Basic configuration

You can create and start a queue manager from the WebSphere MQ Explorer or from the command prompt.

If you choose the command prompt:

  1. Create the queue manager using the command:
    crtmqm -u dlqname -q winnt
    where:
    winnt
    Is the name of the queue manager
    -q
    Indicates that this is to become the default queue manager
    -u dlqname
    Specifies the name of the undeliverable message queue

    This command creates a queue manager and a set of default objects.

  2. Start the queue manager using the command:
    strmqm winnt

    where winnt is the name given to the queue manager when it was created.
