MQ Visual Edit

For the Stress Testing Servers (Get, Put & SIM Servers), you can have unlimited number of them running (up to what your box can support). Also, while any of the Servers are running, the user can still use MQ Visual Edit.

From the main panel of MQ Visual Edit, select Tools, then Put Server.

This is the main panel of the Put Server. The user will need to select the queue and queue manager before starting the Put Server. Click the Select button to choose the queue and queue manager.

This is the standard 'Open Queue' dialog. Select the queue and queue manager then click the Open button.

Once the queue and queue manager have been selected, the user can provide more information:

• The user can select a delay between MQPUTs.
• The user can select the number of messages to be written. Note: A blank in this field means an UNLIMITED number of MQPUTs will be done (it will run forever).
• The user is required to select a Data Source. The message text can come from 1 of 3 sources:
  • The user can input simple text in the text box on the Put Server panel. The MQMD header will default to whatever the queue defaults attributes are.
  • The user can select a text file to be used as the message text. The MQMD header will default to whatever the queue defaults attributes are.
  • The user can select a VEQ Backup file. A VEQ Backup file can have multiple messages (including MQMD header) in it. Therefore, each message (with the associated MQMD header) in the VEQ Backup file will be written as separate messages to the queue. Note: If max messages is set to 100 and there are 8 messages in the VEQ Backup file then a total of 800 messages will be written to the output queue.

After filling in the required information, the user can start the Put Server by clicking the Start button.

While the Put Server is running, the current statistics are displayed and updated. To stop the execution of the Put Server click the Stop button.
