amqsput is a sample program, which can be used to put a message on IBM WebSphere MQ Queues.
The sample program (amqsput) gets installed on Windows when you install either Client or Server. However, on Linux – you must install sample RPM. If you haven’t then you will not have amqsput file available under bin folder.
Sample program RPM is included in MQ 8 installer, all you got to do is install this RPM to start using amqsput program.
If you have installed MQ 8 as explained here, you will have MQSeriesSamples-8.0.0-2.x86_64.rpm
under server folder.
Install MQ Sample Program
- Go to the location where you have MQSeriesSamples-8.0.0-2.x86_64.rpm
- Use rpm command to install this package
rpm –ivh MQSeriesSamples-8.0.0-2.x86_64.rpm
[root@localhost server]# rpm -ivh MQSeriesSamples-8.0.0-2.x86_64.rpm
