Making an existing queue manager the default
You can make an existing queue manager the default queue manager. The way
you do this depends on the platform you are using.
Windows and WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86 platform) systems
On Windows and WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86 platform) systems, you can make an existing queue
manager the default queue manager as follows:
- Open the WebSphere MQ Explorer.
- Right-click IBM WebSphere MQ, then select Properties.... The Properties for WebSphere MQ panel is displayed.
- Type the name of the default queue manager into the Default queue manager
name field.
- Click OK.
UNIX systems
When you create a default queue manager, its name is inserted in the Name attribute of the DefaultQueueManager stanza in the WebSphere MQ configuration
file (mqs.ini). The stanza and its contents are automatically created if they
do not exist.
- To make an existing queue manager the default, change the queue manager
name on the Name attribute to the name of the new default queue
manager. You can do this manually, using a text editor.
- If you do not have a default queue manager on the node, and you want to
make an existing queue manager the default, create the DefaultQueueManager stanza with the required name yourself.
- If you accidentally make another queue manager the default and want to
revert to the original default queue manager, edit the DefaultQueueManager stanza in mqs.ini, replacing the unwanted default queue manager with
that of the one you want.
