IBM MQ macOS toolkit for developers

February 7, 2019 Roger Lacroix

IBM releases IBM MQ macOS toolkit for developers. I’m shocked and wildly surprised that IBM did this. https://developer.ibm.com/messaging/2019/02/05/ibm-mq-macos-toolkit-for-developers/ This toolkit provides the ability to develop and interact directly with MQ from your Mac, for developers using the language interfaces; such as C, C++, COBOL, GoLang, and Node.js; which are built on the platform-native C library […]

Update to Java MQ PCF Code Samples

December 11, 2018 Roger Lacroix

Tim Zielke posted a comment to my blog posting of Java MQ Code to List Channel Status about an extra PCF response from a z/OS queue manager that caused the code to throw an exception. So, I updated line # 156 in MQListChannelStatus01.java to be: You can download the updated source code for MQListChannelStatus01.java from […]

Java Code to Open a Web Page

November 7, 2018 Roger Lacroix

Some times the simplest things drive you nuts. 🙂 The Desktop class (java.awt.Desktop) was introduced in Java v1.6.

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 […]

August 2, 2018 Roger Lacroix

If you have done the runmqsc command for Queue Status of Type ‘Queue’ for all queues of a queue manager […]
