2.16 Configuring Messaging Servers
2.16.1 Configuring an IBM MQ Server
Before attempting to monitor an IBM MQ server using eG Enterprise, ensure the following:
The root user should be a member of the mqm group
The mqm user’s primary group should be mqm group
The eG agent’s user should be a member of the mqm group
Start the command server for each queue manager that you want to monitor. To start the
command server, do the following:
1. From the command prompt, switch to the bin directory of the MQ install directory
using the command:
cd /bin
For example, cd /opt/mqm/bin
2. Then, execute the following command from the bin directory:
./strmqcsv
For example, if saturn.queue.manager is the name of the queue manager, then the
command to start the command server will be:
2.16.2 Configuring a FioranoMQ Server
./strmqcsv saturn.queue.manager
To monitor a FioranoMQ server, events generation in the FioranoMQ server should be enabled. The
events are disabled by default. To enable them, include the flag ENABLE_EVENTS=TRUE in the server
configuration file (server.cfg). This file can be found in the bin directory of the server. After making the
above change, restart the server. When this is done, the events mechanism in the server will initialize
and would be ready for publishing the events.
2.16.3 Configuring an iPlanet / SunONE Messaging Server
The eG agent on an iPlanet/SunONE messaging server executes an IMSUserTest on the server, which
reports key statistics pertaining to the user accounts that exist in a domain. The test retrieves the
required user-specific statistics from the Directory server that has been configured for the messaging
server. To ensure that the eG agent effectively executes this test, the following configurations are to
be performed:
1. Open the Netscape Console using the menu sequence depicted in Figure 2.124.
