To start a broker, enter the following command on the command
line: mqsistart IB9NODE
Substitute
your own broker name for IB9NODE.
You can
also request that the broker queue manager is started as a Windows service. Refer to Starting a WebSphere MQ queue manager as a Windows service.
The
broker and its associated queue manager are started. The command initiates
the startup of the broker's Windows service.
Check the Application Log in the Event Viewer to ensure
that the broker has initialized successfully. The log contains messages
about verification procedures; if all tests are successful, only an
initial start message is recorded. If one or more verification tests
are unsuccessful, the log also includes messages that provide details
of the tests that have failed. If errors have been reported, review
the messages and take the suggested actions to resolve these problems.
