Overview

IBM MQ Adaptor is an add-in Transport Adaptor for FIXServer that allows clients to communicate with FIXServer over IBM MQSeries middleware. The document contains full instructions how to install MQ TA for testing.

Description

MQ Adapter is responsible for:

...

  • IBM MQ Client libraries must be installed on the FIX Edge machine where MQ Adaptor is ran. Third-party libraries are not incuded into TA package. They can be downloaded from  here.
  • Unpack the package and copy MQTAAddin-xx.dll/ MQTAAddin-xx.so  into the FIX Edge /bin folder. Configure adaptor according to the instructions below.

  • Restart FIX Edge.

Configuration

IBM MQ Transport Adaptor can be configured using FIXICC or directly by editing the FIXEdge.properties file of the correspondent FIX Edge instance. All properties to be set up are described in the table below. You can also use FIXEdge.properties file from the package as an example.

...

If you need to setup your own MQ server, you can download can download software from from IBM Site.

Websphere MQ Configuration

...

  1. Create User
    1. Create non-domain user e.g. mquser in 'mqm' group.
    2. Change its domain to local host name e.g. EVUAKYISD0223.
    3. Grant this user permissions to login remotely.
    4. Grant this user Administraive permissions.
  2. Start MQ
    1. Start all MQ services ('IBM MQSeries' and 'IBM Websphere MQ(<InstallationName>)') under user created on previous step.
      In order to change user for service go to Services. Select service and open its properties, go to 'Log On' tab, select 'This user' and specify user credentials.
  3. Configure Manager and Queues
    1. Start MQExplorer.

    2. Add new Queue Manager (e.g. TestMQ)

    3. Add Server-connection channel to created Queue Manager (e.g.  TestConnection )

    4. Set channel MCA with user from step 1.1 ( mquser ):
  4. Image Modified

    Add queues.

Check connection to Queue Manager from remote host

...

  1. Open MQExplorer on remote host
  2. Add Remote Queue Manager performing the following steps:

    1. Specify Queue Manager name

    2. Specify host and Server-connection channel

       

    3. Click Finish

QM should be accessible via remote MQ Explorer.

...

  1. Configure FE using the following sample properties:

    Code Block
    titleFIXEdge.properties
    TransportLayer.TransportAdapters = TransportLayer.MQAdaptor

TransportLayer.MQAdaptor.Session.1.ToClientQueue = MQClient_to
TransportLayer.MQAdaptor.Session.1.ErrorQueue = MQClient_error

  2. Check if Queues are accessible:

Troubleshootting

If MQ TA fails to initialize with record in log "Failed to set character set. Code: some code": make sure QueueManager on server side is running and you are trying to set right code character set.

If the following error message appears while accessing remote MQ manager using MQExplorer MQExplorer

 

you should perform the following steps:

  1. Login to remote server where MQ Instance is running

  2. Open cmd

  3. Run 'runmqsc'. Check if connected to correct QM:

  4. Execute 'ALTER QMGR CHLAUTH(DISABLED)':

  5. Try to reestablish connection by clicking 'No' in the dialog:

  6. And Finish in the dialog:
