We are trying to establish a SSL channel between queue manager running on a mainframe(zOS) and an MQ client 6.0 running on Solaris 8.

We have installed all required certificates etc. I understand that on the MQ client, we need a client definition table (i.e .TAB file) to be able to create connection on a SSL channel. How could we create this .TAB file ? Could we create it using any utilities on the MQ client as opposed to the server since there is some limitation on being able to create this file on z/OS.

Or is there any other way to establish SSL connection to the queue manager running on zOS . Please note we do not have the luxury of changing the API being used to connect to the Queue Manager from the client...as the software on the client side is a third party software.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

A qmgr can create a client channel definition table. The table is created when you define client connection channels using DEFINE CHL(...) CHLTYPE(CLNTCONN) ...

The sole purpose of these channel definitions is to populate the table, which needs to be made available (exported) to the platform where you intend to run client applications.

Refer to the WMQ Clients manual for details.

If you have a queue manager running on distributed, you could use that to create the CCDT (TAB) file.

What do you perceive as being the limitations to creating it on z/OS? (asking purely out of interest).

None. Refer to the WMQ z/OS System Admin Guide,Chapter 17. Using the WebSphere MQ utilities, for instructions.
