Verify a server-to-server installation

 

If you do not want to use the Postcard application, we can use the following procedures to verify a server-to-server installation.

These procedures are more complex than for a local installation, because the communications link between the two machines must be checked. Before you can do this, ensure that the communications protocol is installed and configured on both systems. WebSphere MQ for Windows supports TCP, SNA, NetBios and SPX. This example explains how to verify your installation if you use TCP. If you use SNA, refer to WebSphere MQ Intercommunications.

To test the installation, set up two workstations, one as a sender and one as a receiver.

• Set up a sender workstation
  

• Set up a receiver workstation
  

• Starting the channels
  

• Testing communication between the workstations
