Rule #1 for setting up the MSMQ-MQSeries Bridge

  • Article

Every few months (or longer) I need to set up a test MSMQ-MQSeries Bridge environment.

And every time I forget the cardinal rule.

"Remember that IBM MQSeries is Case-Sensitive".

Yet again, last night, I had to go through the various management screens to correct all the references to the queue manager and modify the name until finally all the pipes went green.

Gah!

    I cannot see MSMQ-MQBridge related perfmon counters on perfmon windows. Even i could not create new CN, it is giving me erroe as "No applicable CN is defined" could you please elaborate the complete steps to configure Active Directory and MSMS-MQBridge to get the counters on perfmon. Please help me.

    Hi HisInfo, You seem to be discussing two issues - creating a CN and using performance monitor counters. There is some good step-by-step documentation on MSDN for setting up the Bridge. Installing and Configuring MSMQ-MQSeries Bridge http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms965296.aspx Have you worked through this and achieved a working Bridge which you can send messages through (even if the counters don't appear)? If you have a working Bridge then you may have corrupt counters on the system. Have a look in the application event log for any Perflib 1008 errors. This blog post (http://blogs.msdn.com/johnbreakwell/archive/2007/05/24/how-to-repair-the-msmq-performance-counters.aspx) includes some generic troubleshooting which can be applied to the performance counters that come with any product, not just MSMQ. If you don't have a working bridge then please work through the MSDN content. Cheers John Breakwell (MSFT)
