strmqweb (start mqweb server)

Use the strmqweb command to start the mqweb server that is used to support the IBM® MQ Console and REST API.

Usage notes

[Linux] Before you issue the strmqweb command in a stand-alone IBM MQ Web Server installation, you must set the MQ_OVERRIDE_DATA_PATH environment variable to the IBM MQ Web Server data directory.

If the mqweb server is part of an IBM MQ installation, you must start the mqweb server as a privileged user.
If the mqweb server is part of a stand-alone IBM MQ Web Server installation, you must start the mqweb server as a user that has read and write access to the IBM MQ Web Server data directory.

[Linux] Before you start the mqweb server, you must accept the IBM MQ license. On Linux®, you can accept the license after installation. For more information, see mqlicense (accept license after installation).

Syntax

Optional parameters

--clean: Cleans all persistent cached information that is related to the specified server instance, which includes OSGi resolver metadata and persistent OSGi bundle data. If you use this option, the server will be required to recompute any cached data at the next startup, which might take more time than a restart that can reuse cached data.
Note: This option is not necessary for normal operation. IBM service might request that you use this option when providing an interim fix, or if there is a suspected problem with the cached data.
