About this task
When you create a default queue manager, its name is inserted
in the Name
attribute of the DefaultQueueManager
stanza
in the WebSphere MQ configuration
file (mqs.ini). The stanza and its contents are automatically created
if they do not exist.
Procedure
- To make an existing queue manager the default, change the
queue manager name on the
Name
attribute to the name of the new default queue manager. You can do this manually, using a text editor. - If you do not have a default queue manager on the node,
and you want to make an existing queue manager the default, create
the
DefaultQueueManager
stanza with the required name yourself. - If you accidentally make another queue manager the default
and want to revert to the original default queue manager, edit the
DefaultQueueManager
stanza in mqs.ini, replacing the unwanted default queue manager with that of the one you want.
