Remote administration from a local queue manager
We can administer a remote queue manager from a local queue manager by using MQSC and PCF commands.
Preparing the queues and channels is essentially the same for both MQSC and PCF commands. In this section, the examples show MQSC commands, because they are easier to understand. For more information about writing administration programs using PCF commands, see Use IBM MQ Programmable Command Formats.
You send MQSC commands to a remote queue manager either interactively or from a text file containing the commands. The remote queue manager might be on the same machine or, more typically, on a different machine. We can remotely administer queue managers in other IBM MQ environments, including:
UNIX
- Linux
- Windows
- IBM i
- z/OS®
To implement remote administration, you must create specific objects. Unless we have specialized requirements, the default values, for example, for maximum message length, are sufficient.
