Service Virtualization

I have developed virtual service using request and response pairs and two Proxy Queues.

I am using Devtest 10.1 and IBM MQ Manager running on 8.X version.

I have placed below jar files in my local while developing the service to connect the MQ Manager and able to connect successfully.

• com.ibm.mq.allclient.jar -
• com.ibm.mq.commonservices.jar
• com.ibm.mq.headers.jar
• com.ibm.mq.jar
• com.ibm.mq.jmqi.jar
• com.ibm.mq.pcf.jar
• com.ibm.mqjms.jar

But when I placed these jar files into devtest server side and tried to deploy the virtual service.

Once I deploy the service, I logged into the portal and find the errors against the deployed service and it was going offline once errors reached to more than 200.

Error:

Question: is there any additional jar files are required?

According to the IBM support website IBM Java MQException Class moved to the com.ibm.mq.jmqi.jar file in MQ V7 - United States  that class is in com.ibm.mq.jmqi.jar

The error you pasted claims that it can't find that class, I presume it means that it hasn't been loaded. The MQ JARs all need to be in DEVTEST_HOME/lib/shared, and DevTest loads JARs from there at start-up, so have you restarted your VSE server process since copying the MQ files to the correct place, and did you copy the correct (MQ v7+) versions of those files?

If you've done all the above, look in the vse.log file on the server to see why the class hasn't loaded.

Sorry I forgot to mention this.

I have placed the jar files into DEVTEST_HOME/lib/shared and DEVTEST_HOME/lib/core and bounce back the server.

https://docops.ca.com/devtest-solutions/10-1/en/administering/general-administration/third-party-file-requirements#Third-PartyFileRequirements-WebSphereMQFileRequirements

I have gone through the above document and I have placed the jar files which was listed under "WebSphere MQ 8".

Thanks,

Try to just put the MQ jars in DEVTEST_HOME/lib folder. And make sure you place these jars on all servers that requires it. For example, if you are executing an MQ test case with a Simulator then you need to place the jar files on the Simulator server installation. Or if you have a virtual service that uses the MQ jars then you need to place the jar files on the VSE server installation.

thanks for your reply...

I have placed below jar files(MQ 8.x) in VSE server4 and restated the VSE server.

• com.ibm.mq.allclient.jar -
• com.ibm.mq.commonservices.jar
• com.ibm.mq.headers.jar
• com.ibm.mq.jar
• com.ibm.mq.jmqi.jar
• com.ibm.mq.pcf.jar
• com.ibm.mqjms.jar

I am using Devtest 10.1.0..

after restarting the server, I am seeing below error in portal.

An error occurred while retrieving the list of VSE servers.

log details are as below.

Registry:

we got a solution from CA support team.

The following JAR files are required for WebSphere MQ 8:

com.ibm.mq.allclient.jar

com.ibm.mq.commonservices.jar

After removing the additional jars we were able start the portal fine.

Thank,
