MQSeries: can't detect queue manager

I've been following this MQSeries Clients tutorial in this web site and get stuck in this pb -
http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/library/manuals/csqzaf/CSQZAF1Q.HTM


On my server, I've run my queue manager. I've also created the channel, queue and client connection. It's my only default queue.manager. I've also run other things like channel initiator, command server, listener.

On my client, I've set the client connection channel using:
C:\>SET MQSERVER=CHAN2/TCP/130.34.13.65(1414)

I've also verify it using:
C:\>SET MQSERVER
MQSERVER=CHAN2/TCP/130.34.13.65(1414)
==========================================================
I've checked my reason code - 2059 at this web site:

http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/library/manuals/csqzak/CSQZAK1V.HTM

I still can't find the something that I've missed. Can you pls offer me suggestions if you've tried this code b4, thanks.
==========================================================
Web Reason:
On MVS/ESA, for CICS applications, this reason can occur on any call if the original connect specified a queue manager whose name was recognized, but which is not available.

My response:
What do they mean by CISC applications? I've checked that MVS is a stand-alone MVS subsystem. If MVS/ESA refers to a platform, then this will cause no pb to me. I'm working on Windows 2000 on Server and Win NT on Server.
=====================================================================================================================
Web Reason:
On OS/400, this reason can also be returned by the MQOPEN and MQPUT1 calls, when MQHC_DEF_HCONN is specified for the Hconn parameter.
If the connection is from an MQ client application, this reason code can occur if there is an error with the client-connection or the corresponding server-connection channel definitions.

My response:
I've set the channel name the same as server's.  I've also verify it.

     > Define client connection channel
       http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/library/manuals/csqzaf/CSQZAF1P.HTM#Header_151
          # create a client-connection channel by setting the MQSERVER environment variable
          # define channel name, transport type and channel connection name

          # Verify channel definition by displaying the current setting
               C:\>SET MQSERVER
               MQSERVER=CHAN2/TCP/130.34.13.65(1414)

=====================================================================================================================
Web Reason:
On MVS/ESA, this reason code can also occur if the optional MVS/ESA client attachment feature has not been installed.

My response:
I think I won't be involved with anything associated with MVS/ESA.
=====================================================================================================================
Web Reason:
This reason also occurs if an application attempts to connect to a queue manager within a group (see the QMgrName parameter of MQCONN), when none of the queue managers in the group is available for connection at this time.

My response:
I've created only one queue manager and made it my default one. It's also connected at that time.
=====================================================================================================================
Web Reason:
Corrective action: Ensure that the queue manager has been started. If the connection is from a client application, check the channel definitions.

My response:
The channel holds the same name as declared in server.

=====================================================================================================================

Dawn.

Did you try connecting to the QueueManager from command prompt and run few MQ commands.
I mean did u try running >runmqsc <qmgr>
If you do not pass qmgr parameter, u connect to the default queue manager. And see if you are able to connect.
Incase it says your queuemanager is not running. start your queuemanager using >strmqm
and then try running >runmqsc

And i guess 'amqsputc' takes only 2 parameters.

Extract from help file:

Running the amqsput and amqsputc samples
These programs each take 2 parameters:

The name of the target queue (required)
The name of the queue manager (optional)
If a queue manager is not specified, amqsput connects to the default queue manager and amqsputc connects to the queue manager identified by an environment variable or the client channel definition file. To run these programs, enter one of the following:

amqsput myqueue qmanagername

amqsputc myqueue qmanagername

where myqueue is the name of the queue on which the messages are going to be put, and qmanagername is the queue manager that owns myqueue.




Running the amqsputw sample
 
This program has no visible interface; all messages are put in the output file.

This program takes 4 parameters:

The name of the output file (required)
The name of the input file (required)
The name of the queue manager (required)
The name of the target queue (optional)
To run amqsputw from the Windows program manager:


Select File and click on Run...

On the run dialog, enter into the command line entry field the program name followed by the parameters.
For example:

  amqsputw outfile.out infile.in qmanagername myqueue

where:

outfile.out is used to hold the messages generated when the program runs.

infile.in contains the data to be put onto the target queue. Each line of data is put as a message. This must be an ASCII file.

qmanagername is the queue manager that owns myqueue.

myqueue is the name of the target queue on which the messages are going to be put. If you don't enter a queue name, the default queue for the queue manager is used.

hi viswa ,

Thanks for ur help ... I really need to solve this asap.

hi viswa ,

I've managed to solve this problem.

I've finally executed the java MQIVP !

what I did:
followed amqtac02.pdf docu in MQSeries v5.2 under chapter 7: verifying client installation.

I should have set my execution path to the bin directory of MQSeries too. Eg. C:\Program Files\MQSeries Client\bin

Dawn :)

Thanks for your response when I really need it ...

Dawn.

May I ask you another question instead?

Do I need "Visual Age for Java" program to create and run a Java program that is similar to MQIVP to test client and server message sending? Or JDK 1.2 and MS-DOS are the only 2 things that I need? Can the Java program that I create also be referred as a Java Message Service Application?

thanks ..

Dawn.

Hi,
Sorry that I couldn't respond in between.
To create a MQ app JDK should do along with the MQ api. You have two options while using java.
As given in the programming reference guide
1. Using base MQ java. This app uses the base MQ api.
2. Using the MQ-Jms api. If you use JMS architecture, the app can be ported to a different messaging system in future with very little changes.

So if your java program needs to be referred as a JMS app it has to be designed using JMS.

hi viswa ,

Thanks for your early response :) I really need this information very much to code a "MQIVP similar" java application ...

For 1.
I'll refer to link - http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/library/manualsa/csqzaw04/csqzaw0l.htm 

I've chosen to use
On Server
- MQSeries for the server
- Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)  
  May I ask if this LDAP is available in the MQSeries v5.2 trial s/w?

On Client
- MQSeries Client for client
- Java Developers Kit (JDK)
- MA88: MQSeries classes for Java and MQSeries classes for Java Message Service

Can you pls kindly tell me if this is enough? I'm confused by using "VisualAge for Java" to code a Java Message Service application (consists MQSeries and Java codes).
They've shown a complete setup process in http://www.developer.ibm.com/library/articles/programmer/farrell1.html / Or do you refer this as 2. "Using the MQ-Jms api." ?

Will their coding be different too?

Thanks for helpping me :)

Dawn.


 

gee ... I've found that LDAP is available in the MQSeries v5.2 trial s/w ...

but I still need to know the other above info from you please ...

mm.. thanks, ok ..

thanks, viswa  ..
