Chapter 3 Adding a Queue Manager Access Profile

Adding a Queue Manager Access Profile

This section will describe how to add a Queue Manager Access Profile so that you can connect to a local or remote queue manager.

From the main menu of MQ Visual Edit, select File then Open Queue

The following is the Open Queue Dialog panel:

Now select the Add button to create a new Queue Manager Access Profile

You will be prompted to provide a name for the new Queue Manager Access Profile. It is suggested that you provide a name that describes the queue manager and its location.
e.g. hostname:QueueManagerName
Note: Do not use semi-colons ";" in the name.

If the queue manager is local to where you are running MQVE then all you need to specify is the queue manager.

UserId - A blank or unset UserId means that MQ Visual Edit will connect to a Queue Manager and use whatever authority the MCA has. At some companies, this type of access is not allowed. Therefore, type in your valid UserId for the Queue Manager that you are connecting to.

If the queue manager is remote to where you are running MQVE then you must all 4 parameters: queue manager, Channel Name, IP / hostname and port number.
If the remote queue manager is located on OS/390 (mainframe) then select Mainframe from the drop-down combobox.

Optional:

For those companies that use a security exit to allow mq client applications to connect to their queue managers, the user will need to fill in the Class Name and Jar File Location.

For example, if you are using Capitalware's MQUASX solution then the fields would be set as follows:
Class Name

biz.capitalware.mqausx.MQAUSXJ
Jar File Location

C:\Capitalware\MQAUSX\MQAUSX.jar

Optional:

For those companies that use SSL to allow mq client applications to connect to their queue managers, the user will need to fill in the SSL fields.

It is highly recommended that you press the Test button before you save your newly created Queue Manager Access Profile.
You should receive the following message if MQ Visual Browse can connect to the specified queue manager:
