Establishing a TCP connection

Information about configuring a TCP connection and next steps.

To establish a TCP connection, follow these steps.

1. Edit the file /etc/services. Note: To edit the /etc/services file, you must be logged in as a superuser or root. If we do not have the following line in that file, add it as shown:

   MQSeries       1414/tcp      # MQSeries channel listener
   

2. Edit the file /etc/inetd.conf. If we do not have the following line in that file, add it as shown:

   MQSeries stream tcp nowait mqm MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/bin/amqcrsta amqcrsta
   [-m queue.manager.name]
   

   MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH represents the high-level directory in which IBM MQ is installed.

3. Find the process ID of the inetd with the command:

   ps -ef | grep inetd
   

4. Run the appropriate command, as follows:
   • For Solaris 9:

     kill -1 inetd processid
     

   • For Solaris 10 or later:

     inetconv
     

What next?

The TCP/IP connection is now established. You are ready to complete the configuration. Go to IBM MQ for Solaris configuration.
