WebSphere MQ configuration files
You modify WebSphere MQ configuration attributes within:
- A WebSphere MQ configuration file (mqs.ini) to effect changes on the node as a whole. There is one mqs.ini file for each WebSphere MQ installation.
- A queue manager configuration file (qm.ini) to effect changes for specific queue managers. There is one qm.ini file for each queue manager on the node.
Note that .ini files are stream files resident in the IFS.
A configuration file (which can be referred to as a stanza file) contains one or more stanzas, which are simply groups of lines in the .ini file that together have a common function or define part of a system, for example, log functions and channel functions.
Any changes you make to a configuration file do not take effect until the next time the queue manager is started.
