I have an application programmer using a Mac to try and communicate to a mainframe MQM. I've never had a programmer come to me with this type of request. No MQClient for Mac obviously.

From what I read, the Mac Toolkit has some type of development kit for developing JAVA, C++, Cobol programs. But I don't get the impression that distributing code developed in this kit to Production Mac computers is possible.

Is this correct? Any pointers/info on using Mac with MQ would be appreciated.

https://developer.ibm.com/messaging/2019/02/05/ibm-mq-macos-toolkit-for-developers/

Published on 05/02/2019
"We are very pleased to announce that the IBM MQ MacOS toolkit for developers is now available. This toolkit provides the ability to develop and interact directly with MQ from your Mac, for developers using the language interfaces; such as C, C++, COBOL, GoLang, and Node.js; which are built on the platform-native C library (libmqm) . This extends the capability we already provide for Java developers on Mac, with the IBM MQ com.ibm.mq.allclient.jar."

Is this what you are looking for?

Ya read that...but in that...

This also won’t give you a supported way to run applications, for that you’ll need to take the code you’ve developed on the Mac and build it on your production platform of choice (MQ system requirements).

So you can only develop on Mac but not run Production apps on Mac?

Is the application programmer writing a Java application? If so, it sounds like the allclient jar can run on Mac based on that blurb.

Yep. I would guess that all Mac apps that use MQ messaging back-end are hosted by web servers or other devices. You could try the other Intel X86 GUI OS that dominates enterprise environments.
