Prepare IBM MQ Wizard

The Prepare IBM MQ Wizard helps you to configure IBM MQ with a user account for your network. You must run the wizard to configure the IBM MQ Service before we can start any queue managers.


About this task

The Prepare IBM MQ Wizard window is displayed when the IBM MQ installation completes. Follow the instructions given by the wizard to configure IBM MQ with a user account which has the correct authorization. Then, when prompted by the wizard, select whether to launch IBM MQ Explorer and the Release notes.

If your user account proves to be unsuitable, consult the help included with the wizard, or see Configure IBM MQ accounts in the Prepare IBM MQ Wizard for information about getting your system administrator to create a suitable account for you.

We can use the Prepare IBM MQ Wizard (AMQMJPSE.EXE) with the following parameters:
