How to set up remote queues

[kennyct]

Hi,

I would like to know how to set up remote queues for IBM MQ series on Windows NT.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

First catch yourself the MQseries MQSC Command Reference Manual.

Next sit down with a red hot keyboard.

Now......

Define a transmit queue to destination QMGR if one doesn't already exist:

Define QL('TRANSMIT.TO.REMOTE') +
PUT(ENABLED) +
USAGE(XMITQ) +
REPLACE

Now Define Your Remote Queue:

Define QREMOTE(DAVID) +
PUT(ENABLED) +
RNAME(*---Insert Local Queue name of queue on Dest Qmgr) +
RQMNAME(*---Insert Remote QMANAGER name) +
XMITQ('TRANSMIT.TO.REMOTE') +
REPLACE

If Channel pairs don't exist then define them:

Define CHL(SENDATOB) CHLTYPE(SDR) +
CONNAME('*---Insert Destination IP address here') +
TRPTYPE(TCP) +
XMITQ('TRANSMIT.TO.REMOTE') +
MAXMSGL(4194304) +
BATCHSZ(7) +
REPLACE

*
** Now a Receiver
Define CHL(SENDBTOA) CHLTYPE(RCVR) +
TRPTYPE(TCP) +
MAXMSGL(4) +
BATCHSZ(7) +
REPLACE

Make sure the channels are also defined at the other end.

Start channels
Drop message on queue...and Bob's your uncle.

I would recommend that you trigger the XMITQ so that it starts the channel for you.
