Prerequisite software and definitions
Ensure that you satisfy the following requirements before trying to use the IBM® WebSphere® MQ Explorer.
The IBM WebSphere MQ Explorer can connect to remote queue managers using the TCP/IP communication protocol only.
Check
that:
- A command server is running on every remotely administered queue manager.
- A suitable TCP/IP listener object must be running on every remote queue manager. This object can be the IBM WebSphere MQ listener or, on UNIX and Linux® systems, the inetd daemon.
- A server-connection channel, by default named SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN,
exists on all remote queue managers. You can create the channel using the following MQSC command:
DEFINE CHANNEL(SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN) CHLTYPE(SVRCONN)
This command creates a basic channel definition. If you want a more sophisticated definition (to set up security, for example), you need additional parameters. For more information, see DEFINE CHANNEL .
- The system queue, SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL, must exist.
