Hi,
I want to write/read on queues on a remote queue manager. MQ is installed on z/os and I know the host (eq: myHost) and the port (eg. 1234) and the Channel (eg. SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN).
I am starting rfhutilc (V7.0) with the following batch:
| Code: |
set MQSERVER=SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN/TCP/myHost(1234)
rfhutilc.exe |
After starting rfhutilc I am going to MQ-->MQConn and afterwards I am pressing the button "load names". The outputwindows says: "Error getting queue names"
What I am doing wrong? Could it be a secruity issue (userID/pw - if required - where can I enter these?)? |

Maybe the zOS qmgr is not running a PCF compatible command server.
Try entering the queue name manually. |

What's the reason code that you are getting? You can see that right after the error message that you have posted.

@mqjeff No it does not work
@sumit No error code is displayed - the whole line is "16.21.17 Error getting queue names" |

Any RACF-related messages (or whatever flavour of access controller being used) in the queue manager CHIN/MSTR logs?

If the zOS qmgr is not running a PCF compatible command server (listening to the queue that rfhutil is expecting it to be listening to), then you will never get Load Names to function, no matter what configuration you do on rfhutil.
Try manually entering the queue name, and then PUT or GET or whatever.
Or do what you should have done, and go talk to your mainframe MQ admin. |

| Not only do you need MQ v6 on z/OS but RACF permission to run PCF commands as well. Look for ICH408I messages in the syslog. |

set MQSERVER=SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN/TCP/10.119.46.13(1417)
start rfhutilc
This I used to use. But make sure the IP/HOST name you are passing is correct. In our scenario, MF QMGR is remote and we have firewall to map its IP/PORT in the network.
Are you sure that the ip/port is fine ? If not it would have given you "SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN/TCP/10.119.46.13(1417)" line in the QMGR drop down list instead the name of it.
If you are sure about that, then you would get the remote queue manager name in the drop down.
I am not that sure why you are not getting the queues in the drop down list.

Ok - I will try it. With WebSphere MQ-Explorer I can connect to the remote MQM.
If rfhutil wont work - can you suggest another program to connect to the remote MQM? I also need the pub/sub function of rfhutil, too. |

If MQExplorer can connect - so can RFHUTILC - just find out the connection details.
RFHUTILC is basically a MQI application - if it can't connect then you are not in a position to run MQ client applications.
However you may need to define a new SVRCONN channel and don't ever let real client applications use system channels. |

Can you explain this a bit?
I am using a channel of type "serverconnection" (from the properties in MQ Explorer) with "TCP" transport enabled. Doesnt it mean that this one should be the right one for my purpose? So I just have to enter the name in my batch? |

What I mean is don't share the same channel NAME between applications and admin.
I came across SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN being used by an application - this sort of thing makes it hard to impose security rules. |
