| I have MQ75 installed on my Win7 laptop. I just want to install IIB V9 toolkit and the IB explorer. My MQ75 is not installed on the IBM default directory. When I run the IB Explorer install.exe, after accepting the license, it tells me that MQ explorer not found. It only gives me the option of cancel or continue. If I continue, the installation completes but it does not provide a way to start the IB explorer. I think this is because it is a plug in that I have to get in into MQ explorer. Does anyone has similar experience and help me how to get this to work. |

In the eclipse links directory of you MQ Explorer Eclipse put a link pointing to IIBExplorer.
file name must end in .link and the content should be like this
| Code: |
| path=C:/Program Files (x86)/IBM/IBExplorer |
filename = com.ibm.wmadmin.broker.explorer.link
Note that the extension has 4 character not 3. This is important.
Have fun

Hi fjb_saper, it does not work for me. Please confirm that I am doing the right thing
My MQ xplore is installed in
C:\My_Program\MQClient701\MQExplorer
I add the txt file com.ibm.wmadmin.broker.explorer.link under
C:\My_Program\MQClient701\MQExplorer\eclipse\links and have a single line
inside the file whihc looks like
path=C:\My_Program\IBM\MBExplorer
C:\My_Program\IBM\MBExplorer is where the MB explore is installed.
I then reboot the WIN7. But I am not getting the broker info in my MQ explorer. Is there any log that I can check for errors ? |

Well you do have a client version of the MQExplorer. This means that you can only connect to a "remote" qmgr (even if local) and as such to a "remote broker" (even if it runs locally).
If the broker stuff does not show up, it is because MBExplorer is for MB 7 and 8. IIB 9 uses IBExplorer...
IIB 10 is accessed either through the WEB interface or the Toolkit. No more IBExplorer for IIB 10...

This is not a text file. It should be file with .link extension (not .link.txt file type) |

Sorry my mistake
path=C:\My_Program\IBM\MBExplorer needed to be
path=C:/My_Program/IBM/MBExplorer
The problem is the / vs \ (which I copy and paste )
Also my apology for the confusion in my update , I have MB7 and IIB9 on the same Windows PC. So I asked about IBExplorer. But My update was using MBExplorer. I have it both working now on my PC with MQ7.5 explorer for MB and my MQV8 explorer for IIB V9. |

Sorry for reopening this thread after a year.
I am having the same issue.
I installed MQ Explorer Version: 8.0.0.5 on my windows PC at path "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ Explorer"
Then tried to install MBExplorer V8, While installing i am getting error "MQExplorer not found, do you want to proceed". it didnt allow me to choose the path of MQExplorer, not sure which location it is searching. I choosed to continue and installation completed with errors at "C:\Program Files\IBM\MBExplorer.
Then i clicked start button, i see"empty" under MB explorer.
I even tried creating link file in MQ Explorer pointing to MB like you suggested in this post, and restarted MQ explorer. But still i dont see MB Explorer in my MQExplorer.
this is the first time i am trying to install MBexplorer. Please guide me if i am doing something wrong here.
Thank you |
