Creating a .bindings file for UNIX

To properly configure the IBM® Product Master GDS IBM MQ settings, you need to create a .bindings file.

1. Set up the IBM MQ class path.
   The IBM MQ default installation directory is at /opt/mqm in UNIX that should be set as MQ_INSTALL_DIR. You need to update the system class path variable (CLASSPATH) with the following JAR files:

   • <MQ_INSTALL_DIR>/java/lib/providerutil.jar
   • <MQ_INSTALL_DIR>/java/lib/com.ibm.mqjms.jar
   • <MQ_INSTALL_DIR>/java/lib/ldap.jar
   • <MQ_INSTALL_DIR>/java/lib/jta.jar
   • <MQ_INSTALL_DIR>/java/lib/jndi.jar
   • <MQ_INSTALL_DIR>/java/lib/jms.jar
   • <MQ_INSTALL_DIR>/java/lib/connector.jar
   • <MQ_INSTALL_DIR>/java/lib/fscontext.jar
   • <MQ_INSTALL_DIR>/java/lib/com.ibm.mq.jar
2. Create /opt/mqm/JNDI-Directory directory on the IBM MQ server.
   Note: If this directory exists, delete any earlier versions of the .bindings files in it.
3. Go to the <MQ_INSTALL_DIR>\Java\bin directory and add the following changes to the JMSAdmin.config file.
   Ensure that the values for the following parameters are:

   • INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY=com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory
   • PROVIDER_URL=/opt/mqm/JNDI-Directory

   Note: If these parameters are not present, include the parameters with mentioned values.
4. Open a command line and change the directory to <MQ_INSTALL_DIR>\Java\bin. Issue the JMSAdmin.bat file. On successful initialization of this batch file, you see a InitCtx> prompt. You can now enter the MQSC commands.
   If an exception occurs, then check whether the class path system variable is properly set for the JAR files that are listed in step 1.
5. Run the following commands in the sequence:

   
   InitCtx> def q(INBOUND_QUEUE_NAME)
   InitCtx> def q(OUTBOUND_QUEUE_NAME)
   InitCtx> def qcf(QUEUE_CONNECTION_FACTORY_NAME)transport(CLIENT)channel(java.channel)host(WMQ_SERVER_IP)port(WMQ_SERVER_DEFINED_PORT)qmgr(QUEUE_MANAGER_NAME)
   InitCtx> end

   For example:

   
   InitCtx> def q(XML_IN)
   InitCtx> def q(XML_OUT)
   InitCtx> def qcf(ptpQcf) transport(CLIENT) channel(java.channel)host(9.121.222.84) port(1414) qmgr(bcg.queue.manager)
   InitCtx> end

6. Copy the generated .bindings file from the JNDI-Directory directory and paste the file to the required destination at Product Master under the $TOP/etc/default and $TOP/etc/appsvr_<SERVER_NAME> directories.
