The Prepare WebSphere® MQ wizard
helps you to configure WebSphere MQ files
and a user account for your network, migrate any queue managers and data from
a previous installation, and migrate WebSphere MQ clients
and queue managers that have been set up to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
The
Prepare WebSphere MQ wizard window will be
displayed when WebSphere MQ installation
completes. Follow the instructions given by the wizard to configure WebSphere MQ.
At any time while the wizard is running you can click the More
Information button in the wizard to view online help about the
task you are doing.
- When WebSphere MQ installation completes, the Prepare
WebSphere MQ Wizard window is displayed with a welcome message.
To continue, click Next.
- If you have run the Prepare WebSphere MQ wizard
before, this step is skipped. If you have not run the Prepare WebSphere MQ wizard
before, the Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard window
displays a progress bar with the following message: Status:

Wait until
the progress bar completes.
- The Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard

- WebSphere MQ will attempt to detect
whether you need to configure WebSphere MQ for
use with Windows® 2000 or later domain
users. Depending on the results of the detection, WebSphere MQ will
do one of the following:
- If WebSphere MQ detects that you need
to configure WebSphere MQ for Windows 2000
or later domain users, the Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard
window displays a message that starts:
WebSphere MQ does not have the authority to query information about
your user account
Optionally, to see online help about configuring
the domain account, select More Information. When you are finished, close
the WebSphere MQ Help Center window to return
to the current window.
Click Next, and go to
step 5.
- If you are not installing on a Windows 2000
or later domain controller and WebSphere MQ cannot
detect whether you need to configure WebSphere MQ for Windows 2000 or later domain users, the
Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard window displays
the following message:
Are any of the domain controllers in your network running
Windows 2000 or later domain server?
If
you select Yes, click Next, then go to step 5.
If you select No, click Next,
then go to step 8.
If you
select Don't know, you cannot continue. Either select
one of the other options, or click Cancel and contact
your domain administrator.
- If WebSphere MQ detects that you do not
need to configure WebSphere MQ for Windows 2000
or later domain users, go to step 7.
Note: At any time, you can click
More Information to
view online help about configuring the domain account, or see
Configuring WebSphere MQ accounts. When you are finished, close the
WebSphere MQ Help
Center window to return to the current window.
- The Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard
window displays the following message:
Do you need to configure WebSphere MQ for users defined on Windows 2000
or later domain controllers?
If you select Yes, click Next,
then go to step 6.
If
you select No, click Next, then go to step 8.
If you select Don't know, you cannot continue.
Either select one of the other options, or click Cancel and
contact your domain administrator.
Note: At any time, you can click

window to return to the current window.
- In the next window, enter the Domain and User name
of the domain user account that you obtained from your domain administrator.
Either enter the Password for this account, or select the option This
account does not have a password. Click Next.
- The Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard
window displays a progress bar with the following message:
Status: Configuring WebSphere MQ with the special domain user account
Wait until the progress bar completes. If there are any problems with
the domain user account, a further window is displayed. Follow the advice
on this window before you continue with this procedure.
- If you
do not have any queue managers or WebSphere MQ clients
on this computer that have been set up to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections,
this step is missed, go to step 15.
If you have queue managers or WebSphere MQ clients
on this computer that have been set up to use SSL connections, the Migration
of SSL connections window is displayed. The queue managers and
clients with SSL connections were identified when you used the Check
WebSphere MQ Certificate Stores wizard in the installation launchpad.
Read the information then click Next.
Note: At any
time, you can click More Information to view online
help about identifying if migration is required. When you are finished, close
the WebSphere MQ Help Center window to return
to the current window.
- A list of the certificate store files, which were validated
earlier in the install process, is displayed. Select the certificate
stores you want to schedule for migration and click Next.
If you did not validate any certificate stores, or if you have not selected
any, click Next then go to step 13.
- The next panel asks you about passwords and password
expiry intervals.
- If want to use a single password and expiry interval for all key databases
files, select Use a single password and expiry interval for all
key database files, enter a password and expiry interval, then
click Next.
- If you want to use different passwords and expiry intervals for each
database file, select Prompt for individual passwords and expiry
intervals, then click Next.
- A progress dialog is displayed while the certificate store files
chosen in step 9 are scheduled
for migration. If you selected "Prompt for individual passwords
and expiry intervals" in step 10,
a panel requesting this information will be displayed for each certificate
store file you selected. Complete the information in each of the panels displayed,
then click Next.
- A panel is displayed showing a summary of the store
files that have been scheduled for migration. Click Next to
continue.
- Now the wizard asks you to confirm that your Certificate
Revocation Lists (CRLs) and Authority Revocation Lists (ARLs) are in a format
supported by WebSphere MQ for Windows, Version 6.0.
- If CRLs and ARLs are not used, select Not Used and
click Next.
- If CRLs and ARLs are used, when you have them in a format supported
by WebSphere MQ for Windows, Version 6.0 select Yes and
click Next.
Note: At any time, you can click More Information to
view online help about converting the CRLs and ARLs into a supported format.
When you are finished, close the WebSphere MQ Help Center window to return
to the current window.
- Next you must ensure that SSL connections that use
the SSLPEER channel parameter have any multiple Organizational Unit entries
ordered correctly.
- If the SSLPEER value is not used, or if the SSLPEER value is used
but multiple Organizational Unit entries are not used, select Not
Used and click Next.
- If the SSLPEER value is used with multiple Organizational Unit entries
, check the ordering of the SSLPEER fields and select Yes when
they are correctly ordered. Click Next.
Note: At any time, you can click More Information to
view online help about how to check SSLPEER fields. When you are finished,
close the WebSphere MQ Help Center window to return to the current window.
- The Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard
window displays a progress bar with the following message:
Status: Starting WebSphere MQ services
Wait
until the progress bar completes.
- If there are further tasks to complete, the Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard
window displays the following message:
It is recommended that the following tasks are completed now
It
displays one or more of the following options, which depend on whether a default
configuration or queue managers already exist from a previous installation.
If the previous installation is such that none of these tasks apply, this
window is not displayed. Go to step
17.
- Setup the Default Configuration. This option is displayed only
if there are no queue managers and there is no Default Configuration already
on the system. This action launches the Default Configuration wizard (see Using the Default Configuration wizard).
In this situation, to
verify the installation by using the Postcard application (described in Using the Postcard applications), select this option and
use the Default Configuration wizard to create the default queue manager for
the Postcard application to use.
- Migrate the existing Default Configuration. This option is displayed
if a Default Configuration already exists from MQSeries® V5.1.
This action launches the Default Configuration wizard (see Using the Default Configuration wizard).
Note: If a Default Configuration already exists from
a version of WebSphere MQ later than V5.1
you can use this without any migration.
To launch a wizard to complete a task, select the required option.
When all required tasks are complete and you return to this window, click Next.
To
continue without completing any of these tasks, click
