Changing the configuration information

 

The WebSphere MQ configuration file, mqs.ini, contains information relevant to all the queue managers on a particular node. We can find it in the /var/mqm directory.

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, 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

Before editing a configuration file, back it up so that you have a copy we can revert to if the need arises.

We can edit configuration files either:

• Automatically, using commands that change the configuration of queue managers on the node

• Manually, using a standard text editor

If you set an incorrect value on a configuration file attribute, the value is ignored and an operator message is issued to indicate the problem. (The effect is the same as missing out the attribute entirely.)
