The following steps show you how to start and stop a broker.

  1. To start a broker:
    1. Enter the following command on the command line:
      mqsistart WBRK_BROKER

      Substitute your own broker name for WBRK_BROKER.

      The broker and its associated queue manager are started. Check the syslog to ensure that the broker has initialized successfully.
