Hello,
We have MQ 7 queue manager and Message broker toolkit 8.0.0.2 on a windows server.
We have a MQ 7 Queue manager and message broker 8.0.0.2 on a unix Server.
We also have point to point to channels between Windows and Unix Queue managers.
So Now To connect the toolkit on Windows server to broker on unix - DO I HAVE TO USE THE SVRCONN CHANNEL or Since I already have a point to point connection between both qmgrs, I don't have to use SVRCONN channel.
We in our environment don't want to use any Client connections.
Please suggest |

| What options do you have when specifying a connection to a broker? |

I only see SVRCONN channel.
But can we use point to point channel communication between 2 qmgrs? |

Toolkit is a MQ client application.
I assume you want to know if it can connect indirectly via a client connection to the local QM and then onwards over QM-QM channels using a combination of remote and local queues at each QM.
Possibly - why don't you try setting up a remote definition for SYSTEM.BROKER.ADMIN.QUEUE on your windows QM and see what happens? |

I had never thought about it but it does seem strange that in MQExplorer during the 'Add remote Queue Manager' dialog, it gives you the option to connect using an intermediate QM, but adding a 'Remote Broker' in the toolkit doesn't give you this option.
Can anyone explain why? |

because that's the way MBX is written.
It doesn't use MQexplorer connection objects, it creates it's own.
If you want an explanation for why it was written that way, I suggest you spend a lot of money at the Dolphin buying beer. |
