WebSphere MQ for AIX configuration

Notes:
  1. Before beginning the installation process ensure that you have first created the mqm user and group, and set the password.
  2. If installation fails as a result of insufficient space in the file system you can increase the size as follows, using the command smit C sna. (Use df to display the current status of the file system. This will indicate the logical volume that is full.)
    -- Physical and Logical Storage
      -- File Systems
        -- Add / Change / Show / Delete File Systems
          -- Journaled File Systems
            -- Change/Show Characteristics of a Journaled File System
  3. Start any channel using the command:
    runmqchl -c channel.name
  4. Sample programs are installed in /usr/mqm/samp.
  5. Error logs are stored in /var/mqm/qmgrs/qmgrname/errors.
  6. You can start an AIX(R) trace of the WebSphere MQ components using the command:
    trace -a -j30D,30E -o trace.file

    You can stop AIX trace by entering:

    trcstop

    Format the trace report using the command:

    trcrpt -t /usr/mqm/lib/amqtrc.fmt trace.file > trace.report
  7. When you are using the command interpreter runmqsc to enter administration commands, a + at the end of a line indicates that the next line is a continuation. Ensure that there is a space between the last parameter and the continuation character.
