Customer Requested Updates to MQMR

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

Static Analysis of Java Code

A few weeks ago, I was reading Java Magazine and in the current issue, it was reviewing the results of a Java Developer survey. One of the questions in the survey was “Which static quality tools do you use?”. I guess I’m part of the 36% of the people (results of the survey) who don’t […]
