Connecting directly to a Configuration Manager on z/OS

You can create a direct connection to a Configuration Manager in several ways.

You can connect from:

  • The Message Brokers Toolkit.
  • A Configuration Manager Proxy (CMP) application.
  • One of the WebSphere® Message Broker commands used for the Configuration Manager; for example, mqsicreateexecutiongroup.

All of these options connect over a WebSphere MQ server-connection channel. The default name for this is SYSTEM.BKR.CONFIG, but you can use another value. You can connect directly to this channel only if you have the optional WebSphere MQ Client Attach feature installed.

Alternatively, you can connect through an intermediate queue manager; see Connecting to a z/OS Configuration Manager through an intermediate queue manager.

Before you start

Before starting this task, you must have set up your system components, as described in Creating WebSphere Message Broker components on z/OS.

Set up the connections between the Message Brokers Toolkit and the Configuration Manager by carrying out the following tasks:

  1. Verify that your queue manager and channel initiator are running and that the channel initiator is listening on the appropriate port.

    For more information see your WebSphere MQ documentation.

  2. Ensure that your Configuration Manager is running; see Starting and stopping a Configuration Manager on z/OS.
  3. Ensure that your user ID has been given the appropriate authorization on the z/OS Configuration Manager.
    In SDSF, grant FULL domain access to user ID test1. For all machines enter:
    '/F WMQxCFG,CA U=test1,A=YES,P=YES,X=F' 
    To grant access to a specific machine for user test1, enter:
    '/F WMQxCFG,CA U=test1,M=mymachine,P=YES,X=F' 
  4. Create a new domain connection; see Creating a domain connection.
