Java/PCF Program to Delete an IBM MQ Channel

May 26, 2022 Roger Lacroix

A couple of days ago, I posted a Java/PCF program that would create a IBM MQ channel. So, if you require creating a channel via Java/PCF then you probably will need to delete a channel via Java/PCF. If you are used to deleting an IBM MQ channel using runmqsc command then the following simple Java/PCF […]

Java/PCF Program to Create an IBM MQ Queue

May 3, 2022 Roger Lacroix

The other day, someone on StackOverflow asked about creating an IBM MQ queue from JMS. I know it is possible to send PCF commands as a JMS message to the Command Server but it seems overly complex when you can simply do it from Java/PCF (non-JMS). If you are used to creating an IBM MQ […]

Hence, here are the JVM Environment variables that the SimpleLogger Class supports: SimpleLogger.LogFileName – any valid file name SimpleLogger.LogDirectory – […]

My SimpleLogger can be a Replacement for Log4J

December 16, 2021 Roger Lacroix

In this blog post, don’t get me wrong, I think Log4J is a great product and I am not trying to discourage anyone from using it. I have used Log4J v1.x on hundreds of projects for customers and myself. It has always worked exactly as expected. I have never used Log4J v2.x, so I cannot/will […]
