Set up a receiver workstation

 

Use the following steps to set up the receiver:

1. Create a default queue manager called QMB. At the command prompt, enter the following command:

   crtmqm -q QMB

   Messages tell you that the queue manager is created, and that the default WebSphere MQ objects are created.

2. Start the queue manager. Enter the following command:

   strmqm

   A message tells you when the queue manager starts.

3. Open a new command prompt window and enable MQSC commands. Enter the following command:

   runmqsc

   The message Starting WebSphere MQ Commands is displayed when MQSC starts. MQSC has no command prompt.

4. In the MQSC window, define a local queue called APPLE.QUEUE. Enter the following command:

   define qlocal(apple.queue)

   The message WebSphere MQ queue created is displayed when the queue is created.

5. In the MQSC window, create a receiver channel. Enter the following command:

   define channel(QMA.QMB) chltype(rcvr) trptype(tcp)

6. Verification requires you to start the default WebSphere MQ listener on the port number that you specified when setting up the sender workstation in step 7. By default the listener will listen on port 1414. If you did not change the default port whilst defining the sender channel on the sender workstation, no action is required, proceed to the next step. If you specified a port other than 1414 whilst setting up the sender workstation, alter the definition of the SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LISTENER.TCP. For example, to use port 1415, enter the following command in the MQSC window:

   alter listener(system.default.listener.tcp) trptype(tcp)
   port(port_number) Where:

   port_number

   is the number of the port the listener should run on. This must be the same as the number used when defining your sender channel.

7. In the MQSC window, start the default WebSphere MQ listener by entering the following command:

   start listener(system.default.listener.tcp)

8. In the MQSC window, verify the listener process has started by executing the command:

   display lsstatus(*)

9. In the MQSC window, stop MQSC. Enter the following command:

   end

You have now defined the following objects:

• A default queue manager called QMB

• A queue called APPLE.QUEUE

• A receiver channel called QMA.QMB
