IBM MQ for Linux configuration

Before beginning the installation process ensure that we have first created the mqm user ID and the mqm group, and set the password.

Start any channel using the command:

runmqchl -c channel.name

Note:

1. Sample programs are installed in MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/samp, where MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH represents the high-level directory in which IBM MQ is installed.
2. Error logs are stored in /var/mqm/qmgrs/ qmgrname /errors.
3. When we are using the command interpreter runmqsc to enter administration commands, a + at the end of a line indicates that the next line is a continuation. Ensure that there is a space between the last parameter and the continuation character.

Basic configuration

1. Create the queue manager from the UNIX prompt using the command:

   crtmqm -u dlqname -q linux
   

   where:

   linux

   Is the name of the queue manager

   -q

   Indicates that this is to become the default queue manager

   -u dlqname

   Specifies the name of the dead letter queue

   This command creates a queue manager and a set of default objects.

2. Start the queue manager from the UNIX prompt using the command:

   strmqm linux
   

   where linux is the name given to the queue manager when it was created.
