MQSeries.net :: View topic - Do I have to create tcpip configurable service ?

KIT_INC

I am just running the sample TCPIPSync.msgflow with nothing changed but just using my own broker and Qmgr instead of the default configuration. If I understand the sample correctly, the MQInput message will trigger the TCPIPClientOutput node in the sample to send a request to localhost 7777 and the TCPIPClientReceive node is listening on localhost 7777 accepting the request and generate a reply message.

But the flow failed with "Failed to create client connection using localhost , port 7777. reason "Connection refused".

My shop has firewall enable which I cannot disable. But I have already added port 7777 both TCP and UDP to the exception list.

I use netstat -Aa to see the port status. I do not see 7777 at all.

Should I expect port 7777 to be listening once the flow is deployed and started? Is there anything else I have to do the run the sample ? I read about TCPIP configurable service. But I think if I use hostname and port number, I'll not need the configurable service.
