Hi
I have to resource a machine to install MQSeries on to allow me to try and write an Application to communicate with MQSeries,
What specifications does it take to setup MQSeries on a Machine
ie- Processor/Memory etc
All the info needed would be good .
Also has anyone written any Apps in C++ to communicate with MQSeries before ?
thanks
Stephen

Most important questions:
1) What platform does the machine need to be?
2) What version of MQSeries are you using?
3) Are you going to be using persistent messages and/or syncpoint?
Several hundred people here have probably written C++ applications to talk to MQ, so you won't have any troubles finding help there. You can also visit the software repository from the main page www.mqseries.net and find quite a few C++ sample programs with source code...

1:What platforms does it run on ?
2:I have no version yet, im just about to contact IBM to see what is available ?
3: What is persistent messages and/or syncpoint?
like i said complete newbie, ive done some MSMQ work but thats it as far as messaging goes (which is quite exciting, as i know nothing !!)

1) MQSeries runs on over 25 platforms - all major operating systems are supported.
2) Then you'll be using 5.2 or 5.3 - older versions have different memory/disk space requirements, which is why I asked
3) You'll need to pick up the MQSeries manuals on this one. Or do a search on this site for "persistent" or "syncpoint". These are major concepts in middleware messaging and one should have a deep understanding of them before attempting to utilize them. Here is the link to the IBM MQSeries manuals:

| When you actually get ready to write (or look at) some code, MQSeries ships some sample C++ programs. You might want to look them over. |
