Create a default queue manager

 

You create a default queue manager using the crtmqm command with the -q flag. The following crtmqm command:

• Creates a default queue manager called SATURN.QUEUE.MANAGER

• Creates the default and system objects

• Specifies the names of both a default transmission queue and a dead-letter queue

crtmqm -q -d MY.DEFAULT.XMIT.QUEUE -u SYSTEM.DEAD.LETTER.QUEUE  SATURN.QUEUE.MANAGER

where:

-q

Indicates that this queue manager is the default queue manager.

-d MY.DEFAULT.XMIT.QUEUE

Is the name of the default transmission queue to be used by this queue manager.

WebSphere MQ does not create a default transmission queue for you; you have to define it yourself.

-u SYSTEM.DEAD.LETTER.QUEUE

Is the name of the default dead-letter queue created by WebSphere MQ on installation.

SATURN.QUEUE.MANAGER

Is the name of this queue manager. This must be the last parameter specified on the crtmqm command.

The complete syntax of the crtmqm command is shown in crtmqm (create queue manager).

The system and default objects are listed in System and default objects.

 

For WebSphere MQ for UNIX systems only

We can create the queue manager directory /var/mqm/qmgrs/<qmgr>, even on a separate local file system, before you use the crtmqm command. When you use crtmqm, if the /var/mqm/qmgrs/<qmgr> directory exists, is empty, and is owned by mqm, it is used for the queue manager data. If the directory is not owned by mqm, the creation fails with a First Failure Support Technology™ (FFST™) message. If the directory is not empty, a new directory is created.
