Before you start InterChange Server, verify that:
On a UNIX system, the databases that InterChange Server uses are managed by either the DB2 or Oracle server. To determine if the server is running, verify that:
After the InterChange Server software is installed, you must configure the WebSphere MQ messaging system to work with InterChange Server by:
Do the following to configure the WebSphere MQ scripts:
Installer assigns the value from the Queue Manager Name field in the WebSphere MQ tab in the InterChange Server Configuration GUI as the name of the queue manager in the crossworlds_mq.tst, clear_mq, configure_mq, start_mq, and end_mq scripts.
If the value entered in this field does not match the name in the /etc/inetd.conf entry for your queue manager, WebSphere MQ does not operate correctly. Change the clear_mq, configure_mq, start_mq, and end_mq scripts to match the name defined in the /etc/inetd.conf system file. If you need help determining the queue name from this system file, consult your UNIX system administrator.
Be sure that:
DEFINE QLOCAL(IC/ICSName/ConnectorName) DEFINE QLOCAL(AP/ConnectorName/ICSName)
where ICSName is the name of InterChange Server and ConnectorName is the name of the connector.
If you need to customize the WebSphere MQ scripts, you can customize the executable scripts in the ProductDir/mqseries directory. Changes you make directly in these versions of the WebSphere MQ scripts are overwritten if you reconfigure InterChange Server from the Apply button of the WebSphere MQ tab in the InterChange Server Configuration GUI.
To set up the WebSphere MQ messaging system for InterChange Server:
Start up WebSphere MQ and run scripts in the mqseries directory as the WebSphere business integration administrator (admin) or another user who is a member of the WebSphere MQ group, mqm. If you are not already one of these users, use the su command or log in again as the appropriate user. You can use the groups command to obtain a list of the groups to which you belong.
./configure_mq
This script creates a WebSphere MQ queue manager and assigns it the name that was defined in the installation program. Create a queue manager only the first time you configure an InterChange Server system. The output of a successfully run command contains the line:
No commands have a syntax error.
./start_mq
./testMQ.sh
Check the /var/mqm/errors directory to ensure that there were no errors logged to AMQERR01. To stop the WebSphere MQ queue manager, use the end_mq script.
