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:

  1. Open the WebSphere MQ Explorer.
  2. Right-click IBM WebSphere MQ, then select Properties.... The Properties for WebSphere MQ panel is displayed.
  3. Type the name of the default queue manager into the Default queue manager name field.
  4. 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.

See Configuring WebSphere MQ for information about configuration files.
