Required definitions for administration

Ensure that you have satisfied the following requirements before trying to use the WebSphere MQ Explorer. Check that:

  1. A command server is running on every remotely administered queue manager.
  2. A suitable TCP/IP listener object must be running on every remote queue manager. This can be the WebSphere MQ listener or, on UNIX systems, the inetd daemon.
  3. A server-connection channel, by default named SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN, exists on all remote queue managers.

    You can create the channel using the following MQSC command:

    DEFINE CHANNEL(SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN) CHLTYPE(SVRCONN)

    This command creates a basic channel definition. If you want a more sophisticated definition (to set up security, for example), you need additional parameters.

  4. The system queue, SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL, must be exist.
