Setting up the installation

To verify your installation you must first perform this task. From a shell window, use these steps to create a queue manager and a queue:
  1. Log in as a user in the mqm group
  2. Create a default queue manager called venus.queue.manager by entering the following command:
    crtmqm -q venus.queue.manager
    You will see messages telling you that the queue manager has been created, and that the default WebSphere® MQ objects have been created.
  3. To start the queue manager, type:
    strmqm
    A message tells you when the queue manager has started.
  4. Enable MQSC commands by typing:
    runmqsc
    A message tells you that an MQSC session has started. MQSC has no command prompt.
  5. Define a local queue called ORANGE.QUEUE by entering the following command:
    define qlocal (orange.queue)
    A message tells you when the queue has been created.
  6. Stop MQSC by typing:
    end
    You will see some messages, followed by the command prompt.
You have now defined: Now proceed to Testing the installation to verify your installation.
