Configuring ITCAM configuration agent for WebSphere MQ

This section contains instructions for setting up ITCAM configuration agent for WebSphere® MQ before you start the agent.

• If you choose not the use the default account (Localsystem) to run the agent, add the user ID to the mqm group. See Authorizing user IDs for instructions.
• If the user ID that you use to start, run, and stop the agent (the default is Localsystem) is not a member of the Administrators group, set permissions for the user ID to ensure that the agent can be started and stopped successfully. See Setting permissions for non-administrator user IDs.
• Set up the configuration database, which is stored at the hub monitoring server. See Setting up the configuration database on Windows systems.
• (WebSphere MQ 7.1 or later) Specify the installation path and library path of WebSphere MQ. See Specifying WebSphere MQ installation path (WebSphere MQ 7.1 or later).
• Optional: If you have not configured the agent during installation, configure it now. See Configuring ITCAM configuration agent for WebSphere MQ.
