How to configure a queue manager to use the API exit.
Note: You need to have read/write permissions to the IBM® WebSphere® MQ installation
on the server that is hosting the queue manager that is to be configured.
In addition, the queue manager must be restarted during this procedure.
You can use either of the following methods to configure
a queue manager to use the API exit:
- Use IBM Integration Bus Explorer
(for Microsoft Windows and Linux systems).
- Modify the qm.ini file for the
queue manager (for Unix systems).
The following topics describe the two methods:
Externally hosted or managed WebSphere MQ servers
When
you cannot configure a
Rational® Integration Tester MQ
exit for your
WebSphere MQ server
because the server is externally hosted or managed, the alternative
is to use a local queue manager as a bridge:
- The exit is installed on the local queue manager.
- Rational Integration Tester or Rational Test Virtualization
Server sends
requests to, and picks up responses from, the local queue manager.
- The new local WebSphere MQ queue
manager forwards messages to, and receives replies from, the external
server.
Although this process requires advanced WebSphere MQ configuration,
an experienced WebSphere MQ administrator
can set it up for you. For more information, see Queue name resolution.
