DSXchange

Hi all,
When trying to read a message from mq (read from mq and writes into a flat file)
we get the following error:
"C Stage PlugIn function "Pet" required"

Few questions regarding MQ connection:
What kind of configuration should we do before trying to connect to mq?
We need to configure the websphere as well?
Is there a path that we need to add in the dsenv file?
we use the mq stage that came with the installation of DataStage' is there another stage needs to be installed ?

In 8.x you should see two options for MQ...the MQ Plugin and the MQ Connector..... it sounds like you may be trying the Plugin? Not sure exactly what your issue is, but it will be important to find out what choices were made at install time.

In 8.x there is a dialog during the install that asks if you want the MQ Plugin, and then further asks if you want it for MQ Server or MQ Client.

In the former, MQ Server must be installed co-resident with DataStage. In the latter, the MQ Client software must be installed co-resident with DataStage.

Your error sounds like it isn't even getting past the initial steps of finding and starting the plugin.

You have to do a formal install of the MQPlugin and when you do, select that you want to use the MQ Client method of connectivity. I'll see if I can find a document that describes an after-initial-install of the Plugin....your support provider should know also.

Did it work when you tested the MQSERVER from the command line?
You need to specify the port number of your serverip, e.g serverip(1420).

Ernie - can you find the document that describes an after-initial-install and send it to me ?
