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.

About this task

This tutorial shows you how to set up a queue manager QM_APPLE and a queue Q1 on a local stand-alone installation that has no communication links with any other installations of IBM MQ . When the objects have been defined, there are multiple tools that may be used to test the setup. The first task is to put a test message. This task can be completing by using the IBM MQ Explorer, or the distributed platform amqsput program. The second task is to verify that the message was added to the queue. This task can be completed by using the IBM MQ Explorer, or the distributed platform amqsget program.

When you have completed Tutorial 1, we should have a basic understanding of how IBM MQ messaging works in a simple messaging topology that has a queue manager with local queues.
