Hi,
I'm writing a small MQ Client application using C on a Solaris machine with a MQ 5.3 client installation. This machine has several network interfaces. The MQ-Server I'm trying to connect to is only reachable through one specific interface (ie 'ping <ip of server>' fails, but 'ping -i <specific interface> <ip of server>' works fine). How can I pass the interface (or the ip it's bound to) to the MQCONNX call? I've had a look at the manual for the C API but didn't find a way to do this.
Are there other solutions to this problem? |

Just specify the specific IP address as the "hostname".
So your connection name would be "ip address(port number)" and not "machine name(port number)".

Thank you for your quick reaction.
Isn't the ip-address in the channel name the ip-address of the host? I need to specify the ip-address (or the interface) of the client, similar to way the 'ping' command gets passed the interface to reach the server through (see my original post). |

you want LOCLADDR, either in a client channel definition or passed on a mqconnx (via MQCD)

Thank's to your hint I've finally found it: it's the 'LocalAddress' element of the 'MQCD' structure. Until now I've been working with 'WebSphere MQ Application programming reference 6.0' (aka 'csqzak10.pdf'). This document doesn't include a description of the 'LocalAddress' element of 'MQCD' (and some other elements too). Can you recommend a better document?
Regards. |
