  • 1.  New to MQ Rest API

    Posted 10/13/22 11:39 AM
    We have a new project where we have been asked to create a URL in MQ, postman application has to send some  API calls to MQ
    I have already pasted the basic registry xml file from /usr/mqm/web/mq/samp/configuration  to /var/mqm/web/installtions/Installtion1/server/mqweb
    and i have the changed the name to webuser.xml, but postman application is not able to put messages.
    output of dspmqweb:
    https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/console/" title="https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/console/" href="https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/console/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" tabindex="-1">https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/console/
      https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/rest/" title="https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/rest/" href="https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/rest/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" tabindex="-1">https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/rest/

    I want to create a new url with port 1414 can someone tell me how create that.

    I would advise against running your MQ web server listening to port 1414. That is a port usually used for MQ channels to connect to, not web connections. If you have an MQ listener already using port 1414 it would not be able to accept web requests on that port as well. The default port number that you are using for your https connection, port 9443 should work fine.

    What kind of error is your application getting when it tries to put messages via the REST API? What URL are you using to do the put of messages from your application.

    Cheers,

    Please show the full error that is seen.

    To change the port, please follow the instructions here. Remember though you CANNOT make the port the same number that is used by the queue manager's TCP/IP listener. Port 1416 sounds very much like a queue manager listener port and not an HTTP port.

    Cheers,
    Morag

    Stop mqweb and follow below steps to change the port:

    Step1:

    Navigate to

    /var/mqm/web/installations/Installation1/servers/mqweb

    Step2:

    Edit mqwebuser.xml file

    Step3:

    Add below xml tag to change the port in <server> </server> tags:

    Example:
    <variable name="httpPort" value="9444"/>
    <variable name="ltpaExpiration" value="15"/>
    </server>

    Step4:

    start MQWEB

    As @Morag Hughson mentioned, using 1414 port for REST API is not a good option.

    If u want to change the port; try using 443 ; this way the URL will not require a port entry on the address bar.

    You will have to use setmqweb properties
    endmqweb
setmqweb properties -k httpHost -v hostname
strmqweb
dspmqweb
​

    I noted that your entry said localhost:9443/ibmmq/rest
    If your Postman instance is not running on the MQ server you're out of luck as it only accepts calls from the local host
    Try setting the hostname value to either the hostname or an ip (comes back with the hostname value)
    experiment with the hostname value and verify what happens at os level using netstat:

    endmqweb
setmqweb properties -k httpHost -v 0.0.0.0
strmqweb
dspmqweb
netstat -an | find "9443" (windows)
netstat -an | grep 9443 (Unix/Linux)



    Hope this helps
