Start/Stop/Delete a Queue Manager

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
