Examples

Connecting in client mode

var queueManagerName = "QM01";
var channel = "SVRCONN.1";
var connectionInfo = string.Format("{0}({1})", "192.168.99.100", 1414);
var qmgr = MQQueueManager.Connect(queueManagerName, MQC.MQCO_NONE, channel, connectionInfo);
qmgr.Disconnect();

How to put the message on a queue (MQPUT1)

string message = "Put1InQueue";
var queueManagerName = "QM01";
var channel = "SVRCONN.1";
var connectionInfo = "192.168.99.100(1414)";
using (var qmgr = MQQueueManager.Connect(queueManagerName, MQC.MQCO_NONE, channel, connectionInfo))
{
  var outgoing = new MQMessage()
  {
    CharacterSet = MQC.CODESET_UTF,
    Encoding = MQC.MQENC_NORMAL
  };
  outgoing.WriteString(message);

  var od = new MQObjectDescriptor
  {
    ObjectType = MQC.MQOT_Q,
    ObjectName = "QL.QUEUE1"
  };
  qmgr.Put1(od, outgoing, new MQPutMessageOptions());
}

Alternatively, use the Put extension method to make the code cleaner.

using (var qmgr = MQQueueManager.Connect(queueManagerName, MQC.MQCO_NONE, channel, connectionInfo))
{
  var outgoing = new MQMessage()
  {
    CharacterSet = MQC.CODESET_UTF,
    Encoding = MQC.MQENC_NORMAL
  };
  outgoing.WriteString(message);

  qmgr.Put("QL.QUEUE1", outgoing);
}

How to wait for a single message

using (var qmgr = MQQueueManager.Connect(queueManagerName, MQC.MQCO_NONE, channel, connectionInfo))
using (var q = qmgr.AccessQueue("QL.QUEUE1", MQC.MQOO_INPUT_AS_Q_DEF + MQC.MQOO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING))
{
      var incoming = new MQMessage();
      MQGetMessageOptions gmo = new MQGetMessageOptions();
      gmo.WaitInterval = (int) TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30).TotalMilliseconds; // or MQC.MQWI_UNLIMITED;
      gmo.Options |= MQC.MQGMO_WAIT;
      gmo.Options |= MQC.MQGMO_SYNCPOINT;
      q.Get(incoming, gmo);
      Console.WriteLine(incoming.ReadString(incoming.DataLength));
}

How to publish messages on topics (MQPUT1)

using (var qmgr = MQQueueManager.Connect(queueManagerName, MQC.MQCO_NONE, channel, connectionInfo))
{
  var outgoing = new MQMessage()
  {
    CharacterSet = MQC.CODESET_UTF,
    Encoding = MQC.MQENC_NORMAL
  };
  outgoing.WriteString(message);

  var od = new MQObjectDescriptor
  {
    ObjectType = MQC.MQOT_TOPIC,
    ObjectName = string.Empty,
    Version = MQC.MQOD_VERSION_4
  };
  od.ObjectString.VSString = topicName;
  qmgr.Put1(od, outgoing, new MQPutMessageOptions());
}

Alternatively, use the Publish extension method to make the code cleaner.

using (var qmgr = MQQueueManager.Connect(queueManagerName, MQC.MQCO_NONE, channel, connectionInfo))
{
  var outgoing = new MQMessage()
  {
    CharacterSet = MQC.CODESET_UTF,
    Encoding = MQC.MQENC_NORMAL
  };
  outgoing.WriteString(message);
  
  qmgr.Publish("Some/Topic", outgoing);
}

Installation

• As a prerequisite, you first need to install an IBM MQ client in the system where Mmqi.Net is about to be installed; it is a free library offered by IBM on top of which higher-level ones, such as Mmqi.Net, can connect to queue managers. IBM MQ clients can be downloaded from IBM's website. You can dowload the client from here ... IBM MQ V8 Clients
