Starting and stopping a queue manager

 

This chapter describes how to start and stop a queue manager. It discusses the following topics:

• Before you start WebSphere MQ

• Starting a queue manager

• Stopping a queue manager

Starting and stopping a queue manager is relatively straightforward. When a queue manager stops under normal conditions, its last action is to take a termination checkpoint. This checkpoint, and the logs, give the queue manager the information it needs to restart.

This section discusses the START and STOP commands, and contains a brief overview of start up after an abnormal termination has occurred.
