Enabling remote access for the queue manager

For IBM® Predictive Maintenance and Quality, you must start the queue manager command line processor to enable remote access to the queue manager.

1. In a terminal window, go to the installation_location/mqsi/9.0.0.2/bin directory. For example, if you installed to the default location, go to the /opt/IBM/mqsi/9.0.0.2/bin directory.
2. Change to the mqm user. For example, su mqm.
3. Enter the following command to load the profile that is needed for the mqm user, and press Enter:

   . ~/.bash_profile

4. As the mqm user, enter the following command to start the queue manager:

   runmqsc queue_manager_name

   For example, to use the default queue manager named pmqmanager, enter:

   runmqsc pmqmanager

5. Enter the following lines, and press Enter after each line:

   START LISTENER

   ALTER QMGR CHLAUTH(ENABLED)

   SET CHLAUTH(SYSTEM.BKR.CONFIG) TYPE(ADDRESSMAP) ADDRESS('*')  MCAUSER('mqm')

   SET CHLAUTH(SYSTEM.BKR.CONFIG) TYPE(BLOCKUSER) USERLIST('*NOACCESS')

   END

   Important: The ADDRESS('*') value in the command allows connections from any IP address. Consider restricting the access to a single computer. For more information about these values, see the WebSphere® MQ documentation.
