See Creating JMS and MQ Connectors, a document available on the Integration area of the PDN, for a step-by-step instructions on developing and testing Connect MQ rules.
To debug your application, you can simulate an MQ connector when the external system is unavailable or lacks a test environment. See Creating Connector Simulations.
