Configure IBM MQ using IBM MQ Explorer

In the Navigator view, we can use the Properties dialog to configure certain IBM MQ properties that apply to the whole installation. If necessary, we can also configure the properties of individual queue managers.


About this task

We can configure certain properties of IBM MQ that apply to the whole installation of IBM MQ on the computer. We can configure individual queue managers to override the IBM MQ properties if necessary.

To configure IBM MQ, complete the following steps.


Procedure

  1. In the Navigator view, right-click IBM MQ , then click Properties... The Properties dialog opens.
  2. In the Properties dialog, configure any of the following types of property as required:

    • General: Basic IBM MQ properties, such as the default location of queue managers on the computer.
    • Extended: More advanced IBM MQ properties, such as how EBCDIC newline characters are converted to ASCII.
    • Exits: Configure IBM MQ to use code modules (exits) that we have written yourself.
    • Default log settings: Change the location and type of IBM MQ logs.
    • ACPI: Specify how IBM MQ should respond when the computer tries to hibernate.
    • Alert monitor: Configure IBM MQ to alert you when there is a problem, such as a required queue that is missing.


Results

Any changes you make to the IBM MQ properties are made for all queue managers and objects on the computer, unless the individual queue managers are set up differently to override the IBM MQ settings.
