Authority to use WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition commands

Your user ID must be a member of the mqm group if you want to issue WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition commands, unless you have already configured WebSphere MQ to allow users who are not in the mqm group to issue commands. For more information, see Authority to administer WebSphere MQ. If you are using IBM® i, start with the following topic: WebSphere MQ authorities.

A subset of the WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition commands can be issued using the WebSphere MQ Explorer.

Issuing commands from the IBM i platform

Note the following environment-specific information for issuing commands on IBM i:
  • You can start WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition commands using the Qshell interpreter. To start the Qshell interpreter, issue the STRQSH command from an IBM i system command line.
  • When you run commands in the Qshell environment, command names are not case-sensitive: You can enter them in uppercase, lowercase, or a combination of uppercase and lowercase. However, arguments to control commands (such as queue names) and parameters (such as -m for queue manager name) are case-sensitive.
