Running the point-to-point IVT

 

This section describes the point-to-point installation verification test program (IVT) that is supplied with WebSphere MQ JMS.

The IVT verifies the installation by connecting to the default queue manager on the local machine, using the WebSphere MQ JMS in bindings mode. It then sends a message to the SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE queue and reads it back again.

We can run the program in one of two possible modes.

With JNDI lookup of administered objects

JNDI mode forces the program to obtain its administered objects from a JNDI namespace, which is the expected operation of JMS client applications. (See Administering JMS objects for a description of administered objects). This invocation method has the same prerequisites as the administration tool (see Using the WebSphere MQ JMS administration tool).

Without JNDI lookup of administered objects

If you do not want to use JNDI, we can create the administered objects at runtime by running the IVT in non-JNDI mode. Because a JNDI-based repository is relatively complex to set up, run the IVT first without JNDI.
