Command Failure

The dspmqver command can fail if you try to view version or build information for the WebSphere MQ classes for Java, and you have not correctly configured your environment. For example, you might see the following message:

[root@blade883 ~]# dspmqver -p2
AMQ8351: WebSphere MQ Java environment has not been configured correctly.

To resolve this problem, ensure that the path is configured to include the JRE, and that the correct environment variables are set; for example, by using setjmsenv or setjmsenv64. For example:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mqm/java/jre/bin
cd /opt/mqm/java/bin/
. ./setjmsenv64

[root@blade883 bin]# dspmqver -p2
Name:       WebSphere MQ classes for Java
Version:    7.1.0.0
