Attention

  • There should be no queue managers running when you install maintenance on WebSphere MQ. End each queue manager that is running by issuing the command:
      endmqm -i QMgrName

    and check that the queue manager has stopped running before you try to install the maintenance package.

  • There should be no channel listeners running when you install maintenance on WebSphere MQ. To end all running listener processes for a queue manager:
    1. Check that the queue manager is stopped.
    2. End all listener processes by issuing the command:
        endmqlsr -m QMgrName
  • You must stop the WebSphere MQ service. To do this, right-click the WebSphere MQ icon in the task bar, then click Stop WebSphere MQ.
