Object attributes
The properties of an object are defined by its attributes. Some you can specify, others you can only view.
For example, the maximum message length that a queue can accommodate
is defined by its MaxMsgLength
attribute;
you can specify this attribute when you create a queue. The DefinitionType
attribute
specifies how the queue was created; you can only display this attribute.
In WebSphere® MQ, there are two ways of referring
to an attribute:
- Using its PCF name, for example,
MaxMsgLength
. - Using its MQSC command name, for example, MAXMSGL.
This guide mainly describes how to specify attributes using MQSC commands, and so it refers to most attributes using their MQSC command names, rather than their PCF names.
