Offline C Runtime Library Reference

March 14, 2019 Roger Lacroix

Google is a great search engine. When I search for “ftime linux”, the first search hit will be the man page for ftime which is exactly what I wanted. But sometimes I just want the whole manual in PDF format so that I can simply read about functions and scroll through it while I’m trying […]

More RSS Sidebar MQ Content on my Blog

March 7, 2019 Roger Lacroix

You may have noticed for a couple of weeks that the “IBM MQ” content sidebar was not showing anything. That is because IBM again changed the link. IBM doesn’t publish the information and they love to change it every so often, so for me it is like a game of whack-a-mole. Someone sent me the […]

Best Practices for an IBM MQ Channel’s SHARECNV Parameter

March 1, 2019 Roger Lacroix

I was chatting with Josh the other day and he asked me if I knew that IBM now does not recommend uses the default value of 10 for a channel’s SHARECNV (shared conversation) value. He said that the MQ Knowledge Center recommends for distributed queue managers a value of 1 for a channel’s SHARECNV. Of […]

Customer Requested Updates to MQMR

January 22, 2019 Roger Lacroix

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

January 7, 2019 Roger Lacroix

In December, I had a call with a potential customer regarding MQ Channel Connection Inspector (MQCCI). Their security concerns were similar to what I posted several months ago in “So You Secured MQ But How Do You Know It Is Secure?“. During the discussion, they brought up a couple of interesting comments: How to correlate […]

Static Analysis of Java Code

December 10, 2018 Roger Lacroix

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 […]
