Configuring queue managers

You can use a number of methods to configure queue managers on the IBM® MQ Appliance.

Using the IBM MQ Console

You can use the graphical interface that is provided by the IBM MQ Console to create and configure queue managers and associated objects. For details on how to use the IBM MQ Console, see Using the IBM MQ Console.

Using the appliance command line interface

The appliance provides a number of CLI commands for directly configuring queue managers. For details of these commands, see Queue manager commands.

Using the appliance command line interface to work with the qm.ini file

The appliance also provides CLI commands that you can use to edit the qm.ini file. You are most likely to edit the qm.ini file when you move existing queue managers from other platforms to the appliance as part of consolidating your IBM MQ estate. See Editing qm.ini files.
