How to Become a Better Developer?

April 27, 2015 Roger Lacroix

I just read a really good article by Cay Horstmann called ‘How to Become a Better Java Developer’ at InformIT: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=2343471 All novice developers, regardless of the programming language they are learning, should read the article (I strongly suggest it). It has a lot of really good pointers for novice developers. Cay Horstmann has written […]

Java and MQ issues with UFM and MQ v7.5.0.3

March 25, 2015 Roger Lacroix

The last 3-4 weeks have been an interesting and painful, ‘beat your head against the wall’ type of developer nightmare. A customer was getting some very strange behavior with Universal File Mover (UFM) setting the Correlation Id of a message when running as a Windows service. When UFM is watching a directory for files to […]

MQ Java/JMS JAR Files Available Separately

September 23, 2014 Roger Lacroix

For those of us who have been using IBM MQ (aka WebSphere MQ, MQSeries) for a very long time, you may remember SupportPac MA88. SupportPac MA88 contained the MQ Java/JMS JAR files as a separate package. Well, IBM has decided (again) to release MQ Java/JMS JAR files as a separate package: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21683398 Regards, Roger Lacroix […]

Shortlist of Open Source Software that I Use

September 3, 2014 Roger Lacroix

I read this article today: Shortlist of open source software used at NASA lab and I thought I should do a quick write up of the open source (and free) software that I use. I develop/create software under 3 umbrellas: open source, licensed as free and commercial. About half of the software is written in […]

They also said: We have other MQ Java using SSL working with TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA […]

MQ Batch Toolkit and Limiting the Messages Retrieved

August 26, 2014 Roger Lacroix

I don’t write about MQ Batch Toolkit (MQBT) very often, so when I got an MQBT support email today, I thought that the question and answer would make a good blog item. Question: In MQ Batch Toolkit, what command can be issued, for exporting messages to a file, to retrieve all messages on a queue […]
