Queue manager configuration files, qm.ini

 

A queue manager configuration file, qm.ini, contains information relevant to a specific queue manager. There is one queue manager configuration file for each queue manager. The qm.ini file is automatically created when the queue manager with which it is associated is created.

A qm.ini file is held in the root of the directory tree occupied by the queue manager. For example, the path and the name for a configuration file for a queue manager called QMNAME is:

/var/mqm/qmgrs/QMNAME/qm.ini

The queue manager name can be up to 48 characters in length. However, this does not guarantee that the name is valid or unique. Therefore, a directory name is generated based on the queue manager name. This process is known as name transformation. For a description, see Understanding WebSphere MQ file names.

Figure 1 shows how groups of attributes might be arranged in a queue manager configuration file in WebSphere MQ for UNIX systems.
