Queue Manager Interconnection

In this post I am going to briefly demonstrate MQ intercommunication. What I mean by intercommunication is allowing a message to be put on a local queue on a local queue manager and to have that message sent to a remote queue on a remote queue manager.
  
High level Steps create the MQ intercommunication :

Destination QMGR
1:  Create the Destination QMGR
2: Create Local queue where the message needs to be received
3: Define Listener and Start the Listener
4: Create Receiver Channel with same name as the Sender channel
5: Start the Receiver Channel

Source QMGR
1: Create the QMGR
2: Define Transmission Queue
3: Create Sender Channel
4: Create Remote Queue Definitions
5: Start the Sender Channel

        Detailed Steps  
==================================================================
Destination Queue Manager

1: Create a Destination Queue Manager QM02

[mqm@middlewaretech ~]$ crtmqm QM02

There are 82 days left in the trial period for this copy of WebSphere MQ.
WebSphere MQ queue manager created.
Directory '/var/mqm/qmgrs/QM02' created.
The queue manager is associated with installation 'Installation1'.
Creating or replacing default objects for queue manager 'QM02'.
Default objects statistics : 74 created. 0 replaced. 0 failed.
Completing setup.
Setup completed.

2. Start Queue Manager QM02

[mqm@middlewaretech ~]$ strmqm QM02

There are 82 days left in the trial period for this copy of WebSphere MQ.
WebSphere MQ queue manager 'QM02' starting.
The queue manager is associated with installation 'Installation1'.
5 log records accessed on queue manager 'QM02' during the log replay phase.
Log replay for queue manager 'QM02' complete.
Transaction manager state recovered for queue manager 'QM02'.
WebSphere MQ queue manager 'QM02' started using V7.5.0.2.


3:  Enter the MQSC prompt of QM02 and create Local Queue in the Dest QMGR where the message is to be received from the Source QMGR QM01

[mqm@middlewaretech ~]$ runmqsc QM02
5724-H72 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 2011.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Starting MQSC for queue manager QM02.

 DEFINE QLOCAL(QL.A)
     1 : DEFINE QLOCAL(QL.A)
AMQ8006: WebSphere MQ queue created.
end
 2 : end
1 MQSC commands read.
No commands have a syntax error.
One valid MQSC command could not be processed.

4. Define  a listener for the QM02 which allows our sending queue manager (QM01) to connect via channel. We are going to make the listener use port 24000.

[mqm@middlewaretech ~]$ runmqsc QM02
5724-H72 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 2011.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Starting MQSC for queue manager QM02.

DEFINE LISTENER(QM02.LISTENER) TRPTYPE(TCP) PORT(24000) IPADDR(192.168.1.12)
     1 : DEFINE LISTENER(QM02.LISTENER) TRPTYPE(TCP) PORT(24000) IPADDR(192.168.1.12)
AMQ8626: WebSphere MQ listener created.
START LISTENER(QM02.LISTENER)
     2 : START LISTENER(QM02.LISTENER)
AMQ8021: Request to start WebSphere MQ listener accepted.
DISPLAY LSSTATUS(QM02.LISTENER)
     3 : DISPLAY LSSTATUS(QM02.LISTENER)
AMQ8631: Display listener status details.
   LISTENER(QM02.LISTENER)                 STATUS(RUNNING)
   PID(4936)                               STARTDA(2016-01-10)
   STARTTI(19.12.16)                       DESCR( )
   TRPTYPE(TCP)                            CONTROL(MANUAL)
   IPADDR(::ffff:192.168.1.12)             PORT(24000)
   BACKLOG(100)             
end
     4 : end
3 MQSC commands read.
No commands have a syntax error.

 I have started Listener and status is running.
You will notice in this listener I added the ipaddr parameter this is to show that you can see what ipaddress you wish to listen on. This is key for intercommunication. Remember firewalls will need to be configures if you have them to allow communication on these ports.

5. Define the Receiver Channel CHL(QM01.QM02)

[mqm@middlewaretech ~]$ runmqsc QM02
5724-H72 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 2011.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Starting MQSC for queue manager QM02.
                      
DEFINE CHL(QM01.QM02) CHLTYPE(RCVR) REPLACE TRPTYPE(TCP)
     1 : DEFINE CHL(QM01.QM02) CHLTYPE(RCVR) REPLACE TRPTYPE(TCP)
AMQ8014: WebSphere MQ channel created.
end
     2 : end
1 MQSC commands read.
No commands have a syntax error.
One valid MQSC command could not be processed.

Source Queue Manager

1: Create the source queue manager QM01 and start it

[mqm@middlewaretech ~]$ crtmqm QM01
There are 82 days left in the trial period for this copy of WebSphere MQ.
WebSphere MQ queue manager created.
Directory '/var/mqm/qmgrs/QM01' created.
The queue manager is associated with installation 'Installation1'.
Creating or replacing default objects for queue manager 'QM01'.
Default objects statistics : 74 created. 0 replaced. 0 failed.
Completing setup.
Setup completed.

2. Start Queue Manager QM01

[mqm@middlewaretech ~]$ strmqm QM01
There are 82 days left in the trial period for this copy of WebSphere MQ.
WebSphere MQ queue manager 'QM01' starting.
The queue manager is associated with installation 'Installation1'.
5 log records accessed on queue manager 'QM01' during the log replay phase.
Log replay for queue manager 'QM01' complete.
Transaction manager state recovered for queue manager 'QM01'.
WebSphere MQ queue manager 'QM01' started using V7.5.0.2.

3. Create the Transmission Queue : QM02.XMITQ and Define the Remote Queue Definitions with Remote Queue Name and Remote QMGR Name

we need to do now is create a transmission queue on QM01. We require a transmission queue to be able to talk to a channel object. We use a channel to allow QM01 to talk to QM02. We will also need to create a remote queue definition which will represent our remote queue QL.A on QM02 which we want to send messages to.

     2 : DEFINE QREMOTE(QRMT02) RNAME(QL.A) RQMNAME(QM02) XMITQ(QC02.XMITQ)
AMQ8006: WebSphere MQ queue created.

end
     3 : end
2 MQSC commands read.
No commands have a syntax error.
All valid MQSC commands were processed.

  4. Create the Sender Channel QM01.QM02  with these details

a)  CHLTYPE and TRPTYPE ( as we are using TCP protocol for connection )
b) CONNAME ( Use the Ip address of the Destination QMGR and the port of the Dest Listener)
c) XMITQ ( Use the Transmission Queue for the senders channel )

NOTE : The Sender Channel Name created here should be same as the Receive Channel created for the Destination QMGR QM02

[mqm@middlewaretech bin]$ 


4.What we want to do now is put a message on the remote queue definition QRMT02  in  in the source Qmgr QM01 . and see if it arrives on the remote queue manager.

 If the configurations are proper then this message should be received by the Destination Queue QL.A on Qmgr QM02

[mqm@middlewaretech bin]$ pwd
/opt/mqm/samp/bin

[mqm@middlewaretech bin]$ ./amqsput QRMT02 QM01
Sample AMQSPUT0 start
target queue is QRMT02
This is test message

Sample AMQSPUT0 end
[mqm@middlewaretech bin]$ 
[mqm@middlewaretech bin]$ ./amqsgbr QL.A QM02
Sample AMQSGBR0 (browse) start
QM02
Messages for QL.A                                            
1 <This is test message>
no more messages
Sample AMQSGBR0 (browse) end

So the Message would flow internally from
