The WsMqTest checks the availability of a WebSphere MQ server to handle connection requests from clients. The parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• The port number to which the selected server is listening has to be specified in the PORT textbox. 

• If you want to login as a specific MQ user to execute this test, then specify a valid user name in the USER text box. The test will fail if an invalid user name is specified here. If no such authentication is required, then this parameter can be set to 'none'.

• If a specific USER is entered, then the password of that user has to be specified in the PASSWORD text box.

• Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• In the SERVERCONNCHANNEL text box, enter the name of the server connection channel for the WebSphere MQ server. The default value is "SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN".

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
