RIP: MQ Technical Conference

February 19, 2019 Roger Lacroix

Capitalware Inc. is a small software company specializing in IBM MQ. Capitalware used to be a vendor at IBM’s Transaction and Messaging Technical Conferences (T&M Conference). IBM merged several conferences including the T&M Conference into Impact 2007. I went as a vendor to Impact 2007 but found that most attendees were not involved in MQ. […]

More Spam Garbage

February 4, 2019 Roger Lacroix

For the last week, I have been receiving the following emails (and variations) to a variety of email accounts for the different domains I have. I have been laughing about it, deleting them and moving on. But today is Monday and I’m in no mood for this crap. Hey dumb ass spammers, I’ll let some […]

Sad News Regarding Søren Hansen

January 24, 2019 Roger Lacroix

Today, I was trying to reach Søren Hansen of SystemUdvikling. His wife (Birgitte Ryberg) responded and said that Søren had died of cancer in December 2018. I just thought I should let everyone know and express my sincerest condolences to his family and friends. Søren ran his own company called SystemUdvikling. SystemUdvikling was a partner […]

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?“. During the discussion, they brought up a couple of interesting comments: How to correlate […]

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 […]

Here We Go Again!

December 13, 2018 Roger Lacroix

Capitalware is being forced to change our online shopping cart again. Ugh! When Capitalware started selling software in 2003 (yup, a long time ago), I signed up with RegSoft (owned by Digital River) to handle the online shopping cart. Everything worked well and I was happy with the setup. In January 2011, Digital River decided […]

Capitalware IniFile GUI Tools Updated

November 26, 2018 Roger Lacroix

If you read my ‘Size Matters’ blog posting, this is just a continuation but for Capitalwre’s IniFile GUI Tools. Many of Capitalware’s back-end solutions have a lot of keyword/value pairs, so each product has an associated IniFile GUI Tool program to make it easier for the MQAdmin to configure the IniFile rather than using notepad […]

Size Matters

November 15, 2018 Roger Lacroix

Ha! Got your attention. 🙂 This posting is not what you think it is about! So, get your mind out of the gutter. 🙂 A couple of weeks ago, a customer using MQ Visual Edit sent me a screenshot of an issue they were having. The column label on one of the windows was truncated. […]
