Requirements for Remote Administration using the WebSphere MQ Explorer - Middleware News

Ensure that you have satisfied the following requirements before trying to use the WebSphere MQ Explorer to do remote administration. Verify that:
  1. The WebSphere MQ server and client is installed on the local and the remote machine.
  2. A command server is running for every queue manager.
  3. A TCP/IP listener exists for every queue manager. This can be the WebSphere MQ listener or the inetd daemon as appropriate for your operating system environment.
  4. The server-connection channel, called SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN, exists on every remote queue manager. This channel is mandatory for every remote queue manager being administered.

Using the WebSphere MQ Explorer for Remote Administration

Satisfy all of the requirements for Remote Administration and then you can use the WebSphere MQ to do administration tasks on your local and remote queue managers.

To show a remote queue manager, right click the WebSphere MQ Explorer Queue Manager folder, select Show/Hide, then select the Add button on the Add Queue Manager screen(see Figure 1 then type:

Reasons for Remote Administration failures:

  1. The Command server is not running on remote queue manager. Message AMQ4042 will be issued.
  2. The Listener is not running on remote queue manager. Message AMQ4043 will be issued.
  3. The SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN is not defined on remote queue manager. Message AMQ4043 will be issued.
  4. The security check failed on remote queue manager. Message AMQ4043 will be issued.
  5. Prior releases of WebSphere MQ for z/OS (v5.3 and v5.3.1) do not provide this function and any attempt to remotely administer a queue manager will fail. The WebSphere MQ V6.0 product has been enhanced to support the remote administration of a z/OS queue manager using the WebSphere MQ Explorer on Windows and Linux Intel.
  6. Code page conversion failures can cause problems. Message AMQ4043 will be issued. For more information, see technote: Remote Administration through WebSphere MQ Explorer "Show Queue Manager" Fails AMQ4043
  7. The SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL is not defined on remote queue manager and you are using the V6.0 WebSphere MQ Explorer. Message AMQ4400 will be issued.
  8. The Client attachment feature is not installed on WebSphere MQ for z/OS. The CHIN joblog will contain message CSQX260E. To connect to the z/OS queue manager using the SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN channel, you need to have the Client Attachment feature installed, which is FMID JMS6007 for WebSphere MQ for z/OS 6.0.0.

    Note:
    In WebSphere MQ V7 for z/OS you can create five “free” client attachments for use with MQ Explorer. These attachments must use the channel name SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN, which is the default channel name used by the MQ Explorer.

    To use the free client attachments, you must first alter the SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN channel definition and set the maximum instances (MAXINST) attribute to 5 or less. You should also ensure that your server-connection channel is secured by the usual means.

IBM Websphere MQ interview Questions Part 5

MQ Series: - It is an IBM web sphere product which is evolved in 1990’s. MQ series does transportation from one point to other.

It is platform Independent. For every OS we have different MQ series software’s. But the functionality of MQ series Default path for installing MQ series is:- C: programfiles\BM\clipse\SDK30 C: programfiles\IBM\WebsphereMQ After installation it will create a group and user. Some middleware technologies are Tibco, SAP XI. MQ series deals with two things, they are OBJECTS, SERVICES. In OBJECTS we have • QUEUES • CHANNELS • PROCESS • AUTHENTICATION • QUERY MANAGER. In SERVICES we have LISTENERS. Objects: – objects are used to handle the transactions with the help of services. QUEUE MANAGER maintains all the objects and services. QUEUE: – it is a database structure ...

Message Broker (WMB) installation and setup on Linux

Message Broker (WMB) installation and setup on Linux Installing the Binaries As a first step download the trail version of the message broker binaries from IBM site and install them. this part is very simple and process is depends on your operating system. Like for windows, you have .exe file and Linux has rpm and unix you get pkg or other. After installation Set up a broker database [Windows] __ 1. Create the broker database, BRKDB. Open a WebSphere Message Broker Command Console: mqsicreatedb BRKDB This command also establishes the required ODBC connection. _ 2. Verify your user account for the broker database. [Linux] If you are creating Oracle databases for 32-bit brokers on Linux® and UNIX® systems, run the mqsi_setupdatabase command before you create a database. mqsi_setupdatabase– Database–Database_Home_Directory Eg:mqsi_setupdatabase oracle /oracle/product/9i/Db_1 Add $ORACLE_HOME/lib to the end of the MQSI_LIBPATH library search path environment variabl...
