Preparing and running Microsoft Transaction Server applications

To prepare an MTS application to run as an IBM MQ MQI client application, follow these instructions as appropriate for the environment.

For general information about how to develop Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) applications that access IBM MQ resources, see the section on MTS in the IBM MQ Help Center.

To prepare an MTS application to run as an IBM MQ MQI client application, do one of the following for each component of the application:

• If the component uses the C language bindings for the MQI, follow the instructions in Preparing C programs in Windows but link the component with the library mqicxa.lib instead of mqic.lib.
• If the component uses the IBM MQ C++ classes, follow the instructions in Building C++ programs on Windows but link the component with the library imqx23vn.lib instead of imqc23vn.lib.
• If the component uses the Visual Basic language bindings for the MQI, follow the instructions in the Preparing Visual Basic programs in Windows but when you define the Visual Basic project, type MqType=3 in the Conditional Compilation Arguments field.
