Re: MQ Series question

["Michael Ryan" <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well...there's the 'official' IBM site at
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/integration/wmq/

and DeveloperWorks has some pretty good stuff...

and this is a pretty good site: http://www.mqseries.net/.

Basically, after you have TCP/IP connectivity between the systems,
it's a matter  of deciding the roles. You can either use MQ Client or
MQ Server on the Wintel platform - you have to use MQ Server  on the
System i. Well...you can also use JMS on the System i, but the
standard is to use MQ Server. The difference in the roles on Wintel is
where the queues are: MQ Client indicates the queues exist on the
server (System i), MQ Server indicates that both systems have queues
that point to each other.

MQ Client is free; MQ Server costs.

Timeframe is a day is you've done it before or have a good reference.

Here's an article:

I've done it a bunch of times...drop me an email off list and I'm sure
I can help.
