There is a Command Server on all iseries platforms to enable remote MQ admin capabilities. The Command Server must be running to enable the remote functions. On the iseries platforms there are admin panels to display and start the Command Server.
Is there also a Command Server for z/os platforms? Is there some other object/mechanism used to enable/disable remote MQ admin capabilities?
I can't find any references indicating the existence of a Command Server on z/os. I have found the references for Windows platforms.

The MQ command server on z/OS is a sub-task in the master address space. It can be stopped and started using the normal MQSC commands.
In MQ V6.0, remote administration requires a CAF (Client Attach Facility) license. The usual authority rules apply for connecting to MQ, putting messages on the command input q and getting replies from a reply queue.
Eclipse MQ Explorer requires SYSTEM.MQEXPLORER.REPLY.MODEL. See Ch 3 of the WMQ MQSC manual. _________________ Glenn
Also most zOS machines use SYSTEM.COMMAND.INPUT as command server input queue. You may have to define the alias SYSTEM.ADMIN.COMMAND.QUEUE as alias to the previously specified queue for some programs to work correctly at V6 and above.
