Setting up the server and client using the command line on Linux

You can use the command line to create the objects that you need to use to verify a client installation on Linux®. On the server you create a queue manager, a local queue, a listener, and a server-connection channel. You must also apply security rules to allow the client to connect and make use of the queue defined. On the client you create a client-connection channel. After setting up the server and client, you can then use the sample programs to complete the verification procedure.
