Restarting a queue manager

We can use the strmqm command to restart a queue manager, or on Windows and Linux x86-64 systems, we can restart a queue manager from IBM MQ Explorer.


We can restart a queue manager by using the strmqm command. For a description of the strmqm command and its options, see strmqm.

On Windows and Linux x86-64 systems, we can restart a queue manager by using the IBM MQ Explorer in the same way as for starting a queue manager.


Procedure

  • To restart a queue manager by using the strmqm command, enter the command followed by the name of the queue manager that we want to restart. For example, to start a queue manager called strmqm saturn.queue.manager, enter the following command:
    strmqm saturn.queue.manager
    
  • To start a queue manager by using the IBM MQ Explorer, complete the following steps:
    1. Open the IBM MQ Explorer.
    2. In the Navigator view, select the queue manager.
    3. Click Start.


Results

The queue manager restarts.

If the queue manager restart takes more than a few seconds IBM MQ issues information messages intermittently detailing the start-up progress.
