Changing queue manager configuration information

The attributes described here modify the configuration of an individual queue manager. They override any settings for IBM® MQ.

On UNIX and Linux® systems, you modify queue manager configuration information by editing the qm.ini configuration file. When you are defining a stanza in qm.ini, you do not need to start each item on a new line. You can use either a semicolon (;) or a hash character (#) to indicate a comment.

On Windows and Linux x86-64 systems, you can modify some configuration information by using the MQ Explorer. However, because there are significant implications to changing installable services and their components, the installable services are read-only in the MQ Explorer. You must therefore make any changes to installable services by using regedit on Windows, and by editing the qm.ini file on UNIX and Linux.
