RFE: Add Support for Channel Security Exit in AMQP & MQTT Channels

November 3, 2015 Roger Lacroix

All, I need everyone’s help in getting IBM to add a missing feature to AMQP & MQTT channels. When IBM added direct support for MQTT to an MQ queue manager, I didn’t look very carefully at how IBM implemented the channel attributes (busy doing other things). Now IBM has added AMQP channel as of MQ […]

Head, Apply Wall To It Several Times!

October 6, 2015 Roger Lacroix

If you don’t like that title, how about “How to out smart yourself and shoot yourself in the foot, all at the same time!” or “No smart deed goes unpunished!”. In the summer of 2014, I decided to clean up up some compiler warning messages that certain compilers (HP-UX cc comes to mind) were complaining […]

A Better MD Class than IBM’s MQMD Class

August 14, 2015 Roger Lacroix

This is a follow up to my blog posting last week titled: Java MQMD class Weirdness. After beating my head against the wall, I gave up on the ‘com.ibm.mq.headers.MQMD’ class and went back to my own MD (Message Descriptor) class. At least I know it works. 🙂 The reason I originally created my MD class […]

Java MQMD class Weirdness

August 5, 2015 Roger Lacroix

I’m trying to use the MQMD class in a Java application and I’m getting weird results. I tested it with both MQ JAR files from v7.5.0.2 and v8.0.0.2 with JVM of v1.7.0. Note: All of my testing was done in ‘client mode’ (not bindings mode). The first odd thing is that MQMD class is in […]

Another New Feature being added to MQAUSX (and z/MQAUSX)

July 6, 2015 Roger Lacroix

A customer requested a solution to a problem that is not really an MQ Authenticate User Security Exit (MQAUSX) issue. The customer has several applications that, shall we say, are poorly written and they will not likely be changed. These particular customer applications connect, open, put (and/or get), close and disconnect from the queue manager […]
