MQ Visual Edit

There may be times when the MQAdministrator wishes to users access to particular queue managers but not all of them or wishes to restrict which queue managers they can connect to.

Using MQ Visual Edit, create the CommProfileDB.properties file with all of the queue managers that the MQAdministrator wishes the users to access. Store the CommProfileDB.properties file on a network drive or a shareable directory on the server or network.

To active the locked CommProfileDB.properties, update the mqve.bat file or the mqve.sh script with a JVM environment variable called CommProfileDB. The CommProfileDB (JVM environment variable) will contain ONLY the full path to the CommProfileDB.properties file.

Example: mqve.bat

start javaw -Xms64m -Xmx512m -DCommProfileDB=H:\test biz.capitalware.mqve.MQVE

Example: mqve.sh

java -Xms64m -Xmx512m -DCommProfileDB=/apps/test biz.capitalware.mqve.MQVE

Two important points:
• When the lock for the CommProfileDB.properties file is actived in MQ Visual Edit, the user can no longer change their CommProfileDB Directory location in MQ Visual Edit's Preferences dialog box.
• From an administration point of view, the users should ONLY have read access to the CommProfileDB.properties file and also MQ Visual Edit's install directory.
