Client system

IBM® MQ client system and configuration requirements include:

  • IBM MQ client software is installed and configured. One or more queue managers and queues must have been defined on the system. For information about how to configure IBM MQ, see the IBM MQ documentation.
  • The access methods for the IBM MQ adapter follow standard IBM MQ authentication guidelines and do not require any special permissions to work with IBM MQ. The adapter requires permission to those IBM MQ functions used in the IBM MQ adapter. Although registering the user account as a member of the IBM MQ Group (mqm) would simplify the configuration (because of not having to set individual user or group permissions), it is not a requirement. Permissions can be set at the user account level to connect to, get messages from, and put messages on queues. These minimal permissions are: Connect, Put, Get, Browse, and Inq. The Set permission is not required because the maps do not alter queue managers or queues.
