Enable remote administration on an existing queue manager using the system default objects

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


When you install IBM MQ, if there are queue managers on the computer from a previous installation, and any of the queue managers are not enabled for remote administration, we can choose to run the Remote Administration wizard. The Remote Administration wizard updates the queue managers that you specify.

If we have already installed IBM MQ on the remote Windows or Linux (x86 and x86-64 platforms) computer, and the computer hosts queue managers that are not enabled for remote administration, we can enable them for remote administration using the system default objects as follows:

Before you enable remote administration on an existing queue manager using the system default objects, start the queue manager in IBM MQ Explorer on the computer that hosts the remote queue manager.

To enable remote administration of an existing queue manager:


Procedure

  1. Right-click the queue manager in the Navigator view, then click Remote Administration.... The Remote Administration dialog opens. IBM MQ checks whether the SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN server connection channel exists, and checks whether there is a listener created and running. The results are displayed in the Remote Administration dialogue.
  2. Click Create to create a SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN channel if one does not exist. The SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN channel is created.
  3. Click Create to create a LISTENER.TCP listener if one does not exist. The LISTENER.TCP listener is created.
  4. Click Close to close the dialog.
