Changing configuration information on UNIX systems

 

On UNIX platforms, we can change WebSphere MQ configuration attributes within:

• A WebSphere MQ configuration file (mqs.ini) to effect changes for WebSphere MQ on the node as a whole. There is one mqs.ini file for each node.

• A queue manager configuration file (qm.ini) to effect changes for specific queue managers. There is one qm.ini file for each queue manager on the node.

A configuration file (or stanza file) contains one or more stanzas, which are groups of lines in the .ini file that together have a common function or define part of a system, such as log functions, channel functions, and installable services.

Because the WebSphere MQ configuration file is used to locate the data associated with queue managers, a nonexistent or incorrect configuration file can cause some or all MQSC commands to fail. Also, applications cannot connect to a queue manager that is not defined in the WebSphere MQ configuration file.

Any changes you make to a configuration file usually do not take effect until the next time the queue manager is started.

On Linux (x86 platform) systems we can edit configuration information from the WebSphere MQ Explorer.

• The WebSphere MQ configuration file, mqs.ini
  

• Queue manager configuration files, qm.ini
