Use WebSphere MQ objects

The MQI uses the following types of object:

  • Queue managers
  • Queues
  • Namelists
  • Process definitions
  • Channels
  • Storage classes (WebSphere MQ for z/OS only)
  • AUTHINFO objects

These objects, and queue-sharing groups (which are only supported on WebSphere MQ for z/OS and which are not strictly objects), are discussed in Chapter 4, WebSphere MQ objects.

With the exception of dynamic queues, these objects must be defined to the queue manager before you can work with them.

You define objects using:

You can also display or alter the attributes of objects, or delete the objects.

Alternatively, for sequences of WebSphere MQ for z/OS commands that you use regularly, you can write administration programs that create messages containing commands and that put these messages on the system-command input queue. The queue manager processes the messages on this queue in the same way that it processes commands entered from the command line or from the operations and control panels. This technique is described in WebSphere MQ for z/OS System Administration Guide, and demonstrated in the Mail Manager sample application delivered with WebSphere MQ for z/OS.

For sequences of WebSphere MQ for iSeries commands you use regularly you can write CL programs.

For sequences of MQSeries(R) or WebSphere MQ commands on OS/2, Windows systems, and UNIX systems, you can use the MQSC facility to run a series of commands held in a file. For information on how to do this, see WebSphere MQ Script (MQSC) Command Reference.
