Getting Started

This quick start tutorial sets up a single node IBMMQ and shows how to install and configure the library.

Requirements​

You need Java JRE installed (Java 17 or later).

Start IBMMQ​

Start IBMMQ on your local machine with all the defaults.

Now mq images are available in the IBM Container Registry, you ca check for latest versions with skopeo

skopeo list-tags docker://icr.io/ibm-messaging/mq

or navigating your web in the path:

  • Go to ibm-mq page

  • Choose the desired version

    alt text

  • Select containers from menu

    alt text

  • Select reference from menu

    alt text

  • Select Advanced for Developers container image

    alt text

  • Now you can see available images

    alt text

You can use podman docker

You should create some credential files like in a folder:

mqcreds\
  mqAdminPassword
  mqAppPassword

Then pass the directory

docker run -e LICENSE=accept -e MQ_QMGR_NAME=QM1 -p 1414:1414 -p 9443:9443 -d --name ibmmq -v ./mqcreds:/run/secrets icr.io/ibm-messaging/mq:9.4.5.1-r1

If you prefer to use an older image (last version was 9.2.4) located at docker, it can be done with:

docker run -e LICENSE=accept -e MQ_QMGR_NAME=QM1 -p 1414:1414 -p 9443:9443 -d --name ibmmq -e MQ_APP_PASSWORD=passw0rd ibmcom/mq

Then you can access to web console

User: admin Password: The password set in mqAdminPassword file or passw0rd if you are using the dockerhub image

Spring Boot Application​

You can use our Scaffold Clean Architecture Plugin to acelerate the setup and get a clean architecture structure.

Change 4.5.0 with latest plugin version -> Gradle Plugin Portal Version

mkdir commonsjms-quick-start
cd commonsjms-quick-start
echo "plugins {
    id 'co.com.bancolombia.cleanArchitecture' version '4.5.0'
}" > build.gradle
gradle ca --name=CommonsJMSQuickStart
./gradlew gda --type mq
./gradlew gep --type mq
./gradlew bootRun
