What to do next
- If required, you can now set this installation to be the primary installation. Enter the
following command at the command prompt:
MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/bin/setmqinst -i -p MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH
where MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH represents the directory where IBM MQ is installed.
You can have only one primary installation on a system. If there is already a primary installation on the system, you must unset it before you can set another installation as the primary installation. For more information, see Changing the primary installation.
- You might want to set up the environment to work with this installation. You can use the setmqenv or crtmqenv command to set various environment variables for a particular installation of IBM MQ . For more information, see setmqenv and crtmqenv.
- If you want to confirm that the installation was successful, you can verify your installation. See Verifying an IBM MQ installation on Linux, for more information.
- Only a user with a UID that is a member of the mqm group can issue administration commands. If you want to enable users to issue administration commands, they must be added to the mqm group. For more information, see Setting up the user and group on Linux and Authority to administer IBM MQ on AIX®, Linux, and Windows systems.
