APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
When attempting to configure an MQ resource in the admin
console, customers may experience a 500 error from the admin
console application due to a NullPointerException.  This is
caused by the underlying mbeans attempting to use PCF calls to
remotely configure MQ resources (PCF calls are not supported on
MQ for z/OS).  For now, customers will not be able to configure
an MQ resource through the admin console application.
.
This problem generally manifests itself as a
NullPointerException with the following top entries in the
stacktrace:
com.ibm.ws.console.resources.jms.mqseries.MQSeriesQueueControlle
r.setupDetailForm(MQSeriesQueueController.java:117)

Local fix
Configure or alter the MQ resources in the MQ 'alter local
queue' panels.

****************************************************************
The MQ PCF code used by the WMQQueueDefiner MBean is not
supported on the z/OS platform. The WMQQueueDefiner fails to
communicate with the Queue Manager returning a null properties
object to the presentation layer MQSeriesQueueController class.
Problem conclusion
Created a new Command Server to be used by the
WMQQueueDefiner MBean to communicate with the Queue Manager.
This new Command Server does not use MQ PCF code.
