Mock IBM MQ manager


I need to mock IBM MQ manager for load testing with auto-replay for some MQ applications.

Are there instruments to do it? Maybe, several instruments for each operation - mock and auto-replay.

Thank you.


Solution

  • What exactly do you mean by mock IBM MQ manager?

    You cannot a fake queue manager. The best thing to do is to download IBM MQ for Developers (Linux or Windows) and set it up with what queues, channels, etc. you need. You can also download IBM MQ Advanced for Developers for Raspberry Pi.

    Now if you only meant that you want to simulate either server-side or client-side component getting or putting of messages via replaying of messages then have a look at MQ Visual Edit. MQ Visual Edit can off messages in a queue to an SQLite database file which includes both the MQMD and message data. Hence, later you can replay those same messages over and over again. Also, it has 4 different test servers built into it to simulate server-side or client-side components.
