Simulate MQSeries server

We have a legacy app using MQSeries C routine calls to send messages to an MQ Server. We don't have an MQ server in-house anymore, and we need to test a change that has been made to this legacy app before we release it to our client, who has their own (production) MQSeries server.

Is there a way we can simulate an MQSeries server which will emulate an MQSeries Queue Manager with channels and queues, and can receive messages sent to a particular queue. We don't need it to actually do anything with the messages, we just want it to 'look' like a standard MQSeries server, and communicate appropriately with the client.

If there is a way to do this in Java, that would be preferable, as that is the main source of knowledge in-house.

I do not know of anyway to simulate or emulate a IBM MQ queue manager, but you can do better and just download and install IBM MQ Advanced for Developers which is a full MQ queue manager installed that is licensed for no cost for development work.

The Tag Wiki for the tag has a link to this download page along with many other useful links.

You can just click the tag and then click on "Learn More..." or click this link to go directory to the Tag Wiki.

Just install this and configure the needed channels and queues that you require.
