Access Denied error with BizTalk 2004 Adapter for MQ WebSphere 2.0

Couple of gotchas from Jose Luis Calvo on installing the MQ adapter.

The other thing we've seen is an access denied error when trying to enumerate the queues and queue managers when creating a send or receive port in the property pages.
You need to be in the mqm group (the account you're logged in with, not any of the service accounts involved), and, annoyingly, you need to reboot the MQ box after making that permission change.

SWIFT accelerator install gotcha

Today I was trying to install the SWIFT accelerator in a new domain, and I was getting the following error, even though I was logged in as a member of the biztalk admin group.

"SWIFT accelerator In order to install the Run-time Components, the user must be a member of the BizTalk Server Administrators group and SQL Server must be running"

Having hunted through the log file for the setup, it turns out the name of the BizTalk admin group is hardcoded in the SWIFT accelerator setup. We had changed the name of the group because it was too long for the domain, from BizTalk Server Administrators to BizTalk Administrators. I added the group locally, added the user to the group, and the setup ran fine. Nasty.
