Hi,
We are trying to connect to MQ server on windows to MQ server on mainframe. We have done all the set up and the port on mainframe is opened as well. CAF is installed on mainframe.
For some reason the connection is not successful. Can you please throw some light as to what else could be the problem or what other setup do we have to make?
THnaks. |

If you're trying to connect 2 queue managers you don't need CAF. Is the Windows server running a queue manager, or is there an application on the Windows server trying to establish a client connection to the mainframe queue manager?

What reason? Are you getting an error code? Are there log messages? There are a wide variety of reasons why this might not be working, from network issues through to security. Without more information it's impossible to tell.
But, as you say you've done "all the set up" may I perhaps foolishly assume that in addition to the port being open the network names resolve properly, all the required channels are in place for the connection you're trying to establish, security (especially on the mainframe side) is set up correctly and will accept the Windows id, the application is using the right connection and you've tested all of this going Windows -> Windows and it works?

We are not running any application on windows. just trying to connect from the queue manager on windows to the mainframe queue manager.
The required channels are in place. But am not quite sure about the security ie inorder to accept the windows id, not sure what set up needs to be done. Can you please help.
We are getting an RC 2195(amq4048).
Thanks. |

A 2195 (as I'm sure your research will have revealed) is an unexpected error. There should be a matching FDC file on the queue manager throwing the error - you don't say which queue manager is throwing the error. You also don't say what versions of MQ you're using, what version of Windows you're using, under what circumstances the 2195 is thrown or much else that's useful.
Within the FDC is a Probe Id which is a detailed explaination of the error. Google that, search this forum for it or contact IBM & raise a PMR.
On the plus side, it's unlikely to be a security issue - that's a 2035. You'll probably hit that when this is fixed. You might want to review the Security & z/OS System Setup manuals, that will tell you all you need to know.
And make sure the mainframe's RACF admin is in the loop.

I am sorry for not providing complete information. The error is on the windows queue manager. MQ version running on windows is V6.0 and that running on mainframe is V5.3. Will this be an issue?

Wrong FDC, or you are not sending MQ data through the MQ port.
This FDC gets typically created if you try a telnet to the MQ port which is one way of verifying the access (firewall and all) to the MQ manager...
The FDC might however correspond to the MQ reason code you mentioned and both might relate to that telnet attempt.
What do the MQ logs show? (<MQinstall>/data/qmgrs/<qmgr>/errors/*01.LOG)
Enjoy

I have checked the log. It is complaining about the channel definition. The channel definition looks perfectly OK. But apart from this it is not giving any more information.
I have googled for the PROBE ID CO052000 and the link http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg1IC48803
is talking about some fix. I am downloading this fix from the above link and will try if this works. |

Did you successfully ping (the MQ ping) your sender channel? |
