Remote queue managers

There are two exceptions to the supported queue managers that you can connect to.

From a Windows or Linux® (x86 and x86-64 platforms) system, the IBM MQ Explorer can connect to all supported queue managers with the following exceptions:

IBM MQ for z/OS® queue managers earlier than Version 6.0.
Currently supported MQSeries® V2 queue managers.

The IBM MQ Explorer handles the differences in the capabilities between the different command levels and platforms. However, if it encounters an attribute that it does not recognize, the attribute will not be visible.

If you intend to remotely administer a V6.0 or later queue manager on Windows using the IBM MQ Explorer on an IBM MQ V5.3 computer, you must install Fix Pack 9 (CSD9) or later on your IBM MQ for Windows V5.3 computer.

If you intend to remotely administer a V5.3 queue manager on iSeries using the IBM MQ Explorer on an IBM MQ V6.0 or later computer, you must install Fix Pack 11 (CSD11) or later on your IBM MQ for iSeries V5.3 computer. This fix pack corrects connection problems between the IBM MQ Explorer and the iSeries queue manager.
