#QLOAD allows users to upload messages onto #IBMMQ queues using files of almost any format by describing where the messages are in the file with delimiters, including tags, separator characters, or line breaks. mqgem.wordpress.com/2019/08/20/qlo…

Learn why defining user formats in #MQEdit for your #IBMMQ MQSTR messages is extremely useful for problem solving message issues! mqgem.wordpress.com/2016/12/19/use…

Do you think your applications should be using the #IBMMQ Read Ahead feature? Do you know whether they actually are using it? Find out how here. mqgem.wordpress.com/2023/10/09/app…

Another post from the back-catalog, again, still regularly viewed. @MoragHughson answers the question on how you can have more Connections than MaxChannels in your #IBMMQ Queue Manager mqgem.wordpress.com/2016/06/23/max…

Looking for tools that allow you to delete a single message from an #IBMMQ queue? MQGem has got you covered with #MO71 #MQGemQ #QLOAD and #MQEdit all offering this task to save you needing to switch context. mqgem.wordpress.com/2021/03/12/del…

Use #MO71 to do a Mini-Health Check on your #IBMMQ Queue Managers mqgem.wordpress.com/2017/05/17/min…

Remember! You don't have to disable CHLAUTH altogether, just because you have the requirement to allow remote access to some privileged admins for your #IBMMQ queue managers mqgem.wordpress.com/2013/05/23/chl…

What versions of #IBMMQ client should you be using? The design of MQ might allow any to any version, but there is more to think about than that. mqgem.wordpress.com/2024/01/15/mq-…

Here's a very simple example of the power of the #MQSCX =WHERE clause. It's like the #IBMMQ MQSC WHERE clause but with most of the restrictions removed. mqgem.wordpress.com/2020/06/05/sim…

Not all #IBMMQ events are equal, some you'd probably like to hold onto for longer than others. Learn how #MQEV allows you to do this and choose how long to keep the events you have captured based on any criteria you need. mqgem.wordpress.com/2020/01/13/ret…

An oldie but a goodie. This continues to be a regularly viewed post on our blog. Worth another look? I look at all the ways the MCAUSER can be set on an #IBMMQ channel. mqgem.wordpress.com/2015/05/13/all…

This article by Aiden Gallagher, Kim Clark, and Callum Jackson, describes how #IBMMQ clustering simplifies messaging architectures, improves operational efficiency, and looks at some of the more advanced topology considerations. developer.ibm.com/articles/mq-cl…

Want to be able to see which instance of your Multi Instance (or other active/passive HA) #IBMMQ Queue Manager is currently connected to in #MO71? mqgem.wordpress.com/2016/11/23/vis…

Want to learn about #IBMMQ Clients and how to build and use a CCDT? Try our online #training modules. They are great value for money. There's one entitled "Configuring Clients for Connectivity" that covers this and more. See mqgem.com/training.html #education

New article by Aiden Gallagher, Kim Clark, and Callum Jackson all about understanding #IBMMQ clusters from basic to advanced topologies developer.ibm.com/articles/mq-cl…

Messaging remains an important part of an integration landscape especially as customers move to more hybrid platforms and domains. Learn how messaging networks helps you safely send messages and why #IBMMQ is the go to solution youtube.com/shorts/H1MRBw_…
