Tested with WebSphere MQ 5.2, 5.3 and 6.0. Hermes includes a plugin for this provider so you can efficiently monitor queue depth and age.

There is a tutorial on how to configure and another that explains how to set destination properties (e.g. targetClient).

• If you wish to have a remote connection to a queue manager you must set transportType=1 on the MQQueueConnectionFactory in the Preferences->Sessions dialog.
• If you select a large number of messages (1000s) to remove from a queue you can blow the stack space. MQ JMS uses recursion to parse the SQL meaning there is a limit on its size.
• If you wish to monitor queues with the Watch functionality then you also need to install (and add to the providers classpath) support pack MS0B, the library you want is com.ibm.mq.pcf.jar
• When getting the PCF libraries, ensure you get the right version to match your version of WebSphereMQ.

• You may see exceptions in the log file such as:

Caused by: javax.jms.IllegalStateException: MQJMS1112: JMS1.1 Invalid operation for domain specific object
at com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueueConnectionFactory.getSubscriptionStore(MQQueueConnectionFactory.java:481)
... 25 more 

This is normal. Hermes reflects on the connection factory. The domain neutral connection factory has methods on it that are really domain specific hence the exception. You can safely ignore the errors.
