In the description of the QMgrName parameter for the MQCONN call, the following statement appears: "The name specified must be the name of a connectable queue manager."
How does one determine beforehand whether or not a queue manager is "connectable"?
The application that's attempting to connect to a queue manager is running on top of an MQSeries Client, using a TCP channel. The queue manager is on a server platform that may or may not be "up". If server is not up, application hangs, and this is not accept- able.

Connectable implies that the QM is started and in good health.
An application must accept the fact that the possability exists that the MQCONN call will fail, and code an approriate error routine (i.e. try again in a minute, immediatly try QM #2, etc)

Thanks for your reply. I tried to be concise
when submitting my question and ended up being vague.
I AM prepared to accept the fact that MQCONN
might fail, but I'm not prepared to wait one
minute or more to find out (that's how long
it takes for MQCONN to return from a failed
attempt to connect.)
I was looking for a C function analogous to
the UNIX "ping" command that would tell me in
less than a second that a queue manager was
unreachable.

Hmm, you got me on this one. I have always immediatly gotten my MQCONN response, good or bad. Never had an app wait so long to find out. Maybe someone else knows/

| I am very surprised that an MQCONN does not immediately return if the queue manager is not available. The only circumstance I could see this happening is if the machine hosting the queue manager is not running and hence a request to form the underlying TCP connection has no choice but to time out. |
