mqsi_setupdatabase command

Supported platforms

  • UNIX platforms

Purpose

Use the mqsi_setupdatabase command if you are setting up a supported database on UNIX platforms.

This command sets up the required database links and should be run for each database vendor type (DB2, Oracle, or Sybase) used within your WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker environment. This applies to both broker and user (application) databases.

You must complete this procedure before you create the broker database. You are recommended to do this after you have installed your database, but you can complete this process before database installation if you specify the intended database installation directory correctly during this setup.
