Testing the installation

 

Before completing this task have created a queue manager called venus.queue.manager and a local queue called ORANGE.QUEUE. For instructions on how to do this see Setting up the installation.

To test the queue manager and queue, use the amqsput sample program to put a message on the queue, and the amqsget sample program to get the message back from the queue:

  1. Log on as a user in group mqm, if you are not already.

  2. Change into the /opt/mqm/samp/bin directory, which contains the sample programs.

  3. Put a message on the queue using the following command: 
    ./amqsput ORANGE.QUEUE
    The following messages are displayed: 
    Sample AMQSPUT0 start
target queue is ORANGE.QUEUE

  4. Type some message text, on one or more lines, followed by a blank line. The following message is displayed: 
    Sample AMQSPUT0 end
    Your message is now on the queue and the command prompt is displayed again.

  5. To get the message from the queue... 
    ./amqsget ORANGE.QUEUE
    The sample program starts, and your message is displayed. After a pause, the sample ends and the command prompt is displayed again.

You have now successfully verified your local installation.
