Starting a WebSphere MQ queue manager as a Windows service

On Windows, you can start a WebSphere® MQ queue manager as a Windows service to ensure the queue manager starts when you start your other components.

Before you start:

You must complete the following task:
  • Stop the queue manager for the Broker component by using the endmqm command. If you prefer, you can use the WebSphere MQ Explorer.

When you start a broker, the mqsistart command starts the associated queue manager if it is not already running.

When you start a broker on Windows, the broker starts as a service on Windows, but the associated queue manager does not.

You can change the properties of the queue manager service to set the startup type to automatic to enable the queue manager to run as a Windows service.

This change ensures that the operation of the queue manager is independent of the logged-on status of the user that starts the broker.

To start a WebSphere MQ queue manager as a Windows service:

  1. Click Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere MQ > WebSphere MQ Explorer.
  2. In the left pane, right-click the queue manager and select Properties. The Properties dialog opens. The General properties are displayed.
  3. Find the Startup property and set it to Automatic.
  4. Click OK. The Properties dialog closes and the change is applied.
  5. Restart the queue manager for the broker by using the strmqm command or WebSphere MQ Explorer. The changes to the queue manager's startup type take effect when you restart Windows.
  6. Start the broker by using the mqsistart command.
