MQ Plugin: Add ability to set object perms (SET AUTHREC) with remote queue manager

Currently they SetPermission steps in the MQ Plugin require an agent on the MQ Server. These appear to be the only steps where this is the case (with the exception of those actions which cannot be done via runmqsc commands). I have written my own shell script which does this but I feel this should be part of the product. If the other steps in the MQ Plugin can use Remote Queue Managers, there is not reason why the SetPermission steps cannot as well.

Here a sample script i use to accomplish this. I have swapped out UCD properties for local variable for examples sake.

#! /bin/bash

O=$IFS #save original IFS
IFS="," # set IFS to comma separation

adGroups="Group1,Group2,Group3"
queue="QUEUE.ONE"
localQMGR="QM1"
remoteQMGR="QM2"
waitInterval=20

for group in $adGroups
do
echo $group
authString="SET AUTHREC PROFILE('$queue') GROUP('$group') OBJTYPE(QUEUE) AUTHADD(BROWSE,DSP,INQ)"
runmqsc -w $waitInterval -m $localQMGR $remoteQMGR <<-EOF
$authString
EOF
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
exit 99
fi
done

IFS=$O #restore old IFS

    Thank You for creating this RFE. After thourough evaluation and checking with development we decided to close this RFE as MQ does not provide the necessary interfaces to be used by the plugin and a workaround (as described in the RFE description) is available.

    The feature that is described in this request is a candidate for a future release.
