Starting and stopping a queue manager

An introduction to stopping and starting a queue manager with links to further information.

We can start and stop a queue manager by using commands:

• To start a queue manager, use the strmqm command.
• To stop a queue manager, use the endmqm command, which provides three ways to stop a queue manager: a controlled, or quiesced, shutdown, an immediate shutdown, and a preemptive shutdown.

Alternatively, on Windows and Linux , we can use the IBM MQ Explorer to start and stop a queue manager.

On Windows we can configure a queue manager to start automatically when the system starts using the IBM MQ Explorer.
