Configuring MQAttach to Utilize your existing MQ Environment

1. Install MQAAdmin if not previously installed(http://www.mqattach.com/download/MQATTACH_V1.13/MQALauncher.exe)

2. The Co-ordinating queue Manager that MQAttach uses to communicate with your MQ Environment isdefined by the System Parameters in MQAAdmin

The Local Store QM will typically be your FTE Coordination QM, you need to ensure that you provide

the hostname, the port number and the SVRCONN channel name. Also be ensure that you specify a

"MCA User" on the SVRCONN that is part of the "mqm" group as MQATTACH will dynamically define

Queue for each user that you Register

3. Install MQALauncher (http://www.mqattach.com/download/MQATTACH_V1.13/MQALauncher.exe)4. Please ensure that you have MQ FixPac 7.0.1.3 installed, this has some fixes for client bindings and if I

remember correctly it is the cause of the write protected area issue
