IBM MQ Tutorials

These tutorials show how to perform basic tasks such as creating a queue manager, creating a queue, creating a channel, putting a message onto a queue, and getting a message from a queue. The tutorials are relevant only for Multiplatforms.

Each tutorial is divided into several subtasks. We can perform each task by using either of the following interfaces:

The first tutorial shows you how to set up a simple local stand-alone installation that has no communication links with any other installations of IBM MQ. Each of the subsequent tutorials then builds upon IBM MQ objects that have been set up during previous tutorials. Therefore, it is recommended that these tutorials are completed in order.

The tutorials are designed to get you started with IBM MQ, and do not cover the more complex messaging scenarios.

  1. Tutorial 1: Sending a message to a local queue
    A tutorial to set up a queue manager, create a queue, put a test message onto the queue, and verify the receipt of the message.
  2. Tutorial 2: Sending a message to a remote queue
