Hi All,
I have setup MQ trigger with below details in Windows but it's not working to trigger the application.
below are configured on local queue :
trigger control : On
Trigger Type : First
initiation Queue : test
process name : Cal
Created Process Defination :
Process Name : Cal
ApplicationID : 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe
Application Type : Windows
as per my understanding as soon as I placed a message on local queue qmgr should generate message and send it to initiation queue but I am not able to find that.
can you please help me if I am missing anything.
MQ verion is : 7.0.1.5 |

Do you have the supplied trigger-monitor application (runmqtrm) running? Does it name the initiation queue you've specified?

thanks for your response
I am running trigger monitor by creating service but when I have started trigger monitor through command prompt it's working.
can I know how to run the trigger monitor as background process and how we know that trigger monitor is running or stopped? |

If you create it as a service, it runs in the background without necessarily being able to interact with the logged in user.
This is great, as long as the programs you are triggering do not expect to interact with the logged in user. I suspect you will find that calc.exe expects user input.
You should be able to a) see an instance of runmqtrm listed in the running processes, b) potentially see a number of calc.exe instances in the list of running processes.
If you create the trigger monitor as a qmgr service, and configure the service to be managed by the queue manager, you will be able to tell it's running because the status of the service shows as started.
You could also look at using supportPac MA7K. This is listed as a client trigger monitor, but it will happily run using a bindings connection to a local qmgr as well. |

I think notepad.exe doesn't so might be a better one to use?

thanks Jeff
it's not working as expected when I have configured Trigger Monitor as a service, I can see message coming into Initiation queue but it's not invoking calc.exe.
but when I run the trigger monitor through command prompt it's working. |

Please paste the definitions of your queues and service objects, thank you.

I have created all MQ objects through the MQ Explorer but below are details.
Define ql(trigger_enable) TRIGGER TRIGTYPE(FIRST) TRIGDPTH(1) INITQ(test) PROCESS(Cal)
define ql(test)
define process(Cal) APPLTYPE(WINDOWS) APPLICID(C:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe)
define service(trig) STARTCMD(C:\"Program Files"\IBM\"WebSphere MQ"\bin\runmqtrm.exe) STARTARG(-m WMS -q test) SERVTYPE(SERVER) CONTROL(QMGR) |

This looks a bit iffy to me. What's wrong with STARTCMD("C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\bin\"runmqtrm.exe) ?

It would be helpful as well to add something to the start args to redirect the standard out to a file, or otherwise instruct runmqtrm to write to a file rather than standard out. |

can you provide some example to write to file. |

Something along the lines of:
STDOUT('C:\Temp\+QMNAME+_trigger_stdout.txt') +
STDERR('C:\Temp\+QMNAME+_trigger_stderr.txt') +
A freebie - I'm in a generous mood today

even through it's defined to generate log files it's not generating any files. |

So something's wrong then....
