Change IBM MQ and queue manager configuration information

We can change the behavior of IBM MQ or an individual queue manager to suit the needs of your installation.

About this task

We can change IBM MQ configuration information by changing the values specified on a set of configuration attributes (or parameters) that govern IBM MQ.

You change attribute information by editing the IBM MQ configuration files. We can edit configuration files either automatically by using commands that change the configuration of queue managers on the node or manually by using a standard text editor. For more information, see Editing configuration files.

On Windows and Linux (x86 and x86-64 platforms), we can also edit the IBM MQ configuration files by using the IBM MQ Explorer.

On Windows systems we can also use amqmdain to change configuration information, as described in amqmdain.
