Hello,

I am configuring a VM with MQ EXplorer, to access a set of Queue Managers. There will be several (non-simultaneous) users of this VM.
The MQ Explorer settings (Queue Manager name, IP, port, ...) are stored in C:\Users\<user>\IBM\WebSphereMQ\workspace\..., so linked to the VM user.
I'm looking for a solution to make MQ Explorer (and its settings) accessible to all users of this VM.

Any idea ?
Thank you.

After many tests, I found a solution:
You have to move the C:\Users\<user_name> folder, for example to C:\MQSettings
If MQExplorer is installed in C:\MQExplorer, you must then edit the file C:\MQExplorer\configuration\config.ini, and replace the line
osgi.instance.area=@user.home/IBM/WebSphereMQ/workspace
with
osgi.instance.area=C\:/MQSettings/IBM/WebSphereMQ/workspace
On restart, MQ Explorer will fetch its configuration in C:\MQSettings and not in C:\Users\<user_name>, so all users will have access to the configuration.
Of course, you should not store passwords in the MQ Explorer configuration!
