Working with administrative topics

Working with administrative topics

Use MQSC commands to manage administrative topics.

See MQSC commands for detailed information about these commands.

Defining an administrative topic
Use the MQSC command DEFINE TOPIC to create an administrative topic. When defining an administrative topic we can optionally set each topic attribute.
Displaying administrative topic object attributes
Use the MQSC command DISPLAY TOPIC to display an administrative topic object.
Change administrative topic attributes
We can change topic attributes in two ways, using either the ALTER TOPIC command or the DEFINE TOPIC command with the REPLACE attribute.
Copying an administrative topic definition
We can copy a topic definition using the LIKE attribute on the DEFINE command.
Delete an administrative topic definition
We can use the MQSC command DELETE TOPIC to delete an administrative topic.
