Queue Managers Supported

  • WebSphere MQ 8.x and above.

WebSphere MQ Prerequisites

To access a queue manager, you will need to install/have installed one of the following. These products install the necessary classes which Andi Queue Explorer uses to interface with WebSphere MQ.

Headless Deployment

To automatically configure the Andi.vmoptions file during Andi Queue Browser startup, create the <andi-install-home>/mq_client_classpath.ini and place the complete MQ client classpath from one of the options below into the file. The next time the Andi Queue Browser is used it will add the classpath to the Andi.vmoptions file.

IBM-MQ-Install-Java-All

The simplest approach is to add Andi MQ support, as it is a lightweight download consisting of a few jars that need to be added to the classpath.

  1. Download and unpack: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21683398

  2. Add MQ Jar classpath to the Andi.vmoptions file after replacing all occurrences of <install-dir> with the actual install location of the jar files.

  1. Install a client support pack which is a free download.

  • WebSphere MQ V8 clients

  • WebSphere MQ V9 client

    • WebSphere MQ Explorer V9
