I understand your hesitance to use MQ client for such an app. But think about what you are really asking. An app on one server with MQM credentials for other servers? An app on one server with access to MQM internals on another server? Hmmm...
I'm sure you know that without MQ-Client, you cannot even connect to a single QMgr across servers, much less multitudes of them. So, if your thinking about monitoring even one qmgr by an app running on a different system, you are talking about some sort of client model, by definition. But it needn't necessarily be the MQ client. You could for example, write a monitoring agent and run it locally on each qmgr. The user interface for your monitoring app is then a client to these agents, requesting services and receiving replies from them. If you are so-inclined, you can even conduct the request/reply exchanges using local connections and MQ messages (although, depending on what you are doing, one might question the wisdom of running a monitoring application in-band like that). It is somewhat analagous to how the command server works, only customized to your specific requirements. -----Original Message----- From: Pavel Tolkachev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 1:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Connecting to more than one queue managers on solaris, linux Thanks Dennis, This is a low-level monitoring application (requiring mqm credentials, by the way). Making it an MQ client makes running listener or configured a pre-requisite to operate the app even if there is no business purpose for them to be there and creates a whole number of security issues with the too-far-going implications of their possible solutions. I will have to either live with these consequences or go for running several instances of the app instead (which is not ideal for my cause, either..).

A server app from the perspective of the application architecture can be a client from the perspective of MQ. -----Original Message----- From: Pavel Tolkachev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 10:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Connecting to more than one queue managers on solaris, linux Thanks David, Is there absolutely no way to do it in the Server app? What is so different between Windows and Unix that you can do it on one but not the other? Thanks, Pavel "David C.
