Sending a message from a client to a server

Before you begin

Before putting a test message on the queue, you must already have completed the following tasks in this tutorial:

In this part of the tutorial, you will send a message from the client to the server queue manager QM_ORANGE, which uses the remote queue definition and other IBM MQ objects defined in earlier tutorials to route the message onto queue manager QM_APPLE and to queue Q1.

On Windows, the sample programs are installed by default with IBM MQ Server or Client.

On Linux , the sample programs RPM will need to be installed.

Open a command prompt on the client and follow these steps:

Procedure

Start the amqsputc sample program as follows:
- On Linux, change to the MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/samp/bin directory, where MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH represents the high-level directory in which IBM MQ is installed. Type the command:
```
./amqsputc Q1
```
- On Windows, type the command:
```
amqsputc Q1
```
The following messages are displayed:Sample AMQSPUT0 start
target queue is Q1
Type some message text on one or more lines, then press Enter twice. The following message is displayed:Sample AMQSPUT0 end

Results

You have now created a test message and sent it to the server queue manager QM_ORANGE, which routes it onto queue Q1 on queue manager QM_APPLE. The next task is to verify that the test message was received.
