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:
- Open the IBM MQ Explorer.
- In the Navigator view, select the queue manager.
- 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.
