Verifying a server-to-server installation

To verify a server-to-server installation using two servers, one as a sender and one as a receiver, complete the following tasks.

To verify a server-to-server installation you need to check the communications link between the two machines. Before you can do this, you must ensure that the communications protocol has been installed and configured on both systems. WebSphere® MQ for Linux®, Version 6.0 (x86 platform) and WebSphere MQ for Linux, Version 6.0 (zSeries® platform) support both TCP and LU6.2. The network protocol supported by WebSphere MQ for Linux, Version 6.0 (POWER™ platform) is TCP/IP. The tasks in this section explain how to verify your installation and use TCP in the examples; if you are using an alternative protocol, refer to the WebSphere MQ Intercommunication manual.

The verification procedure assumes that both systems are Linux or UNIX® machines; if this is not the case, some of the commands are different (for details, refer to the documentation for that system).

Note: WebSphere MQ object definitions are case-sensitive. Any text entered as an MQSC command in lowercase is converted automatically to uppercase unless you enclose it in single quotation marks. Make sure that you type the examples exactly as shown.
