See:

• mqs.ini file
• qm.ini file
• mqclient.ini file

for a list of the possible stanzas in each configuration file.

An mqs.ini file can contain the following stanzas:

• AllQueueManagers
• DefaultQueueManager
• ExitProperties
• LogDefaults

In addition, there is one QueueManager stanza for each queue manager.

qm.ini file

Example queue manager configuration file for IBM MQ for UNIX and Linux systems shows an example qm.ini file.

A qm.ini file can contain the following stanzas:

• ExitPath
• Log
• QMErrorLog
• QueueManager
• Security
• Service and ServiceComponentTo configure InstallableServices on:
  • UNIX and Linux platforms, use the Service and ServiceComponent stanzas.
  • Windows, use regedit.

• Connection for DefaultBindTypeAttention: We must create a Connection stanza if we need one.
• SSL and TLS
• TCP, LU62, and NETBIOS
• XAResourceManager

In addition, we can change the:

• AccessMode (Windows only)
• RestrictedMode (UNIX and Linux systems only)

by using the crtmqm command.

mqclient.ini file

An mqclient.ini file can contain the following stanzas:

• CHANNELS
• ClientExitPath
• LU62, NETBIOS, and SPX
• MessageBuffer
• SSL
• TCP

In addition, you might need a PreConnect stanza to configure a preconnect exit.
