What's Hot in the WebSphere MQ World? (Part 2)
Earlier in the year I wrote an article talking about the hot topics in WebSphere MQ (WMQ). I thought now would be a good time to take another look and see what has changed. I found a lot of the things that were hot then are still hot now. So in this article, I am not going to talk much about the items included in the last article. Instead, I will list 5 new items that I did not include in my list the last time. In case you missed the first article you should go back and take a look at that because many of those items are still hot topics... [More]

Controlling Client Access to WebSphere MQ
Security is a hot topic these days and I'd like to explain the basic use of the mcauser attribute for controlling client access for WebSphere MQ.

In this configuration the MQ Client can do message queuing to one, or many queue managers that reside on different machines. If you have never used the WebSphere MQ Client feature and want to give it a try, here is a quick and easy way to configure an MQ Client to connect to a queue manager on an MQ Server. In this...

What is Installed, WebSphere MQ Client or Server?
Well, well. You have installed WebSphere MQ onto your system. Now, you need to determine whether you installed the client or server. It could be that you need to determine this after you installed it 2 years ago and you just don’t remember. Better yet, you need to ensure that you have the proper number of licenses for every WebSphere MQ server installed. Everyone is aware that you can perform the ‘dspmqver’ command from the command prompt to get similar output as follows: Name: WebSphere MQ Version: 7.0.1.0 CMVC level: ... [More]
