In Figure 1, the layout is representative of WebSphere® MQ after a queue manager has
been in use for some time. The actual structure that you have depends
on which operations have occurred on the queue manager. Figure 1. Default directory structure (UNIX systems)
after a queue manager has been started
/var/mqm/
The /var/mqm directory contains configuration files and output
directories that apply to a WebSphere MQ installation as a whole,
and not to an individual queue manager.
Table 1. Documented content of the /var/mqm directory
on UNIX systems
/var/mqm/qmgrs/qmname/ contains directories and files for a queue manager.
The directory is locked for exclusive access by the active queue manager
instance. The directory path is directly modifiable in the mqs.ini file, or by using the md option
of the crtmqm command.
Table 2. Documented contents of the /var/mqm/qmgrs/qmname directory on UNIX systems
Other directories used by WebSphere
MQ, such as @ipcc, to be modified only by WebSphere MQ.
/var/mqm/log/qmname/
/var/mqm/log/qmname/ contains the queue manager log files. The directory is locked for
exclusive access by the active queue manager instance. The directory
path is modifiable in the qm.ini file, or by
using the ld option of the crtmqm command.
