Administer IBM MQ Internet Pass-Thru

This section describes how to administer IBM MQ Internet Pass-Thru (MQIPT).

Configure MQIPT by making changes to the mqipt.conf configuration file as described in Configure IBM MQ Internet Pass-Thru. To administer MQIPT, including refreshing MQIPT to bring configuration changes into effect without restarting MQIPT, use the mqiptAdmin command. For information about administering MQIPT using the mqiptAdmin command, see Administer MQIPT by using the command line.

  • Start and stop MQIPT
    We can start MQIPT either from the command line, or make it start automatically when the system is started. We can stop MQIPT by using the mqiptAdmin command.
  • Administer MQIPT by using the command line
    We can use the mqiptAdmin command on the command line to administer MQIPT.
  • Making backups
    There are a number of MQIPT files that we should back up as part of our regular backup procedures.
  • Performance tuning
    We can tune the relative performance of each MQIPT route by using a combination of a thread pool and an idle timeout specification.
