Communicating with a Queue Manager outside Cluster - Middleware News

Communicating with a Queue Manager outside Cluster - Middleware News


Assumptions:

1. You already have a Queue Manager cluster (named QMGRCLUS) setup with 2 Queue Managers with names QM1 and QM2 and all the requires channels are setup for communication between QM1 and QM2

2. You have QM3, which is outside the cluster

3. QM2 has a Queue [Q2] defined at cluster level.

In this tutorial, let us send message from QM3’s Q3 to QM2’s Q2 and in the reverse path.

In this case one of your Queue Managers should act as a gateway. Say for example, lets make QM1 as the gateway for cluster and QM3 is outside cluster.

Steps:

1. The queue manager outside the cluster must have a QREMOTE definition for each queue in the cluster that it wants to put messages to.

DEFINE QREMOTE(Q2) RNAME(Q2) RQMNAME(QM2) XMITQ(TQ1) [in this case Q2 is a cluster queue and i want to put message from QM3 -> QM2]
2. QM3 must have a SDR channel and TX queue to QM1 and QM1 should have corresponding RCVR channel

For replies:

3. The gateway (QM1) advertises a queue-manager alias for the queue manager outside the cluster. It advertises this alias to the whole cluster by adding the cluster attribute to its queue-manager alias definition.
DEFINE QREMOTE(QM3) RNAME(‘ ‘) RQMNAME(QM4) CLUSTER(QMGRCLUS)
4. QM1 must have a SDR channel and TX queue to QM4 and QM4 should have corresponding RCVR channel.

Observe the below diagram, to understand the setup

Now, you need to define the following, for communicating from QM3 to Cluster and Cluster to QM3.

on QM1:

DEFINE QL(TQ3) USAGE(XMITQ)
DEFINE LISTENER(QM1_LIST) TRPTYPE(TCP) PORT(1111)
DEFINE CHANNEL(TO.QM3) CHLTYPE(SDR) TRPTYPE(TCP) CONNAME(‘localhost(3333)’) XMITQ(TQ3)
DEFINE CHANNEL(TO.QM1) CHLTYPE(RCVR) TRPTYPE(TCP)CONNAME(‘localhost(1111)’)
DEFINE QREMOTE(QM3) RNAME(‘ ‘) RQMNAME(QM3) XMITQ(TQ3) CLUSTER(QMGRCLUS)

on QM2:

DEFINE QL(Q2) CLUSTER(QMGRCLUS)
DEFINE LISTENER(QM2_LIST) TRPTYPE(TCP) PORT(2222)

on QM3:

DEFINE QL(Q3)
DEFINE QL(TQ1) USAGE(XMITQ)
DEFINE LISTENER(QM3_LIST) TRPTYPE(TCP) PORT(3333)
DEFINE CHANNEL(TO.QM1) CHLTYPE(SDR) TRPTYPE(TCP) CONNAME(‘localhost(1111)’) XMITQ(TQ1)
DEFINE CHANNEL(TO.QM3) CHLTYPE(RCVR) TRPTYPE(TCP)CONNAME(‘localhost(3333)’)
DEFINE QREMOTE(Q2) RNAME(Q2) RQMNAME(QM2) XMITQ(TQ1)

Start all the listeners on QM1/2/3 and Ensure all channels are running. First test that you are able to communicate between QM1 and QM2.

Then, you should be able to put messages
QM3[Q3] –> QM2[Q2]
QM2[Q2] –> QM3[Q3]
Similarly, if you have any queue on QM1, create corresponding QREMOTE on QM3(which is outside).

IBM Websphere MQ interview Questions Part 5

MQ Series: - It is an IBM web sphere product which is evolved in 1990’s. MQ series does transportation from one point to other. It is an EAI tool (Middle ware) VERSIONS:-5.0, 5.1, 5.3, 6.0, 7.0(new version). The currently using version is 6.2 Note: – MQ series supports more than 35+ operating systems. It is platform Independent. For every OS we have different MQ series software’s. But the functionality of MQ series Default path for installing MQ series is:- C: programfiles\BM\clipse\SDK30 C: programfiles\IBM\WebsphereMQ After installation it will create a group and user. Some middleware technologies are Tibco, SAP XI. MQ series deals with two things, they are OBJECTS, SERVICES. In OBJECTS we have • QUEUES • CHANNELS • PROCESS • AUTHENTICATION • QUERY MANAGER. In SERVICES we have LISTENERS. Objects: – objects are used to handle the transactions with the help of services. QUEUE MANAGER maintains all the objects and services. QUEUE: – it is a database structure

IBM WebSphere MQ – Common install/uninstall issues for MQ Version on Windows - Middleware News

Creating a log file when you install or uninstall WebSphere MQ WebSphere MQ for Windows is installed using the Microsoft Installer (MSI). If you install the MQ server or client through launchpad , MQPARMS or setup.exe , then a log file is automatically generated in %temp% during installation. Alternatively you can supply parameters on the installation MSI command msiexec to generate a log file, or enable MSI logging system-wide (which generates MSI logs for all install and uninstall operations). If you uninstall through the Windows Add/Remove programs option, no log file is generated. You should either uninstall from the MSI command line and supply parameters to generate a log file, or enable MSI logging system-wide (which generates MSI logs for all install and uninstall operations). For details on how to enable MSI logging, see the following article in the WebSphere MQ product documentation: Advanced installation using msiexec For details on how to enable system-w
