Installing and configuring using the graphical user interface

Install IBM MQ on Windows by using the installation launchpad and verify your installation by using IBM MQ Explorer. After verifying your installation, create a queue manager and a queue, and then try putting a message to the queue and getting a message from the queue.

This scenario was tested with IBM MQ Version 8.0.0.0 on a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (SP 1) operating system.

• Installing using the launchpad
  
• Create a queue manager called QM1
  
• Create a queue called LQ1
  
• Put a message to the queue LQ1
  
• Getting a message from the queue LQ1
