Dear All,
We are trying to connect to remote MQ queue manager from C client on HP UX. For this we use
MQCONN(QMName, /* queue manager */
&Hcon, /* connection handle */
&CompCode, /* completion code */
&CReason); /* reason code */
But how to point which host, port, channel we are going to connect to?
Does it make sense that on the box where client is running there is no MQ installed?
Thank you for your attention.
Regards,
Boris |

The missing link is the Client Channel Definition Table (CCDT).
Without this, you will not connect to a remote queue manager.
See the IBM Manual about MQ clients. |

Thank you for the quick reply!
Could you please give me an example of how to use "client channel definition table"?
Do we need MQ client installed to be able using this CCDT?
Thanks and Regards,
Boris |

Read the WMQ Clients manual for all the details.
As the WMQ Clients manual will tell you:
You need to have the WMQ Client installed on the client platform.
You need to set environment variables on the client platform.

Yes, I rather assumed you had the MQ client installed.
Surely no-one tries this sort of thing without reading the manual? |

Apparently.

Yeah, first read the MQ Clients manual.
You can use MQCONNX API where you can specify host, port and channel name. This is alternative to using CCDT. |

Another alternative to MQCONNX and CCDT is to use the MQSERVER environment variable. See the MQ Clients manual.
export MQSERVER=ChannelName/TCP/hostname(portnumber)
