Security settings for MQ agent resources on z/OS

If security is enabled for your queue manager or queue sharing group, you must set up security for the HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) MQ agent resources and give user IDs access to the Test Integrations and APIs intercept queue.

Note: As of version 9.2.0, Test Integrations and APIs uses queues that are named COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT_LCK, COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT.<QMGR>_LCK, RIT.DIVERT.RULES_LCK, and RIT.DIVERT.RULES.<QMGR>_LCK. Test Integrations and APIs 9.2.0 attempts to create these queues automatically when they are first accessed. If you do not allow Test Integrations and APIs to create queues, then you must predefine these queues. The jobs within the RIT.PROC dataset contain sample statements for creating the required security profiles to allow Test Integrations and APIs to create the queues. The RITDEFN job contains commands for creating the queues manually, if you prefer to predefine them.
As of version 9.5.0, Test Integrations and APIs also requires the following namelists and queues to be defined:
  • Namelists
    • COM.GREENHAT.EXIT.INTERCEPT
    • COM.GREENHAT.EXIT.DIVERT1
    • COM.GREENHAT.EXIT.DIVERT2
  • Queue
    • COM.GREENHAT.ALLOW.GENERIC.QNAMES

These resources are not created automatically by the MQ agent and must be created by the WebSphere® MQ administrator before starting the MQ agent. The RITDEFN job contains commands for creating these objects. RIT users need READ access to COM.GREENHAT.ALLOW.GENERIC.QNAMES in order to record transports, or to use wild cards in the names of queues to be recorded.

Security settings for a single queue manager

Use the following definitions for the security settings of the various classes when the queue manager is not part of a queue sharing group. Substitute MQPG with the name of the queue manager.

Security settings for a Queue Sharing Group

Use the following definitions for the security settings of the various classes when the queue manager is part of a queue sharing group. Substitute MQPG with either the name of the queue sharing group or the name of the queue manager depending on whether your site defines MQ security at the queue manager level or at the group level.
Note: Each queue manager must have permission to access each of the Test Integrations and APIs namelists and queues. For example, if the queue sharing group is made up of queue managers named QMGA, QMGB, and QMGC, Test Integrations and APIs uses the following namelists and queues:
Object Name Object Type QSGDISP
COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT.QMGA Namelist GROUP
COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT.QMGB Namelist GROUP
COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT.QMGC Namelist GROUP
RIT.DIVERT.RULES.QMGA Namelist GROUP
RIT.DIVERT.RULES.QMGB Namelist GROUP
RIT.DIVERT.RULES.QMGC Namelist GROUP
COM.GREENHAT.COMMAND.QUEUE.QMGA Queue SHARED
COM.GREENHAT.COMMAND.QUEUE.QMGB Queue SHARED
COM.GREENHAT.COMMAND.QUEUE.QMGC Queue SHARED
COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT_LCK Queue SHARED
COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT.QMGA_LCK Queue SHARED
COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT.QMGB_LCK Queue SHARED
COM.GREENHAT.INTERCEPT.QMGC_LCK Queue SHARED
RIT.DIVERT.RULES.QMGA_LCK Queue SHARED
RIT.DIVERT.RULES.QMGB_LCK Queue SHARED
RIT.DIVERT.RULES.QMGC_LCK Queue SHARED
Define the MQADMIN, MQNLIST, MQCMDS, and MQQUEUE profiles and accesses as listed in the following table to make them accessible from all the three queue managers:
Class Resource Integration Tester agent Job/Started Task Userid CHINIT Integration Tester User Application Userid
