I am trying to get queue depth for remote IBM MQ using PowerShell script/commands. Seems it is not working correctly, please help.

$myremoteconns = New-WMQQmgrConnDef -Name T.test.TEST.QM1 -Hostname abcd_testhost01 -Port 1111 -Channel T.test.MQMQ.TESTCHN
$qm = Get-WMQQueueManager -Connections $myremoteconns | where {$_.Name -like 'T.test.TEST.QM1'}
Error New-WMQQmgrConnDef the term 'New-WMQQmgrConnDef' is not recognized
Already installed WebSphere MQ - Windows PowerShell Library from below.

This error means that PowerShell cannot find this cmdlet. You need to check if the module you installed is properly found by PowerShell. Check this first:
Get-Module -ListAvailable
The result will be like:
PS C:\Users\username\PowerShell> get-module -ListAvailable
Directory: C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules
ModuleType Version Name ExportedCommands
---------- ------- ---- ----------------
Script 3.0.1 ImportExcel {Import-Html, ConvertFrom-ExcelSheet, PieChart, Import-UPS...}
If you don't find the module on the list you can import it manually using:
Import-Module -Name 'C:\path\to\module.psm1'
In PowerShell (starting at V3) modules should be imported automatically if they are inside on of the path specified in environment variable PSModulePath. You can check its value by using:
$env:PSModulePath
Once you know which folders are included in this variable you can either move the module there or just add another path using
$env:PSModulePath = $env:PSModulePath + ";c:\path\to\module"
This will work for current session. If you want to modify it for all session you can add the line below to PowerShell profile.
