Environment

All supported DevTest Environments 

Cause

To use DevTest Solutions with various third-party applications like IBM MQ, you must make JAR files from the third-party application available to DevTest. These files were missing in DEVTEST-HOME/lib/Shared folder.

Resolution

Copy the IBM MQ jars to  DEVTEST-HOME/lib/Shared folder in the Workstation machine and also on the server where DEVTEST components are installed.   
Restart all components once the jars are applied. 
 

Additional Information

Refer to section "WebSphere MQ File Requirements" in the documentation of the DevTest release you are running.
