Here's something from an old posting: The listener, when running, will be amqcrsta. But won't be running all the time, because it's started by inetd.
Assuming your listener is running on port 1414, try: telnet localhost 1414 If you don't get the prompt back, it's running: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]' If you get an error message: Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused It's not. Your inetd configuration is probably not correct. If your listener is running, then it could be problem caused by the network, e.g. router, firewall, etc. Prithwiraj Basu <Prithwiraj.Basu To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] @CGI.COM> cc: Sent by: Subject: Re: Connection or remote listener unavailable error MQSeries List <[EMAIL PROTECTED] en.AC.AT> 10/21/2003 11:34 AM Please respond to MQSeries List Thanks for all the replies. I have the requisite info in the /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf files. In /etc/services I have: MQSeries 1414/tcp # MQSeries channel listener In /etc/inted.conf I have: MQSeries stream tcp nowait mqm /opt/mqm/bin/amqcrsta amqcrsta Is there a particular process I can grep for to verify if the listener is running? Thanks.

If you are using the MQ listener, be sure it gets started (runmqlsr) w/ the correct port info. Good Luck! Cheers, Art Arthur C.

We have a Unix platform on our side. The other comany operates via a mainframe. It was recently discovered that when we upgraded our Sun Solaris OS we blew away the MQ objects. I have recreated them and got things to work to the point where we can send messages to the other company. However they are unable to send mesages to us. When they try to start their sender channel they get a 'Connection or remote listener unavailable'. Any ideas how I can troubleshoot this? Thanks.
