There is no field on the definition of a QREMOTE object for MCAUSER. Are you perhaps creating a channel definition instead?

If you are creating a channel definition then the MCAUSER field can be used in the following ways:-

  • Left blank and allowed to adopt the user ID from the client (not recommended unless you can trust your network setup and thus the client machines).
  • Left blank, and assigned by a CHLAUTH rule (preferred because you can set it dependent on other criteria allowing you to be more convinced a client machine is allowed to connect at all).
  • Left blank, and then set by a security exit (consider if you are pre-V7.1) and can't use the previous bullet).
  • Set to a user ID known to the O/S of the queue manager's machine (again not recommended because now all connections to that channel will run with that user ID).

If this doesn't answer, perhaps you can provide a screenshot of exactly what you were doing?
