The following procedure describes what you need to do before you create and configure your WebSphere MQ Adapter connection.

Before you configure or manage an adapter connection

1. Install webMethods Integration Server and the WebSphere MQ Adapter on the same machine. For details, see Installing, Upgrading, and Uninstalling WebSphere MQ Adapter.

2. Make sure that you have webMethods administrator privileges so that you can access the WebSphere MQ Adapter administrative screens. For information about setting user privileges, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.

3. Start Integration Server and Integration Server Administrator, if they are not already running.

4. Using Integration Server Administrator, make sure that the WmMQAdapter package is enabled. To verify the status of the WmMQAdapter package, see Enabling Packages.

5. Using Software AG Designer, create a user-defined package to contain the connection, if you have not already done so. For more information about managing packages, see Package Management.

6. In order to create an adapter connection that connects to a WebSphere MQ queue, you must ensure that the correct permissions are set for the user. For information about setting permissions, see Setting Permissions in WebSphere MQ.
