IBM MQ for Windows configuration

Example programs and commands for configuration.

Note:

1. We can use the sample program, AMQSBCG, to show the contents and headers of all the messages in a queue. For example:

   AMQSBCG q_name qmgr_name
   

   shows the contents of the queue q_name defined in queue manager qmgr_name.

   Alternatively, we can use the message browser in the IBM MQ Explorer.

2. We can start any channel from the command prompt using the command

   runmqchl -c channel.name
   

3. Error logs can be found in the directories MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH\qmgrs\ qmgrname \errors and MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH\qmgrs\@system\errors. In both cases, the most recent messages are at the end of amqerr01.log.

   MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH represents the high-level directory in which IBM MQ is installed.

4. When you are using the command interpreter runmqsc to enter administration commands, a + at the end of a line indicates that the next line is a continuation. Ensure that there is a space between the last parameter and the continuation character.
