Directory structure (Windows systems)

Table 1 shows the directories found under the root c:\\IBM\WebSphere MQ\. If you have installed WebSphere MQ for Windows under a different directory, the root is modified appropriately.

WebSphere MQ for Windows directory structure
\bin Contains binary files (commands and DDLs).
\config Contains configuration information.
\conv Contains files for data conversion in folder \table.
\errors Contains the system error log files:

AMQERR01.LOG
AMQERR02.LOG
AMQERR03.LOG
These files contain information related errors that are not associated with a particular queue manager. AMQERR01.LOG contains the most recent error information.
This folder also holds any FFST™ files that are produced.
\exits Contains channel exit programs.
\licenses Contains a folder for each national language. Each folder contains license information.
\log Contains a folder for each queue manager. The following subdirectories and files will exist for each queue manager after you have been using that queue manager for some time.

AMQHLCTL.LFH

Active

This directory contains the log files numbered S0000000.LOG, S0000001.LOG, S00000002.LOG, and so on.

\qmgrs Contains a folder for each queue manager; the contents of these folders are described in Table 2. Also contains the folder \@SYSTEM\errors,
\tivoli Contains the signature file used by Tivoli.
\tools Contains all the WebSphere MQ sample programs. These are described in WebSphere MQ for Windows Quick Beginnings.
\trace Contains all trace files.
\uninst Contains files necessary to uninstall WebSphere MQ.

Table 2 shows the directory structure for each queue manager in the c:\\IBM\WebSphere MQ\qmgrs\ folder. The queue manager might have been transformed as described in Understanding WebSphere MQ file names.

\listener Contains a file for each listener object.
\namelist Contains a file for each WebSphere MQ namelist.
\Plugcomp Directory reserved for use by WebSphere MQ installable services.
\Procdef Contains a file for each WebSphere MQ process definition. Where possible, the file name matches the associated process definition name, but some characters have to be altered. There might be a directory called @MANGLED here containing process definitions with transformed or mangled names.
\Qmanager Contains the following files:

Qmanager
