Enabling remote administration of queue managers

In IBM® MQ Explorer, you can administer queue managers that are hosted by other computers connected to your computer by TCP/IP. This includes queue managers that are hosted on z/OS®.

About this task

It is possible to connect to a remote queue manager using a different transport protocol but the connection must go through another queue manager to which IBM MQ Explorer is connected.

To remotely administer a queue manager, the queue manager must be running and you must:

Procedure

  1. Ensure that there is a running command server.
  2. Create a server-connection channel to allow remote administration of the queue manager over TCP/IP.
  3. Create a listener to accept incoming network connections.
  4. Ensure that the listener is running.
