Hi,
I need to administrate a remote queue manager from a unix machine, can you please tell me if there is any tool or utility for this?
Actually for remote queue manager i have network connection / firewall from only one machine which is unix machine. I can not use MQ explorer from my local window machine as network connection is not open in this case.
is there any tool which uses the connection from a middle machine or any tool which works directly on unix machine (sun solaris)
runmqsc works only for local queue manager
Thanks

well, you can always ssh/telnet to the remote machine and use runmqsc there.
What kind of Unix machine, btw? If it's Linux, you can install WebSphere MQ Explorer on the linux machine, and do that.
There are a few other tricks you can use to forward ports from one machine to another, but that's likely breaking the boundaries that the firewall is there to provide.
There's also a supportpac - one of the MOs? that will let you run mqsc over a client connection.

it is sun solaris machine.
i guess for ssh and telnet we should these specific ports open and also need a user name and password to login to destination machine, isnt it ?
runmqsc -w remoeQMgr worked fine for me, not sure if there is any other way preferable GUI based.
there is one limitation in runmqsc, channels and transmission queue should be there for destination qMgr |

Peter ,
Is there any way where we can do the admin even if we do not have any direct channels to that QM,
runmqsc -w RQM is doing 50% of my work but couple of queue manager are not having direct channels with my QM
myQM ---------- QM2 -----------TargetQM
I have a connection to them via QM2 |

You can do more tricks with name resolution to set up a multi-hop path between your local qm and the remote qm - as long as you can admin the intermediate boxes first.
You're really stretching the boundaries of what you SHOULD be doing, though. If you need centralized monitoring and management, you should be looking at a professional tool.

Well, then you need some tool that runs on the UNIX server and connects out to the remote QM.
Look at the MO72 Support Pack. You will need the remote QM to have a client channel that allows you to connect in.
If this UNIX server is Linux x86 you can run MQExplorer on it. But again you would need a client channel on that remote QM.

I thought MO71 and by extension MO72 let you use a multihop design for qmgr administration....
All you really need to have is a default path from the qmgr you are connected to, to the qmgr you are running the admin for, and a default path back!.. Of course it is easier if you can have a client connection...
Enjoy
