Verifying a server-to-server installation

If you do not want to use the Postcard application, you can use the following procedures to verify a server-to-server installation.

These procedures are more complex than for a local installation, because the communications link between the two machines must be checked. Before you can do this, you must ensure that the communications protocol is installed and configured on both systems. WebSphere® MQ for Windows® supports TCP, SNA, NetBios and SPX. This example explains how to verify your installation if you use TCP. If you use SNA, refer to WebSphere MQ Intercommunication.

To test the installation, you must set up two workstations, one as a sender and one as a receiver.
