Configuring a queue manager to client connection for IBM MQ

In order to send messages to a IBM MQ queue on another computer, the QManager must be configured for the server and the client computer.

When a new queue is created in IBM MQ, the following default values are assigned to it:

  • MAXDEPTH - Maximum number of messages that a queue can hold. Defaults to 5000.
  • MAXMSGL - Maximum size of a message. Defaults to 4 MB.

These settings may need to be adjusted depending on the load and speed of the third-party application that submits the messages, as opposed to the third-party application that retrieves the messages.
