How to test a client connection?

[gertvangaever]

Hello,

I have installed MQSeries Client on a client PC.
How can I easily test a connection to a queue manager?

Tnx
Gert

If you have an MQ Server installed elsewhere then follow these steps.

1) Start the QM on the Server.
2) Start the listener.
3) Create SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN, svrconn channel.


On Client side.

1) Define an environment variable, MQSERVER and value being
MQSERVER=SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN/TCP/XX.XX.XX.XX(1414)
Where XX.XX.XX.XX is your MQ Server system's IP address and 1414 is the listener port, if you are running your listener on some other port use that here.
2) Run IBM supplied Client sample program AMQSPUTC.


If you are able to successfully put messages, then your client setup is tested fine.

Hope this helps.


Cheers
KK

Thanks!
I've done it this way:
1. create a 'TEST.QUEUE'
2. on the client: SET MQSERVER=<server connection>/TCP/<host>
3. amqsputc TEST.QUEUE <enter>
4. this is a test <enter>
<enter>
5. amqsgetc <enter>

If I get the messages, the test is OK!
