Ive always wanted a sample MQ server, and a buggy C program

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I will be educating some MQ administrators about programming MQ.

For this I needed a simple server, so they could put a message to a server and get a reply. Unfortunately MQ does not provide such a useful little program. The MQ samples have a program to put messages, get messages, and a complex scenario involving triggering, but not a nice simple server.

Ive created one in my MQTools github.

I have also put up a program source which has MQ programming errors, such as trying to put to queue which did not have MQOO_OUTPUT option, I got your message, but where is mine? The aim is that the non programmers have to change one line of code to fix it. If anyone has any suggestions for other common problems, please let me know and I’ll see if I can incorporate them.

I retired from IBM where I worked on MQ on z/OS, and did customer stuff. I retired, and keep my hand in with MQ, by playing with it!
