What to do next

What to do next on completion of the Getting started with IBM® MQ scenario.

[AIX][Windows][Linux]For tutorials to help you with installing and upgrading, see A collection of tutorials for installing and upgrading IBM MQ on AIX®, Linux®, and Windows. The tutorials cover:
  • Preparing a host for IBM MQ.
  • Downloading the IBM MQ code.
  • Installing and uninstalling the IBM MQ code, and applying fix packs.
  • Upgrading from one version of IBM MQ to another, and moving a queue manager from one host to another.
There are additional topics for you to view in the IBM MQ product documentation. You might want to look at the following sections:
  • Administering IBM MQ

    IBM MQ provides control commands that you can use. You use two of these commands in this scenario: crtmqm and strmqm. This section also provides a good overview about message queuing.

  • Administering IBM MQ using MQSC commands

    In this scenario, you use the define qlocal('LQ1') command to define a local queue called LQ1. This command is an MQSC command. IBM MQ system administrators use these commands to manage their queue managers. This section introduces the commands and shows you how to use them. The commands are described in detail, in alphabetical order, in the MQSC commands reference section.

  • Configuring a queue manager cluster

    This section describes how to organize, use, and manage queue managers in virtual groups known as clusters. Clustering ensures that each queue manager within a cluster knows about all the other queue managers in the same cluster. Clustering also makes the management of complex queue manager networks simpler.
