Configuring ITCAM agent for WebSphere MQ
This section contains instructions for setting up ITCAM agent for WebSphere® MQ before you start the agent.
About this task
Procedure
- If WebSphere MQ default objects such as SYSTEM.DEFAULT.MODEL.QUEUE do not exist in your environment, create them before starting the agent. For information about how to create these default objects, see your WebSphere MQ documentation.
- If you choose not the use the default account (Localsystem) to run the agent, add the user ID to the mqm group. See Authorizing user IDs for instructions.
- If the user ID that you use to start, run, and stop the agent (the default is Localsystem) is not a member of the Administrators group, set permissions for the user ID to ensure that the agent can be started and stopped successfully. See Setting permissions for non-administrator user IDs.
- (WebSphere MQ 7.1 or later): Add the library path of WebSphere MQ to the PATH local variable of the agent. See Specifying WebSphere MQ library path (WebSphere MQ 7.1 or later).
- If the latest version of WebSphere MQ is not primary installation or WebSphere MQ is not installed in the default directory, specify the WebSphere MQ installation path in the kmqenv file. See Specifying WebSphere MQ installation path (WebSphere MQ 7.1 or later).
- Optional: If you have not configured the agent during installation, configure it now. See Configuring the ITCAM agent for WebSphere MQ.
