February 13, 2019 Roger Lacroix

Customer Requested Updates to MQMR

January 22, 2019 Roger Lacroix

MQ Message Replication (MQMR) is an MQ API Exit. An MQ API Exit is configured to run within the queue manager’s address space (or the application’s address space if the application connects in bindings mode to the queue manager). I designed MQMR to be extremely light-weight when replicating messages to target queues. MQMR determines if […]

Customer Requested Updates to MQCCI

January 7, 2019 Roger Lacroix

In December, I had a call with a potential customer regarding MQ Channel Connection Inspector (MQCCI). Their security concerns were similar to what I posted several months ago in “So You Secured MQ But How Do You Know It Is Secure?“.

New MQCE and MQCT IniFile GUI Tools

January 7, 2019 Roger Lacroix

Since I had a little free time in December, I decided to create IniFile GUI Tools for both MQ Channel Encryption (MQCE) and MQ Channel Throttler (MQCT). Previously, I never bothered creating IniFile GUI Tools for those 2 products because they don’t have many keyword parameters but I figured “why not”, if it makes the […]

Update to Java MQ PCF Code Samples

Tim Zielke posted a comment to my blog posting of Java MQ Code to List Channel Status about an extra PCF response from a z/OS queue manager that caused the code to throw an exception.

Static Analysis of Java Code

December 10, 2018 Roger Lacroix

A few weeks ago, I was reading Java Magazine and in the current issue, it was reviewing the results of a Java Developer survey. One of the questions in the survey was “Which static quality tools do you use?”. I guess I’m part of the 36% of the people (results of the survey) who don’t […]
