Add pymqi support #16

Open JamRamPage opened 1 year ago

JMS scripts have been verified to work here after MQ installation is complete. However this is not the only language used in MQ APIs.

It would be useful to provide an Ansible role to install the relevant assets for pymqi on a VM, so that on setup, users can immediately start connecting to their QMGR with python.

Server or client install could be a choice but they will be quite different, currently we are doing a server install, should we have a new module for client? do we need one, client installs are typically performed with OS installers or file copies, there is little or no MQ configuration thereafter that would require anything above what Ansible offers.

Hello Martin, I would think that a server install would be best for now. This issue was raised on the internal repo when pymqi was found to not work successfully with the provisioned QMGR.

There may have been a simple mistake made preventing this (I can't quite remember what went wrong), so it might actually work; this issue may be as simple as running it again, possibly adding a test of some kind to show pymqi connecting successfully.
