    Hi Vijay,

    In order to make a remote connection (that is a connection over the network) to a queue manager, there are, as you have seen, a number of things that must be in place at the queue manager.

    You may find these instructions in the IBM Docs useful: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.3?topic=programs-configuring-queue-manager-accept-client-connections-multiplatforms

    This page (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.3?topic=explorer-prerequisite-software-definitions-mq) although sparse, may also help since you are trying to use MQ Explorer.

    Please try these out and come back with any more questions you have.

    Cheers,
    Morag

    FYI, there is also an old and crude video on the IBM Support TV at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHIhDJEQGGw . It shows connection to a V8 QMgr but it shows the steps involved. 

    This link may also prove useful: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.3?topic=sme-using-mq-explorer-connect-remote-queue-manager-using-tls-enabled-mqi-channels .

    first, define the channel to be used for connection:

    at the qmgr scripting console run the following: 

    define channel(SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN) chltype(SVRCONN) REPLACE     

    ALTER QMGR CHLAUTH(DISABLED)

    Then from MQ Exploere try to connect: 

    please note that in this way, we have disabled qmgr channel authentication, which shouldn't be done in any production environment.
