Restarting a queue manager

You can use the strmqm command to restart a queue manager, or on IBM® MQ for Windows and IBM MQ for Linux® x86-64 systems, restart a queue manager from IBM MQ Explorer.

To restart a queue manager, type: 

strmqm saturn.queue.manager
On IBM MQ for Windows and IBM MQ for Linux x86-64 systems, you can restart a queue manager in the same way as starting it, as follows:
  1. Open the IBM MQ Explorer.
  2. Select the queue manager from the Navigator View.
  3. Click Start . The queue manager restarts.

If the queue manager restart takes more than a few seconds IBM MQ issues information messages intermittently detailing the start-up progress.
