Creating the queue manager and queues for IBM® WebSphere MQ
Create the Queue Manager and Queues for WebSphere® MQ.
About this task
In Windows,
you can use the MQSeries® Explorer,
or follow the directions below.
To create the
Queue Manager and Queues:
Procedure
Log in as the WebSphere MQ user or as a user belonging
to the mqm user group.
Navigate to the directory where WebSphere MQ has been installed. Typically
the location is as follows:
If you are using UNIX - /opt/mqm/bin
If you are using Windows - <WebSphere
MQ Install Directory>\bin
Run the dspmq command
to find out which queue managers, if any, exist.
If a suitable queue manager exists, start it using
the strmqm <qmgr> command. The queue
manager can be stopped by using the endmqm <qmgr> command.
If no queue manager exists, use the crtmqm <MYQMGR>
command to create one.
Run the runmqsc command
to send commands for creating queues. For examples of these commands,
see below:
runmqsc MYQMGR
DEFINE QLOCAL ('getATP');
DEFINE QLOCAL ('createOrder');
END
Note: WebSphere MQ
converts all characters to upper case, which causes errors. To use
mixed case names, enclose them within single quotation marks, for
example, DEFINE QLOCAL ('getATP').
