Hi,
I've just installed the MQ v7 3-month full trial version on a Windows 7 box. In the MQ Explorer, I'm able to create a new queue manager, but I cannot create a new queue - neither on the newly created manager, or on the default installed manager. Absolutely nothing happens - no error messages, pop-ups, or entries in the event log.
Also, when trying to inspect the properties of one of the default queues, the window is "empty" (i.e. no entries after the captions).
Brgds and thanks,
Michael |

Local user or domain user installation? Have a look HERE for an explanation.

| Windows + "new install" == reboot. |

Well - I did have a couple of issues with that. The current installation was done on a stand-alone machine, but since the current user is a domain-user, initially that user was not added to the "mqm" group which I subsequently did however. Also, since the install program adds all local administrators to the "mqm" group, I have tried logging on as another local administrator: exactly the same result. Nothing happens.
Brgds,
Michael |

The machine has been booted numerous times since MQ installation.
Has anybody had problems running on Windows 7 ?

Did you look at the link I posted?

Any errors in the eclipse log ? (Will be in a file called %APPDATA%\IBM\MQ Explorer\.metadata\.log). |

To exerk: Yes - I have read the link info - but it's not applicable. It's installed on a stand-alone machine.
To PhilBlake: I wasn't aware of the Eclipse log (I' not a Java programmer), but it was a good idea. The following error is recorded in the same moment I try to create a new queue:

This means eclipse cannot get some system resources and can be caused by various reasons. If you use the windows Task Manager, you can see who's got most of the handles.
BTW - you can always download the latest MQ Explorer from here http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg24021041&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en |

I did have a "runaway" process using 15000 handles. Killing the process, however, makes no difference.
I installed the s/w in a Windows 7 virtual machine (using Sun's Virtual Box). In there, it works like a charm (even with the runaway handles process). So a possible reason might be the different environments, notably - given Java's idiosynchrasies - Java related environment variables.
I will try to eliminate env. variables - possibly leftovers from a previous MQ client. |

Killing the process is not always enough - a Windows reboot will fix it. |

Well I have killed the process and rebooted. I have removed all other Java VMs and have modified environment variables accordingly. Still, exactly the same problem.
I have tried installing the product on a domain-attached XP box, and on that installation get a whole bunch of "Unexpected" errors.
Consequently, I have no idea what to do next. |

The strmqcfg command uses a JVM installed with Eclipse, so shouldn't be picking up any other JVM's installed on the same m/c.
You still get the "no more handles" error ? So there is still a rogue process using up system resources or if you think this is a WMQ process then you should consider opening a PMR. What's the name of the rogue process ? |

| Yes I still get the same handles error. There are no rogue processes as far as I can see (at least not any acquiring exceptional number of handles). What's a PMR and how do you open it (asuming some kind of problem report I guess) ? |

Yes, something like Problem Management Report (?). For the trial version of MQ there's some help here http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/ws/wmq/trialsupport.html on how to raise a problem. |
