Backward compatibility

Hi. Sorry for the delay in responding. I missed the notification and didn't realise I had an outstanding question. I cannot think of any reason why MQ 7.1.0.7 would not work with the connector. The instructions I've written are specifically for v8 and later, but if you know MQ well, you'll easily be able to work out the equivalent commands. Thanks.

First I would like to thank for sharing this mq connector repo in github.

We are using MQ version 7.5.0.8 and facing below errors while running it can you please share/ suggest the changes required in the code base to make it work. Thank you
