I wish you’d give your storage details in megabytes (MB) not millibits (mb). The only thing that spoils this excellent page.

Comment on Message Broker v8 with MySQL by Anton Piatek

Federico – It was never designed to work in v7. Even in v8 it is not actually supported yet. If you want to use this, you should make sure your IBM Service representative knows about your requirement as that will help make sure that it gets worked into a supported solution sooner.

Perhaps you could also upgrade to v8, where it does work?

Anton,

Thank you very much for the answer.
So far, we could not make it work with unixODBC Message Broker v7 that comes in IE02.
This limitation really became a problem for us. We are a bit disillusioned with the product.

I’m not sure if it will work. IE02 I think is a different version of the UnixODBC driver to that in v8, but I don’t think that will stop it working.

In v8, UnixODBC I think is the default database driver, whereas in v7 I think UnixODBC was only used for Solid DB databases. You could try it and see if it works.
You should note that it will not be supported by IBM in this configuration, as IE02 was only tested with Solid DB.

Hi, thanks for the information!
Will I be able to use this configuration with version 7, the message broker + suppor IE02 pack?
Thanks.

Thanks for that great post. It was really helpful.

There were two small issues:
mqsicreateconfigurableservice does not support -p option. I needed to create the service first and set the Path via mqsichangeproperties and my windows requires double quotes

Comment on WebSphere Message Broker on Ubuntu by Rob Vanstone

Rob Vanstone — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:46:05 +0000

Excellent post, thanks. I really like Ubuntu, it’s the first nix environment to really start to rival MAC in terms of usability in my view (possibly a bit strong), but in terms of the work I do it’s nice to be able to test out installations across a multitude of platforms. The biggest thing I’ll take from this is the forcing debian to use rpm, will give that a go…Cheers!

Highly recommend anyone using MQ 7.0.1 on Ubuntu to be running the latest fixpack. Some of the older fixpacks have a nasty bug where shutting down the QM breaks it such that it cannot be restarted. An install of the latest fixpack allows you to restart the queue manager

Comment on Kindle-ing a desire to read by theUncommon

theUncommon — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 16:13:20 +0000

I bought a 2nd hand Kindle a month or 2 ago and it still stands as one of the best things I ever bought. I was also worried about the DRM and not actually owning the books I bought, but then I realised how much I used Steam which has exactly the same issues without being bothered.

The best thing I found as well is that you can actually up0load .mobi files to it, and since there are conversion programs like Calibre out there it means I can throw my Cory Doctorow novels on it without much of an issue at all.

Nice idea, I’d be tempted to redirect them to a “friendly off” page instead of / though

Hi Anton.
Great discussion on IBM internal use of Linux/open source stuff in the Ubuntu UK podcast

I loved it – had to go back and listen for a second time. “Brilliant” (as those guys would say).

You described our IBM success story very well (more than 20.000 Linux users at this time – and growing!) while also giving interesting points on some of the difficulties of the grass root like efforts that often drive open source implementation.

I’ll have to admit I felt rather proud to be a very small part of that IBM open source revolution that you spearhead – so I booted my RHEL 6.1 with a smile this morning – thanks to you

Regards,

Thomas Simonsen
