JMX (Java Management Extensions) interface

This section describes the MQe Java™ Management Extensions interface. The name is shortened in the text to MQe JMX.

The MQe JMX interface provides a JMX instrumentation level for MQe resources (queue managers, queues, and so on). This JMX instrumentation level facilitates the local and remote configuration and administration of MQe queue managers and their associated objects, such as queues, connections, listeners and bridge objects. In order to validate the operation of the network, test messages can be sent to queues within the MQe network.

This feature facilitates the management of MQe resources through JMX from all platforms that are supported for JMX. For further information on platform support for JMX, see the JMX specification V1.2 at
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr003/index3.html
.

(Note that queue managers and their resources on platforms which are not supported by JMX can still be remotely administered via JMX.)

For those who are familiar with either the MQe_Explorer tool (formerly packaged in IBM® SupportPac™ ES02) or the MQe_Script tool (formerly packaged in IBM SupportPac ES04), the MQe JMX interface facilitates the equivalent configurative and administrative functionality. Objects created using MQe_Script, MQe_Explorer (version 2 or later) and the MQe JMX interface can interact together. These SupportPacs are now bundled together as ES06 MQe Server Support SupportPac.

The MQe JMX interface includes full support for the configuration and management of gateway queue managers, that is, those MQe queue managers that can bridge to MQ queue managers and queues. The interface does not support the configuration of the MQ queue managers themselves, as these should be configured using the various MQ management tools and protocols.
