I had something interesting happen today.
Behind my back, my local user got taken out of some groups on my workstation. So I lost some authorities to my beta v6 install.
I found this out because MQExplorer's Content View was spinning trying to list queues. I did a little more digging, and found that runmqsc worked fine. I stopped and started various things, and it still didn't list queues in eclipse.
On a whim, I did 'dis ql(*) curdepth'. It gave me a bunch of depths for queues, but for some it said that I was not authorized. Since I thought I was both a local admin and in the mqm group, I was a little surprised...
Neither were true. I fixed that, and now eclipse will list queues.
But this is exactly the kind of non-response that drives people buggy and makes them hate a tool.
I don't know for sure which queues I didn't have authority on - since I didn't write them down. But if one was SYSTEM.ADMIN.COMMAND.QUEUE, I would have expected Explorer to throw an error.

Hi,
I recognize this type of error. The PCF command for getting a list of queues will return a structure for each queue. Each structure contains the queue name, attributes, return and reason code.
My guess is that half way through iterating over the list of queues it hits a 2035 and throws an exception. The exception should be handled locally but it gets percolated much higher and hence, hangs the MQ Explorer.
I had this problem in MQ Visual Edit. Somebody at IBM needs to review their code. 
I'll even help IBM out, the queue that they are getting burnt on is 'SYSTEM.AUTH.DATA.QUEUE'. Only mqm is allowed to access this queue. Even if you try to use setmqaut to add your own UserID, you will not be allowed access to it.
Regards,
Roger Lacroix

Wait for GA, then raise it as a pmr, as it does sound incorrect that the GUI hangs  |

It doesn't "hang".
It just spins. I can go off and do other things. I just never get a list of queues.

To find out if there are any show stopper bugs.
I thought IBM created a newsgroup for this beta. If so, someone should post this in it.

Just had an interesting encounter on:
Windows XP Pro SP2
WebSphere MQ V6.0 GA
Installed Eclipse and WebSphere MQ V6 GA, fired up the "WebSphere Explorer"
nothing happened... 
looked underneath what command is executed and it executes: strmqcfg -d
opened a command prompt and ran: strmqcfg -d
result: AMQ7798: Unable to locate 'APPDATA'
turns out my Windows XP Pro SP2 had no APPDATA Environment setting...
I added it in a command prompt using: SET APPDATA= ....
and then fired up "WebSphere MQ Explorer" voila!!! 
Next my migrated 5.3 Queuemangers were visible, but connecting to them did not work...
| Quote: |
Explorer cannot administer the queuemanager because the queue
'SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL' is not defined. (AMQ4400) |
went into runmqsc and:
def qmodel('SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL')
presto!!! Explorer works...

Is this one of those distinctions without a difference?
