This diagram shows the connection from the IBM MQ
client (called client1.company1.com on port 1415) through two instances of MQIPT, tunnelling the connection over HTTP, and finally to the
IBM MQ server (called server1.company2.com on port
1414).
Procedure
To configure HTTP tunneling between two instances of MQIPT, complete the following steps:
On the MQIPT 1 system:
Edit mqipt.conf and add the following route definition:
where
C:\mqiptHome indicates the location of the MQIPT configuration file, mqipt.conf, and
ipt1 is the name to be given to the instance of MQIPT.
The following messages indicate that MQIPT has
started
successfully:
5724-H72 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 2000, 2024. All Rights Reserved
MQCPI001 IBM MQ Internet Pass-Thru V9.2.0.0 starting
MQCPI004 Reading configuration information from mqipt.conf
MQCPI152 MQIPT name is ipt1
MQCPI021 Password checking has been enabled on the command port
MQCPI011 The path C:\mqiptHome\logs will be used to store the log files
MQCPI006 Route 1415 is starting and will forward messages to :
MQCPI034 ....10.100.6.7(8080)
MQCPI035 ....using HTTP
MQCPI066 ....and HTTP server at 10.100.6.7(8080)
MQCPI078 Route 1415 ready for connection requests
On the MQIPT 2 system:
Edit mqipt.conf and add the following route definition:
where C:\mqiptHome
indicates the location of the MQIPT configuration
file, mqipt.conf, and ipt2 is the name to be given to the
instance of MQIPT.
The following messages indicate that MQIPT has
started
successfully:

MQCPI006 Route 8080 is starting and will forward messages to :
MQCPI034 ....Server1.company2.com(1414)
MQCPI035 ....using MQ protocols
MQCPI078 Route 8080 ready for connection requests
At a command prompt on the IBM MQ client, enter the following
commands:
Set the MQSERVER environment variable:
SET MQSERVER=MQIPT.CONN.CHANNEL/tcp/10.9.1.2(1415)
Put a message:
amqsputc MQIPT.LOCAL.QUEUE MQIPT.QM1
Hello world
Press Enter twice after
typing the message string.
