How to Discover WebSphere MQ

The WebSphere MQ job discovers WebSphere MQ components and includes the following steps:

1. Prerequisite - Set up protocol credentials

   This discovery uses the SSH, Telnet, or NTCMD protocols.

   For credential information, see Supported Protocols.

   The Shell commands are (sudo is optional):

   • dspmqver or mqver

   • dsmpq

   • runmqsc or runmqadm -r

2. Prerequisite - IP Addresses

   Verify that all WebSphere MQ server IP addresses are within the scope of the Data Flow Probe. For details, see the section describing how to add Probe range in the Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Help.

3. Run the discovery

   1. Configure parameters for the MQ by Shell job as necessary. For details, see "Data Flow Probe Setup" in the Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Help.

   2. Run the following jobs to collect information required to trigger WebSphere MQ discovery:

   • Range IPs by ICMP. Discovers the WebSphere MQ server IP addresses.

   • Host Connection by Shell. Discovers operating system information on the WebSphere MQ servers.

   • Host Applications by Shell. Discovers instances of WebSphere MQ on the servers.

   • MQ by Shell. Discovers the WebSphere MQ infrastructure.
