Creating transports for WebSphere MQ

To record interactions with IBM® WebSphere® MQ, you must set up transports to provide information about the infrastructure of these systems. IBM Rational® Integration Tester uses a decoupled, plug-in architecture to provide maximum flexibility for the messaging transport software in use by a system under test.

Before you begin: Setting up IBM WebSphere MQ and installing the HRVMMQF Exits

A messaging transport provides the information that Rational Integration Tester needs to communicate with applications.

The program code for each transport is contained in one or more JAR files (libraries), which are stored in Rational Integration Tester’s plug-ins directory. Any libraries upon which these plug-ins depend must be accessible to Rational Integration Tester.

The JAR files are in the installation directories of the installed products.

You must configure JAR files to support transports for IBM WebSphere MQ.

To configure these third-party libraries, use Library Manager (see Working with the Library Manager).

You can test system Z applications for WebSphere MQ on z/OS because Rational Integration Tester uses the same JAR files as WebSphere MQ on distributed systems. If you do not have MQ installed, see Rational Integration Tester reference for WebSphere MQ for configuration instructions.

Before you can configure the transports in IBM Rational Integration Tester, you must set up the following components in the Architecture School perspective’s Logical view:

For information about setting up these components, see Creating a service component.
