Troubleshooting
Problem
This document provides details of the line commands for WebSphere MQ to create a queue manager and to configure it for remote administration using MQ Explorer

Resolving The Problem
Issue these three steps to create a WebSphere MQ queue manager using line commands:
1. It is good practice to define a Dead Letter Queue when creating a queue manager
crtmqm -u SYSTEM.DEAD.LETTER.QUEUE QM_TEST
2. Start the queue manager
strmqm QM_TEST
3. Run the MQ administration tool
runmqsc QM_TEST
a. Define and start a listener. The default is port 1414.
define listener(TCP.LISTENER) trptype(tcp) control(qmgr) port(1414)
start listener(TCP.LISTENER)
b. Define a channel to be used by a remote MQ Explorer
define channel(SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN) chltype(SVRCONN) REPLACE
c. For MQ 7.1 and later, and if you need to allow remote connections by an MQ Administrator.
Note: This is too broad and it is useful for test queue managers. For production queue managers you may need to customize the remote access to MQ Administrators.
set CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(BLOCKUSER) USERLIST('nobody','*MQADMIN')
set CHLAUTH(SYSTEM.ADMIN.*) TYPE(BLOCKUSER) USERLIST('nobody')
d. For MQ 8.0 and later, and if you want the password to be optional for an MQ Administrator.
Note: This is NOT recommended for production queue managers. It might be fine for your test queue managers.
ALTER AUTHINFO(SYSTEM.DEFAULT.AUTHINFO.IDPWOS) AUTHTYPE(IDPWOS) +
CHCKCLNT(OPTIONAL)
REFRESH SECURITY TYPE(CONNAUTH)
end
+++ Additional commands are needed for non-MQ administrators to connect to the queue manager and to access queues using MQ Explorer
