Hi,
Platform : Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
Output of cmd : dspmqver
| Code: |
Name: WebSphere MQ
Version: 6.0.2.1
CMVC level: p600-201-070323
BuildType: IKAP - (Production) |
How can I verify that only the MQ Client or only the MQ Server or both are installed on a machine?
Regards

look in the Registry for the installed components...

| For the MQ server you can run the postcard sample applications also to test the mq installation |

A quick method is to look in MQ's "bin" directory. If crtmqm is there, Server is installed. If not, Client is installed (there will only be a few files in bin).

For a developer it is sometimes better to look for a shared library. If mqm.dll is installed it's on a server.

Yeah, programmatically they can try to load the shared/dynamic library or get the attributes of the directorypath/filename, and test for success or failure.

The easiest way is to Programs-->MQ and check if MQ explorer is present, if yes then its a server, if you can only see Remove latest CSD then its a client.

Or they've downloaded the MQExplorer as a support pac.

Or they installed MQ Server and choose not to install the MQ Explorer option.
Whether MQ Explorer is installed or not has nothing to do with whether MQ Client and/or MQ Server is installed.

I think we'd all agree that it would be nice if someday IBM decided to return either "WebSphere MQ Server" or "WebSphere MQ Client" from dspmqver

The registry does tell you this as key ProductType.
I admit it would be nice to get this information without digging into the registry but it is there. |

On Windows, I have a tool called "MQWhat" that dumps important MQ registry information. Should I open source it?

Perhaps more cool than your port scanner.
