You can start or stop an individual queue manager, or start or stop all the queue

About this task
Before you can create IBM® MQ objects to be hosted by
a queue manager, and before you can start any of the IBM MQ objects that are hosted by the queue manager, you must
start the queue manager.
In some circumstances, such as if you have changed the attributes of the queue manager, if you
want to apply a fix pack to IBM MQ, or if you want to
stop the queue manager participating in a messaging network, you must stop the queue manager.
