IFS root file system for MQ server

The integrated file system (IFS) is a part of OS/400® that supports stream input/output and storage management similar to personal computer and UNIX® operating systems, while providing an integrating structure over all information stored in the server. When you install WebSphere® MQ for iSeries™, the directories listed below are created in the IFS root file system.

(Use of the IFS file structure is described in the WebSphere MQ for iSeries, V6.0 System Administration Guide).

ProdData

                    '-- licenses
/QIBM/ProdData/mqm
Subdirectories below this contain all the product data, for example, C++ classes, trace format files, and license files. Data in this directory is deleted and replaced each time the product is installed.
/QIBM/ProdData/mqm/doc
A Command Reference for the CL commands (generated automatically from the source code) is provided in HTML format and installed here.
/QIBM/ProdData/mqm/inc
The header files for compiling your C or C++ programs.
/QIBM/ProdData/mqm/lib
Auxiliary files used by MQ.
/QIBM/ProdData/mqm/samp
Further samples (for the others see MQ library structure).
/QIBM/ProdData/mqm/licenses
License files. The two files for each language are named like LA_xx and LI_xx where xx is the 2 character language identifier for each language supplied.
Also the following directory (part of OS/400 and not created by MQ) receives copies of files:
/QIBM/ProdData/LicenseDoc/5724H72_V6R0M0
License files. The files are named like 5724H72_V6R0M0_xx where xx is the 2 or 5 character language identifier for each language supplied.

UserData

Overview
- QIBM
    '-- UserData
              '-- mqm
                    '-- errors
                    '-- trace
                    '-- qmgrs
                           '-- &system
                           '-- qmgrname1
                           '-- qmgrname2
                           '-- etc
/QIBM/UserData/mqm
Subdirectories below this contain all user data relating to queue managers.

When you install the product, an mqs.ini file is created in directory /QIBM/UserData/mqm/ (unless it is already there from a previous installation).

When you create a queue manager, a qm.ini file is created in the directory /QIBM/UserData/mqm/qmgrs/QMGRNAME/ (where QMGRNAME is the name of the queue manager).

Data in the above directories is retained when the product is deleted.
