Hi.
Configuration: MQ 6.0 Server on Win Server 2003.
Goal: to control the MQ Server from another PC, running Windows XP
(if possible, use MQ Explorer).
How can I achieve this?
What exactly should I install on the XP box?
I don't need a step-by-step explanation, just pointers to the relevant docs.
TIA |

Using the menu system at the top of this web page, click "documentation" > "Library Home Page". Choose the link for the "Library" for WMQ version 6.0. (You can from this point choose to use the Information Center approach, or the PDF approach to viewing the manuals). Review the range of documentation available, and in particular the System Administration Guide. The information is well laid out in there, and hopefully you will soon find everything you need.
For your specific subject I suggest starting at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv6/v6r0/topic/com.ibm.mq.amqzag.doc/amqzag0667.htm |

Great pointer, thanks.
A. quote about the Pre-req:
"...The WebSphere MQ Eclipse platform (installed as part of WebSphere MQ for Windows..."
Q1: Is it part of the MQ CLIENT?
Q2: Can I do a custom install and select this component only?
B. Partial quote from "Required definitions":
"... Check that:
1. A command server is running...
2. A suitable TCP/IP listener object must be running ...
3. A server-connection channel, by default named SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN, exists on all remote queue managers....
4. The system queue, SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL, must be exist.
Q3: I understand (3) and (4) are created by default. True?
Q4: Is this true for (1) and (2) as well?

2,3 are not created by default.
I don't think 4 is either. |

NO
Now I'm confused.
I'm not sure if the "NO" was for both questions.
Here's the whole section about this from the System Admin Guide:
-- Start section --
Prerequisite software
Before you can use the WebSphere MQ Explorer, you must have the following installed on your computer:
The WebSphere MQ Eclipse platform (installed as part of WebSphere MQ for Windows or WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86 platform))
The WebSphere MQ Explorer can connect to remote queue managers using the TCP/IP communication protocol only.
-- End section --
So, Is it part of the MQ Server?
How can I install it on the client?
TIA |

Hi,
I dont know much about WMQ v6. I am using v5.3 CSD11. Let me try to tell you how it works. Gurus please correct me if I go wrong.

If you are using Windows and if u r using the explorer to create a QM then the wizard asks you if you want a server connection channel to be created. If you check it then that is done(SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN).
**If you are crtmqm <QM Name> from command promt the QM is created. Then you have to start(strmqm <QM Name>), start command server (strmqcsv <QM Name>) and then run the listener(runmqlsr -m <QM Name> -t tcp -p <port>). Please keep in mind that you have to DEFINE the channel SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN explicitly.
The next step you are asked if you want to create a listener configured for TCp/IP...you check that and specify the port your listener will be created.
The command server runs by default(In solaris give strmqcsv <QMName>)
And lastly SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL is created by default.

and the SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN should be defined.

It should be possible to install the MQ Explorer on a windows machine by using the server CD.
The eclipse pre-req can be found from the launchpad on windows
The MQ Explorer can be selected from a custom install as the only thing to install on the machine and should then be capable of remote admin.
When you create your new V6 queue manager, the reply queue will exist by default, however you will need to create a running listener on an appropriate port, and you will need to have a suitable svrconn defined.
edit:
From Biju's points...
In V6 the command server is started automatically
In V6 its probably better to create a new listener object using runmqsc rather than using the runmqlsr command:
define listener(listener) trptype(tcp) port(1414)
and then start it using:
start listener(listener)
The svrconn could be defined using the following:
define channel(system.admin.svrconn) chltype(svrconn)

In MQV5.3, we had the constraint of having svrconn channel as SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN for remote administration. But in MQV6, we can use any serverconn channel(name) |
