Verify 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 the IBM MQ MQI client installation completed successfully and that the communication link is working.
- Verify a local server installation using the command line on AIX
On AIX systems, we can verify a local server installation by using the command line to create a simple configuration of one queue manager and one queue.- Verify a server-to-server installation using the command line on AIX
We can verify a server-to-server installation using two servers, one as a sender and one as a receiver.- Verify 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. We 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.Parent topic: Install and uninstall IBM MQ on AIX
