Required definitions for administration

Ensure that you have satisfied the following requirements before attempting to use the WebSphere MQ Explorer to manage WebSphere MQ on a server machine. Check that:

  1. A command server is running for any queue manager being administered, started on the server by the STRMQMCSVR CL command.
  2. A suitable TCP/IP listener exists for every remote queue manager. This is the WebSphere MQ listener started by the STRMQMLSR command.
  3. The server connection channel, called SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN, exists on every remote queue manager. You must create this channel yourself. It is mandatory for every remote queue manager being administered. Without it, remote administration is not possible.

For further information on the WebSphere MQ Explorer, see the WebSphere MQ System Administration Guide supplied with your WebSphere MQ for Windows(R) product.
