You need to tell the connector if you have the MQ Client or MQ Server installed on the DataStage server. And sorry, no connectors in Server... yet. Seem to recall plans to add them someday, though.

There's no need to convert....the jobs will still work "as is" with the Plugin...and if you were using the plugin, you were using MQ Server because the Plugin never supported MQ Client....

...is your MQ Server co-resident with DataStage....then use MQ Server.

You are right Ernie i am using server only it works pretty fine,when we give the queue manger in MQ stages we never give the username password but in here it is enabled also i did not give the user name password in here it works fine is there any specific reason for that.

In Unix/Linux, as I recall, MQ uses the process ID......the challenge is required for Windows....so the old plugin was smart and only displayed the userid and pw if needed.
