Please do not assume any kind of tone to this post. I am answering your question as you have asked it.

The prerequistes are
  1. Know how to develop software in some programming language
  2. understand WebSphere MQ at an intermediate to advanced level
  3. Know how to develop WebSphere MQ applications
  4. know the intricacies of the MQSC scripting language
  5. understand the business and technical requirements that you are trying to achieve
.

PCF is an alternate way to express the same things that are expressed using MQSC. This alternate way is executed using principles of MQ application design, specifically using a request-reply pattern. This pattern is explicitly expressed only inside a program.

You must be a programmer to write a program. You must know WebSphere MQ to know how to write an MQ request-reply program. You must know MQSC to know how to express ideas in PCF.

Once you know all of those things, it will still probably take you two or three attempts before you really understand PCF messages.

i know java, c , c#, c++ and i was quiet able to understand the programs.
i know intricacies of mqsc scripting language.

i haven't developed any webshphere MQ application, as i am not a developer but want to learn it.

can you give me any suggestion where should i concentrate and what kind of stuff i should look into to get a more precise idea of request and reply pattern and it's programing.

i found this link when i was looking for it on the web :

In that article, focus on the submitQueueNamesQuery and checkQueueName methods. They use the presupplied Java classes for sending and receiving PCF messages. This interface abstracts out all of the gory details of the command server and the request/reply paradigm.

There are also samples that ship with the product, in both Java and C.

the saveqmgr supportpac is also a c program that does a lot with PCF messages, at least INQUIRE messages, and comes with source.

Although the actual MQ PCF Jar files are now part of the product and should not be used from that support pac.
