How to configure WebSphere MQ for API exits

 

You configure WebSphere MQ to enable API exits either by:

• Using WebSphere MQ Explorer to add the IBM WebSphere MQ properties or the queue manager property, or

• Changing the Windows registry, or

• By editing the WebSphere MQ configuration files, mqs.ini and qm.ini, and adding new stanzas that:

  • Name the API exit

  • Identify the module and entry point of the API exit code to run

  • Optionally pass data with the exit

  • Identify the sequence of each exit in relation to other exits

For detailed information on this configuration, see the WebSphere MQ System Administration Guide. For a description of how API exits run, see What happens when an API exit runs?.
