Command summary for IBM MQ for z/OS

A summary of the main MQSC and PCF commands, and of the sources from which you can run MQSC commands on IBM® MQ for z/OS®.

Table 1 maps which MQSC and PCF commands can be used on IBM MQ for z/OS to alter, define, delete and display each IBM MQ object.

Table 1. Summary of the main MQSC and PCF commands by object type
MQSC command	ALTER	DEFINE	DISPLAY	DELETE
PCF command	Change	Create/Copy	Inquire	Delete
AUTHINFO	X	X	X	X
CFSTATUS			X
CFSTRUCT	X	X	X	X
CHANNEL	X	X	X	X
CHSTATUS			X
NAMELIST	X	X	X	X
PROCESS	X	X	X	X
QALIAS	M	M	M	M
QCLUSTER			M

Key to table symbols:

M = MQSC only
P = PCF only
X = both

There are many other MQSC and PCF commands which allow you to manage other IBM MQ resources, and carry out other actions in addition to those summarized in Table 1.

Table 2 shows every MQSC command, and where each command can be issued from.

CSQINP1 initialization input data set
CSQINP2 initialization input data set
z/OS console (or equivalent)
SYSTEM.COMMAND.INPUT queue and command server (from applications, CSQUTIL, or the CSQINPX initialization input data set)
