Is it possible to use the qpid-config.py tool on a Broker-J broker?

["David Cotton (EXT)" <Da...@BNSF.com>]

Windows environment. Running Apache Broker-J (Java implementation of the broker)

I have access to another Broker (It was built by another department in the company) and the qpid-config.py utility works well with that broker. Recently, there's been a switch to having multiple brokers. (Company politics, don't ask why don't I get the broker software from the other department). The easiest implementation is the Broker-J version from Apache. However would still like to use the python tool.

I'm using the command: qpid-config.py -b localhost:10000 queues -r

I configured my broker to support these protocols:
AMQP_1_0, AMQP_0_8, AMQP_0_10, AMQP_0_9, AMQP_0_9_1
Anonymous authentication is enabled.

I added a qmf.default.topic (topic) exchange via the web configuration tool. (Got an error from the tool).

Now getting the error:
Failed: InternalError: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\BNSF\ITCM\QPID\qpid-python-0.30\qpid-python-0.30\qpid\messaging\driver.py", line 670, in write op.dispatch(self)
File "C:\BNSF\ITCM\QPID\qpid-python-0.30\qpid-python-0.30\qpid\ops.py", line 84, in dispatch getattr(target, handler)(self, *args)
AttributeError: Engine instance has no attribute 'do_message_set_flow_mode'

Since the right protocol is enabled, I'm thinking there's a configuration issue.

TIA

No, the python tooling commands like qpid-config were only for the C++
broker and though some of it will be using intrinsic AMQP 0-x
commands, much of it uses a management framework (QMF) that Broker-J
does not support.
