mqipt (start MQIPT)

Purpose

Use the mqipt command to start MQIPT. You can optionally specify a name to be given to the MQIPT instance that is being started.

Required parameters

home_directory

The MQIPT home directory, where the mqipt.conf configuration file is located. The MQIPT home directory can be specified as either an absolute path or relative to the current working directory of the command shell.

Optional parameters

-n mqipt_name

The name to be given to the MQIPT instance that is being started. The name of the MQIPT instance is used to administer local instances of MQIPT with the mqiptAdmin command without needing to use a command port. If this parameter is not specified, the name of the MQIPT home directory is used as the name of the MQIPT instance.

-sf encryption_key_file

The name of a file that contains the password encryption key. The encryption key is used by MQIPT to access encrypted passwords in the mqipt.conf configuration file.
