Connecting to a queue manager on remote machine

[palos]

I am really a newbie in the MQSeries since this is a new project for me so expect some questions which to you may be very obvious.

I am using Win NT and has MQSeries server installed in my machine. But I like to connect to a queue manager in a remote machine. I can connect using the MQSeries Explorer. However, I want to know how to do that programatically. How do you get the server, queue manager name, and TCP port into the code? (I prefer C or VB but pseudocode is alright).

Another thing: I see most of you suggesting setting environment variables to set up default queue managers and other stuff. Where do I get a docu on these variables?

Thanks a lot!

If you want to connect as client to a queue manager running on other machine, you should read MQ Series Client" manual. It talks about setting MQSERVER variable which define connectivity to server. Also, you could copy the channel table from the Server and use MQCHL??? variable to point to this table and go from there.

There is sample code amqsputc, amqsgetc ( note "c" at the end for client). The client code has to be linked to client lib.
