Here We Go Again!

December 13, 2018 Roger Lacroix

Capitalware is being forced to change our online shopping cart again. Ugh! When Capitalware started selling software in 2003 (yup, a long time ago), I signed up with RegSoft (owned by Digital River) to handle the online shopping cart. Everything worked well and I was happy with the setup. In January 2011, Digital River decided […]

Language Wars – Maybe Enough Already

October 10, 2018 Roger Lacroix

Maybe I’m just old and grumpy, but I’m tired of surfing the internet and seeing language wars. I just saw this line “100% Java free!” the other day, listed as a product feature and it makes me shake my head. Of all the product features that would sell a product, you want to include that […]

SSL/TLS for capitalware.com

October 5, 2018 Roger Lacroix

Capitalware’s web site has been available as a secure (“https”) web site for several months. In the Summer, I tried turning on the auto redirection from “http” to “https” but it broke my online registration code in MQ Visual Edit, MQ Visual Browse, MQ Batch Toolkit and MQTT Message Viewer. I fixed the issue a […]

JMS (MQRFH2) Message But The User Sees Garbage

April 6, 2018 Roger Lacroix

I swear at least once a month I read about someone complaining that they are seeing garbage (unreadable) output when they try to read their JMS (aka MQRFH2) message in IBM MQ. The user will put a message to a queue with their JMS application then try and read it with a non-JMS tool and […]

New Categories for my Blog

April 5, 2016 Roger Lacroix

I frequently get asked to notify a particular customer of an update/issue/patch for a product. I used to send mass emails to all customers when I needed to notify them of something but I stopped doing this several years ago. Now I say ‘check my blog‘ to find the information. I have created a bunch […]

Using MQ Batch Toolkit to Clear Many Queues

March 8, 2016 Roger Lacroix

Here is another simple script that uses MQ Batch Toolkit (MQBT) to clear hundreds of queues at the same time. Let’s say you have an MQ sandbox or development queue manager that has hundreds of queues that need to be cleared nightly. If all of the queue names have the same high-level qualifier, then the […]

MQVB, MQVE & MQBT JRE Cipher Spec Issue

August 29, 2014 Roger Lacroix

A customer was using MQ Visual Browse (MQVB) and configuring MQVB to use SSL to connect to a remote queue manger (WMQ v7.5.0.2). They said: I am getting error “Reason Code = 2400”, when specifying TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA as the SSL Cipher Spec Name. They also said: We have other MQ Java using SSL working with TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA […]
