Verifying an IBM WebSphere MQ client installation
You can verify that your IBM® WebSphere® MQ MQI client installation completed successfully and that the communication link is working.
The verification procedure shows how to create a queue manager
called queue.manager.1
, a local queue called QUEUE1
, and
a server-connection channel called CHANNEL1
on the
server.
It shows how to create the client-connection channel on the IBM WebSphere MQ MQI client workstation. It then shows how to use the sample programs to put a message onto a queue, and get the message from the queue.
The example does not address any client security issues. See Setting up IBM WebSphere MQ MQI client security for details if you are concerned with IBM WebSphere MQ MQI client security issues.
