Verifying an IBM MQ installation on AIX

Verifying an IBM MQ installation on AIX

The topics in this section provide instructions on how to verify a server or a client installation of IBM MQ on AIX systems.

About this task
We can verify a local (stand-alone) server installation or a server-to-server installation of the IBM MQ server:

A local server installation has no communication links with other IBM MQ installations.
A server-to-server installation does have links to other installations.

We can also verify that your IBM MQ MQI client installation completed successfully and that the communication link is working.

Verifying a local server installation on AIX
We can use either the command line or the postcard application to verify a local (stand-alone) installation on HP-UX.
Verifying a server-to-server installation on AIX
We can use either the command line or the postcard application to verify a server-to-server installation on AIX.
Verifying a client installation using the command line on AIX
We can verify a client installation using the command line. On the server you create a queue manager, a local queue, a listener, and a server-connection channel. You must also apply security rules to allow the client to connect and make use of the queue defined. On the client you create a client-connection channel, and then use the sample PUT and GET programs to complete the verification procedure.
