The "MQ Config" link fails for a WebSphere MQ Queue Destination configured in WebSphere Application Server 5.0
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
In the WebSphere Application Server 5.0.x Admin Console, the "MQ Config" link appears under "Additional Properties" for a WebSphere MQ Queue Destination. This link is only available for the WebSphere MQ JMS Provider; it does not exist for Embedded Messaging. The "MQ Config" link allows users to modify configuration properties for the WebSphere MQ queue. These properties are additional to the properties that are defined within the Queue Destination definition itself; they are normally only configurable using the MQ configuration utilities.

When a user clicks on the "MQ Config" link, the following error may occur, preventing the user from accessing these configuration options:

The WMQQueueDefiner MBean has encountered an error.
WMSG0323E: The Queue Manager is not available.

This is likely to be seen when the queue manager is remote to the WebSphere server.
 
Cause
This problem occurs because the remote queue manager needs to be running and configured for remote administration.
 
Resolving the problem
To configure the queue manager for remote administration, all of the following steps must be done:

1) The WebSphere MQ client code must be installed on the MQ server.

2) The command server must be running on the local and remote queue manager.

3) A TCP/IP listener must exist for every queue manager.

4) The svrconn channel, SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN, must exist on every remote queue manager:

DEFINE CHANNEL(SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN) CHLTYPE(SVRCONN)

5) The WebSphere user id must be in the mqm group of the queue manager to be administered, or MCAUSER must be used on the svrconn channel.
