Command sets comparison

The tables in this section compare the facilities available for UNIX, Linux, and Windows from the different administration command sets, and also show whether we can perform each function by using the IBM MQ Explorer or REST API.

Note: These comparison tables do not apply to IBM MQ for z/OS . For information on how to use MQSC commands and PCF commands on z/OS, see Issuing commands to IBM MQ for z/OS.

These comparison tables do not apply to IBM MQ for IBM i. For information on how to use MQSC commands and PCF commands on IBM i, see Alternative ways of administering IBM MQ for IBM i.
