To test a IBM MQ Connection

From the Object Repository tab of the Management Console, navigate to the relevant queue manager, right-click and select Test Middleware Administrator IBM MQ Connection. This option instructs the TSMA product to use its IBM MQ Connection settings to determine whether it can connect to the queue manager. A message is then displayed, and if the connection failed, the message includes an MQ error code and description. 

The mqtool utility can also be used with the –test-connections option to verify that TSMA can connect to the queue manager. See Managing integration with MVMA with the CLI for details.
