inactive".
