New MQCE and MQCT IniFile GUI Tools

January 7, 2019 Roger Lacroix

Since I had a little free time in December, I decided to create IniFile GUI Tools for both MQ Channel Encryption (MQCE) and MQ Channel Throttler (MQCT). Previously, I never bothered creating IniFile GUI Tools for those 2 products because they don’t have many keyword parameters but I figured “why not”, if it makes the […]

Capitalware IniFile GUI Tools Updated

November 26, 2018 Roger Lacroix

If you read my ‘Size Matters’ blog posting, this is just a continuation but for Capitalwre’s IniFile GUI Tools.

October 26, 2018 Roger Lacroix

As the MQ Technical Conference V2.0.1.8 t-shirts said “MQAdmin: the superhero of middleware messaging!“. Since, you are a “superhero”, you have secured your MQ environment.
