    Hi

    I'm one of the IBM MQ development team, working specifically on the Java interfaces to MQ.

    I can see from the documentation for SoapUI that they've discontinued support for Hermes JMS at 5.7.0 - but I have no particular knowledge of either offering, so it's hard to know how best to advise you.

    Perhaps you could explain in more detail what you use SoapUI 5.2.1 with Hermes JMS to actually do. If I have more understanding of that, I should be better placed to help.

    Hi Surbhi,

    I think that you may find it fairly easy to interface SoapUI with the MQ REST APIs -
    • https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.2?topic=api-using-administrative-rest allows applications to create, alter and query MQ objects such as queues
    • https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.2?topic=api-using-messaging-rest allows applications to put messages to queues or topics, and retrieve messages from queues
    From my brief reading of some web pages SoapUI seems to be geared to interfacing with REST APIs and should be well-suited to exercising ours.

    I hope this is helpful - feel free to ask follow-up questions.

    Regards
    Mark
