Create MQ Namelist (CRTMQMNL)
- Where allowed to run
- All environments (*ALL)
- Threadsafe
- Yes
The Create MQ Namelist (CRTMQMNL) command creates a new MQ namelist. A namelist is an MQ object that contains a list of other MQ objects. Typically, namelists are used by applications, for example trigger monitors, where they are used to identify a group of queues. A namelist is maintained independently of applications, therefore we can update it without stopping any of the applications that use it.
