IFS queue manager name transformation

In WebSphere MQ, we can give a queue manager a name containing up to 48 characters.

For example, we can name a queue manager

QUEUE/MANAGER/ACCOUNTING/SERVICES. In the same way that a library is created for each queue manager, each queue manager is also represented by a file. Because of variant codepoints in EBCDIC, there are limitations to the characters that can be used in the name. As a result, the names of IFS files representing objects are automatically transformed to meet the requirements of the file system.

Using the example of a queue manager with the name

queue/manager, transforming the character

/ to &, and assuming the default prefix, the queue manager name in WebSphere MQ for iSeries becomes

/QIBM/UserData/mqm/qmgrs/queue&manager.
