Apart from writing some java that uses CMP API, it seems that this is not possible.
Am I wrong? If so how can you do it?

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

Why should you do it?
You create and change configurable services with mqsicreateconfigurableservice and mqsichangeproperties commands. If you wrap the commands in a script, you can use the script for importing the configurations to other environments.
If you don't have the scripts, I think there is a name for that.
I have not taken a look at a .configurableservice file, but if it's XML you can create an XSL that transforms it to mqsicreateconfigurableservice... |

That rather defeats the purpose of the export IMHO. now if the export could create it directly in command format then I'd be happy.
You can create/edit the configurable services using MBX. It gives you the ability to export/import them so IMHO, the next step is to be able to use the exported definitions in a broker provisioning script. Some types of configurable service (EG SAP) are rather a PITA to get right.
Just trying to keep things simple.

So what you want is a GUI way of generating a command line script.
That is, you want MBX to export a configurable service as an mqsicreateconfigurableservice command string. |

OR
A way for the mqsicreateconfiguableservice to accept a .configurableservice file as input
That would be my preferred solution.

| It is just an xml file, and the attributes of each configurableservice element are directly named after the -n values, so it shouldn't be terribly hard to write something dumb in ant or etc. that would just read the file and output the relevant mqsicreateconfigurableservice command. |

And if you don't want to handle the xml you can always write a (utility) flow to do that work...
