Set up the installation

 

To verify your installation first perform this task. From a shell window, use these steps to create a queue manager and a queue:

1. Log in as a user in the mqm group

2. Create a default queue manager called venus.queue.manager by entering the following command:

   crtmqm -q venus.queue.manager

   You will see messages telling you that the queue manager has been created, and that the default WebSphere MQ objects have been created.

3. To start the queue manager, type:

   strmqm

   A message tells you when the queue manager has started.

4. Enable MQSC commands by typing:

   runmqsc

   A message tells you that an MQSC session has started. MQSC has no command prompt.

5. Define a local queue called ORANGE.QUEUE by entering the following command:

   define qlocal (orange.queue)

   A message tells you when the queue has been created.

6. Stop MQSC by typing:

   end

   You will see some messages, followed by the command prompt.

You have now defined:

• A default queue manager called venus.queue.manager

• A queue called ORANGE.QUEUE

Now proceed to Testing the installation to verify your installation.
