MSMQ management tool

I have developed a MSMQ management tool called IMQT together with a colleauge Tomas Wallin. It all started when I developed another software and I needed some kind of test tool to send, read and manipulate messages in MSMQ. I thought that if I wanted this tool other developers/testers also wanted one. So I involved Tomas and we used our nights and weekends to write this software. The tool started to grow and then we wanted to try to make a more complete MSQM management product. All most needed functionality for MSMQ management is implemented. You can manage queues and messages. Search for text in messages and compare XML. Try it for yourself. Download the software here.

The tool is free to use. The only constraint we have is that you give us feedback if there are any functionality you need/want, if there are any changes you need/want and if there are any bugs.

So try it out. We hope you enjoy it. Please contact me if there is anyting...

The tool only works on Windows XP and above and we use .NET 2.0. You got a help-file included in the tool but it need some updates.

What is MSMQT?

In one of my project we should send messages to a Biztalk queue. I thought Biztalk used the regular MSMQ with it's own interface but.... First of all it's called MSMQT and the T is for transport. The Biztalk solution was created to get around the 4 mb limit in the usual MSMQ. You can send the messages to MSMQT in the same way as via MSMQ the difference is in how the messages is stored. For MSMQT the messages are stored in the Biztalk message storage. This means that you cant see the queues and the messages in the MMC.

Here is a short description about what MSMQT is .
