How to use RFHUTILC.EXE to connect to a remote queue manager

RfhUtil is IBM WebSphere MQ Client, use for read data from files and/or queues; write data to files and/or queues and display data in a variety of formats. However, it is not an editor. While the user data portion of the message can be displayed in a variety of formats, it cannot be changed. 

Prerequisite: 

1. Remote system installed with IBM WebSphere MQ.

2. System have RfhUtil Client.

Step 1: Create Queue manager on Remote system and check below option during creation of Queue Manager.

If you already have Queue Manager than check if SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN channel exists or not.

If value not showed Exists than click on Create.

Step 2: Create Queue in newly created Queue Manager.

Step 3: Create new System variable in the system from where you want to connect Remote Queue manager.

Variable name : MQSERVER

Variable value : SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN/TCP/IP address of remote system(listener port of Queue manager)

Step 4: Open rfhutilc.exe

Step 5: Give Queue manager name as created new system variables. Click on Load names, it will display all Queue name which you have created on remote system.

Step 6: Write data to queue. Click on open file and pass  text file or XML file with some value. Go to MQMD tab and choose "MQSTR" for MQ Message format.

Step 7: Read data from Queue.

Note : If error 2035 is returned you will need to add a authorised user id to the MCA field of the target queue. I will post solution in my further post.
