Queue managers

There is one QueueManager stanza for every queue manager. Use the stanza to specify the location of the queue manager directory.

On Windows, UNIX and Linux systems, there is one QueueManager stanza for every queue manager. These attributes specify the queue manager name, and the name of the directory containing the files associated with that queue manager. The name of the directory is based on the queue manager name, but is transformed if the queue manager name is not a valid file name. See, Understanding IBM MQ file names for more information about name transformation.

Name= queue_manager_name

The name of the queue manager.

Prefix= prefix

Where the queue manager files are stored. By default, this value is the same as the value specified on the DefaultPrefix attribute of the All Queue Managers information.

Directory= name

The name of the subdirectory under the prefix\QMGRS directory where the queue manager files are stored. This name is based on the queue manager name, but can be transformed if there is a duplicate name or if the queue manager name is not a valid file name.

DataPath= path

An explicit data path provided when the queue manager was created, this overrides Prefix and Directory as the path to the queue manager data.

InstallationName= name

The name of the IBM MQ installation associated with this queue manager. Commands from this installation must be used when interacting with this queue manager. If no InstallationName value is present, the queue manager is associated with an installation of the product earlier than Version 7.1.
