Module 2 Tasks - Newsgroups

OK I am going to admit defeat and move on, I really could not find a newsgroup that I wanted to post to. Instead I have dug up an old posting to a technical forum, yes I know not quite a newsgroup, but I believe the concept is the same and I find these forums a lot more useful than most of the newsgroups I have looked at.

Hi

We are currently migrating a JMS application from WAS4 to WAS5.1, and have been unable to get the application to work. As far as I understood, the only difference in configuring WAS was that in WAS4 you used JMSadmin, but in WAS5.1 I would have to use the adminconsole to define the queue connection factory and the queue destinations.

We are running websphere mq 5.3 (csd06) on a seperate server to the WAS boxes, and have installed the MQ client onto the WAS boxes

I have configured the QCF and Q destination using the WAS adminconsole, and i have set the MQ_INSTALL_ROOT to point to the installation directory for the websphere MQ client libraries.

The application itself places a message on a remote queue definition on the Websphere MQ server, which is transmitted to another queue manager running on our mainframe, the application then sets up some sort of receiver to wait for a reply message on a temporary queue. However after migrating to WAS5.1, the receiver times out (as the message seems to arrive on the transmission queue, but does not go any further) . On further investigation (and after changing the remote queue to a local queue on the MQ server) I noticed that the queue depth for the queue that the message was being sent to was incrementing by one, but on trying to browse the message in MQ explorer, there appear to be no message on the queue? There are also no errors being generated either on the appserver side, or in websphere MQ?

Unfortunately I am posing this question from a WAS administrator point of view, as I have not developed the java application myself, so I am wondering if perhaps changes to the code might be required when migrating the app from WAS4 to WAS5.1(has the JMS API changed??), or if there is some further configuration required in WAS5? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

regards
Lisa
