Background

This console app tests connectivity to an IBM MQ queue manager and a related queue. It was developed to test different connectivity options.

The app uses the IBMMQDotnetClient.

Usage

Update the appsettings.json file with the configuration you want to test and run the app.

The default configuration is in the appsettings file and looks something like this:

{
	"Settings": {
		"ConnectionProperties": {
			"CHANNEL_PROPERTY": "DEV.APP.SVRCONN",
			"HOST_NAME_PROPERTY": "127.0.0.1",
			"PASSWORD_PROPERTY": "passw0rd",
			"PORT_PROPERTY": "1414",
			"TRANSPORT_PROPERTY": "MQSeries Managed Client",
			"USER_ID_PROPERTY": "app"
		},
		"QueueManagerName": "QM1",
		"QueueName": "DEV.QUEUE.1",
		"QueueOpenOptions": 9
		}
}
