				Greetings.
 
 
I have a customer who is using Data power and wants us to connect our MQ through the internet through SSL /TLS  to their Data power on the DMZ segment is the below possible 
 
 
Case 1
 
 
I am suggesting the below but can MQ IPT connect to Data power ?
 
 
So the flow will  MQ  queue manager  ->  MQ IPT in DMZ on our side   ->  destination uses  Data power  with MQ enabled  ->  MQ Queue Manager 
 
 
Case 2 
 
If  case 1 not possible  what application can be installed on our DMZ to connect to the Data power on the customer side. 
 
 
 MQ  queue manager  -> some application  DMZ on our side   ->  destination uses  Data power MQ  ->  MQ Queue Manager
 
 
 
 
 
 Please share your comments or any links

AFAIK Datapower can only act as a client to MQ.
 
So the flow would be DP->MQIPT->MQ and you would give to DP the MQEndpoint to the MQIPT.  DP would then be able to do a get and do with the message what was needed.

				Thanks for your reply.
 
 
So in this case the mqput and mqget will be done by DP only as it is a queue Manager object which is created on DP. is this correct?

				Thanks for your prompt reply.
 
 
Just to confirm.
 
 
So the flow would be MQ->DP->MQIPT->MQ and would give to DP the MQEndpoint of the MQIPT. 
 
 
So in this case the DP will pull and push messages from both two queue managers. is this true ? 
 
 
we will configure on DP MQ front side handler and MQ back end URL.
 
 
We will do a POC.

				Hi,
 
 
We have got the required network access in the dmz
 
provided the mqipt end point to the datapower 
 
when the DP team do a test mq connection they get an error in dp 1012
 
 
1012 - Connection broken in the initial connection of queue manager.
 
 
Mq ipt logs got the below error. the server connection channel  did not start
 
 
Tue Mar 03 14:33:27 AST 2020 conn accept XXXX(10348)                 XXXX(2000)                   OK       2000-0                                       
 
Tue Mar 03 14:34:27 AST 2020 conn nodata XXXX(10348)                 XXXX(2000)                   OK       2000-0                                       
 
Tue Mar 03 14:34:27 AST 2020 conn close  XXXX(10348)                 XXXX(2000)                   OK       2000-0 
 
 
[route]
 
Name=customer.TO.MQ
 
ListenerPort=2000
 
Destination=XXXX
 
DestinationPort=6000
 
OutgoingPort=0
 
Active=true
 
TcpKeepAlive=true
 
Trace=0
 
IdleTimeout=0     
 
 
The DP team is telling me it is QM issue . restarted the QM and the port is listening on the mq ipt and on the QM
 
 
 
Any ideas to troubleshoot further...

				Look at the MQIPT error logs.
 
Look at the queue manager error logs. _________________ Peter Potkay
