Displaying/Change the attributes of a Queue Manager

Displaying the attributes of a Queue Manager

To display the attributes of a Queue Manager (say QMA), use the DIS QMGR MQSC command:

$ runmqsc QMA

And you will see:

: dis qmgr
            1 : dis qmgr
AMQ8408: Display Queue Manager details.
  QMNAME(QMA)                                                 ACCTCONO(DISABLED)
  ACCTINT(1800)                                    ACCTMQI(OFF)
  ACCTQ(OFF)                                        ACTIVREC(MSG)
  ALTDATE(2007-06-19)                          ALTTIME(20.34.04)

Issuing commands to a Queue Manager (runmqsc)

Once we have created a Queue Manager, we will want to perform administrative tasks, such as creating queues, among others. To enable us to communicate with our Queue Manager, we use the RUNMQSC MQ command, which opens the MQSC (MQ Script Center) environment.

After entering the MQSC environment, we can issue one of the following MQSC commands: ALTER, CLEAR, DEFINE, DELETE, DISPLAY, END, PING, REFRESH, RESET, RESOLVE, RESUME, START, STOP, or SUSPEND. Each of these commands has it's own options, which are shown in the following table:

Starting a Queue Manager

Before we can use a Queue Manager, we need to start it, using the STRMQM command. The command to start a Queue Manager called QMA is:

$ strmqm QMA

You should see output similar to the following on your screen:

WebSphere MQ queue manager 'QMA' starting.

2108 log records accessed on queue manager 'QMA' during the log replay phase.

Log replay for queue manager 'QMA' complete.

Transaction manager state recovered for queue manager 'QMA'.

WebSphere MQ queue manager 'QMA' started.

Create/start/stop a Queue Manager

To create a Queue Manager, our userID needs to be part of the mqm group. If we do not have the appropriate authority, then we need to ask our MQ administrator to issue this command.

The command to create a Queue Manager is CRTMQM and there are various parameters available with this command:

crtmqm [-z] [-q] [-c Text] [-d DefXmitQ] [-h MaxHandles]

[-g ApplicationGroup] [-t TrigInt]

[-u DeadQ] [-x MaxUMsgs] [-lp LogPri] [-ls LogSec]

[-lc | -ll] [-lf LogFileSize] [-ld LogPath] QMgrName

WebSphere MQ commands

In this section, we look at the WebSphere MQ commands we need to set up and administer the MQ environment. The following table lists the V6 WebSphere MQ commands:

amqccert	Check certificate chains		mqftrcvc	Receive file on client
amqmdain	WebSphere MQ services control		mqftsnd	Send file from server
amqtcert	Transfer certificates		mqftsndc	Send file from client
crtmqm	Create Queue Manager		rcdmqimg	Record media image
