About this task

You perform this task on the receiving machine (the machine that hosts the queue manager QM_APPLE). The amqsget sample program is used to get the message back from the queue.

Open a command prompt and follow these steps:

Procedure

Start the amqsget sample program as follows:

On Linux®, change to the MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/samp/bin directory, where MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH represents the high-level directory in which IBM MQ is installed. Type the command:
```
./amqsget Q1 QM_APPLE
```
On Windows, type the command:
```
amqsget Q1 QM_APPLE
```

Results

The sample program starts and your message is displayed along with any other messages on this queue. After a short pause, the sample program ends and the command prompt is displayed again.
