Websphere Mq Client For Windows

The Installing a WebSphere MQ client on Windows systems have a bullet list of steps to be performed after the installation is complete. The first step tells the user to use the setmqinst command to set it as the primary installation. WebSphere MQ only supports Java/JMS in Clients mode on Windows 64-bit platform (i.e. Bindings mode is not supported). Defect support is available for virtualization environments where they relate to releases of this platform already supported by WebSphere MQ. A WebSphere® MQ MQI client is a component of the IBM® WebSphere MQ product that can be installed on a system on which no queue manager runs. Using an IBM WebSphere MQ MQI client, an application running on the same system as the client can connect to a.

I'm hoping I'm missing something simple. I am a novice in IBM MQ

Feb 15, 2018  IBM MQ queue manager and clients communicate using a proprietary protocol, so you definitely need to use IBM MQ Client binaries (dlls or lib or jars depending on language you are comfortable with) to put/get messages to/from a queue. I am sure the JMSToolbox mentioned by @titou10 runs on top of IBM MQ JMS jars. WebSphere MQ for Windows V5.3 Quick Beginnings 'What's new in WebSphere MQ for Windows, Version 5 Release 3' WebSphere MQ does not support SSL on the Windows 98 client. Chapter 1, 'Planning to install the WebSphere MQ for Windows Server'.

My organisation distributes XML messages via IBM Websphere MQ. Each message represents a record that I simply want to save to a file and clear from the queue.

The current mechanism we have is a poorly understood and overly complex Java program that seems to use both MQ libraries and JMS to do this.

I am hoping to move this to something simpler and easier to maintain, but I can't seem to find a generic 'IBM MQ Client' that can do things like connect to a queue and save the messages. It seems like you have to use binaries or DLLS and build an application around it.

I tried Python as that's closer to my understanding but PyMQI is only for Python 2 (which we don't use) and requires a C compiler which always seems to refuse to work.

The question:

Is there a program out there in windows to simply access a queue and save the messages to a file? We connect periodically so I can just wrap a scheduled task around it.

Yes
If you deal with JMS messages in IBM MQ then JMSToolBox on SourceForge is a tool that will fulfill your needs.

I'm porting a C++ 32 bit application to 64 bit on windows. The application is a client of IBM WebSphere MQ. It uses the MQ client API.

Now, as the port progresses, I'm trying to find a 64 bit client. So far, no luck.

Does anyone here happen to know if where I can find one or confirm that there isn't one?

Websphere MQ 7 for Windows supports x86 and x64, but not Itanium 64-bit. It only officially supports Visual C++ 2005 for development at the moment but IBM usually issues PTFs for toleration on a regular basis so it shouldn't be too long before C++ 2008 support is there.

The statements of support and requirements are hosted on IBM web pages at http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27011920 if you're interested in further details.

Since this is getting lots of views, let's provide the direct link to the WMQ V7 client download. Note that it DOES support 64-bit Windows clients in some versions of Windows.

Websphere Mq Client Commands

The System Requirements page for WMQ v7.0.1 now lists Visual Studio 2008 as supported.

Note that some of the supporting code is 32 bit so the client installs to the Program Files (x86) directory.

The IA94 SupportPac referenced by another poster implements the JMS API over C++ and the supported environments for that SupportPac are a subset of those for the WMQ client. If you are not using the SupportPac, refer to the link above for System Requirements instead.

Websphere Mq Client For Windows Xp

I found this page on IBM's site: IA94: IBM Message Service Client for C/C++. On it there is a link to a readme.txt file which, under 'Supported environments' lists 'Windows 2003 Server x64 edition - Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2005 Service Pack1'.

Hope that helps!
