You really don't want anyone writing an Eclipse plugin that will misuse your MQ connections to read arbitrary files from the file system...
As for not having CAF, MQ Explorer *can* connect to a zOS v6 qmgr using a secondary qmgr...
But I'm actually not sure how ms0s will handle that. It will either work, or fail, depending on what MQExplorer returns for the platform of the connection.

Have you tried administering through a distributed qmgr?? (Don't know if you can with MQExplorer (you can tell I'm not a big fan) but we do it through Mo71...)

So far I really like this tool and everyone I have demonstrated it for thought it could be very useful. I did find one thing, if you have to many characters for a channel name or whatever, it does not reflect in the editor...........I am not sure if it is suppose to or not. Very solid tool.  |

It currently does no validation on names or values at all.
That's coming as soon as it can.

One thing I forgot to mention, I did run the scripts from my local box to a Linux server and I was under my ID and the channel on the Linux server did show up owned by mqm.
Sure I say it is solid and now I go to use it again and I am trying to run the script and the Run Script on Queue Manager is coming up with no QMGRS listed??????????  |

It only lists active & connected qmgrs.

| OK. I did start channels on both, then tried to run....field was still empty, so I closed a started MQExplorer and then the fields were populated. |

I guess I mean "connected" in the MQ Explorer, with a filled-in icon. I'm not sure about starting channels.
But I'll make a note to see if this comes up again.

Nice plugin.
Rather than import MQSC scripts into my workspace, I created a new Simple Project and specified the location of my MQSC scripts already (these are version controlled in Subversion).
An F5 on the MQSC Scripts folder in WebSphere MQ Explorer perspective brought up all the .MQS files in that newly added simple project 
The saveqmgr supportpac generates .AUT files with setmqaut commands. It would be nice to be able to use those types of files too (and run them against qmgrs).

I'm not really sure I want to rewrite setmqaut, which is what I'd have to do. I've already gone fairly far down the road of re-writing runmqsc, and that's pretty much enough.
If future versions expose the security commands through MQSC (rather than just PCF) then I'll support setting authorizations through ms0s.

I have asked the same question in relation to MQDocument client mode, so I could retrieve through MQSC client or passthrough QMGR setup, the security settings, but was told this is not in plan at all, due to the different 'structures' of the authorisation commands... 
I still hope it can be done through MQSC one day, but I am not holding my breath...

As a side note, there's really nothing "special" about the MQSC Scripts project.
It's just there as a convenience. It will always be there... even if you delete it, I think it will come back. But you don't have to use it. Any files with appropriate extensions in the workbench will be found.

Hi Jeff,
I download this plugin and used it.Its working fine.
If you want to see the objects on a queue manager in explorer we can see it,if we want to create new objects we can create using WMQ Explorer.
Honestly,what is main advantage of this tool as it is surving the same thing what explorer can do
Thank you

How many mouse clicks do you have to make to delete two queues using the MQ Explorer GUI?
How many to create five queues? What happens if you need to create those same five queues on two qmgrs?

Or have to record the queue definitions in a source code repositiory?
