Managing IBM WebSphere MQ

After a full system failure and recovery, the queue manager might fail to start, displaying this message:

AMQ7017 Log not available.

This typically indicates that the log file is missing or damaged, or that the log path to the queue manager is inaccessible.

To remedy the problem, create a dummy queue manager and copy its header log file and transaction log files over to the actual queue manager. This allows you to restart the queue manager.
