How to test a send Queue?

[gertvangaever]

Hello,

I have here 2 queue managers:
QMMGR1 & QMMGR2

On QMMGR1 I have remote queue 'QMMGR2.SEND.QUEUE' that sends messages to QMMGR2 / RECEIVE.QUEUE

Now I'd like to test this send queue.

I did 'AMQSPUTC QMMGR2.SEND.QUEUE' on QMMGR1
But i received an error 2058 _ Queue manager name not valid or not known. I'm sure though that the queue manager that was filled in was correct!

Now I have 2 questions
1. Is this the correct way to test a send queue

if NO:
What is the correct way?

if YES:
What can be the problem here (error 2058)

Tnx
Gert

I'm not 100% sure but shouldn't you be using AMQSPUT rather than PUTC. I always thought AMQSPUTC was for putting messages to a client machine.

That's the solution!!
Tnx!!

I have another question about this issue!

I have a Win2000 workstation here, with the mq snap-in installed. There is no queue manager installed on my system.
My username is in the 'mqm' group of all queue managers we have here, so I can do what I want with them!

I'd like to put a test message on a send queue of a queue manager. When I right-click on a local queue of a queue manager, I can 'put a test message'. I'd like to do the same with a remote queue, but that doesn't seem possible!

Any solutions?
Because we have a rather strict environment, I can't
- install a Qmgr on my system
- take over the servers on which the queue managers reside

Tnx!!

OK I found it...

in dos window:
SET MQSERVER=<server connection channel>/TCP/<hostname>
amsputc <queue> <queue manager if not default>

Do you guys know where I can get a list of all the MQ Series commands?

 

[kevinf2349]

The MQSC commands can be found in the &quot;MQSeries MQSC Command Reference&quot;

Hi,

I have WindowsXP professional installed on my system. Now I want to install MQSeries v5.2.1. Is this version compatible with XP pro? If not please tell me what is the CSD level I should apply. Also guide me whether I can download it for no cost.

Thanks
