Example IBM MQ configuration file

The following example shows an mqs.ini file for IBM® i:

Example queue manager configuration file

The following example shows how groups of attributes might be arranged in a queue manager configuration file for IBM i. 

#*******************************************************************#

Log:

CHANNELS:
MaxChannels = 20       ; Maximum number of channels allowed.
                       ; Default is 100.
MaxActiveChannels = 10 ; Maximum number of channels allowed to be
                       ; active at any time. The default is the
                       ; value of MaxChannels.

TCP:                   ; TCP/IP entries.
KeepAlive = Yes        ; Switch KeepAlive on.
SvrSndBuffSize=20000   ; Size in bytes of the TCP/IP send buffer for each
                       ; channel instance. Default is 32768.
SvrRcvBuffSize=20000   ; Size in bytes of the TCP/IP receive buffer for each
                       ; channel instance. Default is 32768.
Connect_Timeout=10000  ; Number of seconds before an attempt to connect the
                       ; channel instance times out. Default is zero (no timeout).

Notes:
  1. IBM MQ on the node uses the default locations for queue managers and the journals.
  2. The queue manager saturn.queue.manager is the default queue manager for the node. The directory for files associated with this queue manager has been automatically transformed into a valid file name for the file system.
  3. Because the IBM MQ configuration file is used to locate the data associated with queue managers, a nonexistent or incorrect configuration file can cause some or all IBM MQ commands to fail. Also, applications cannot connect to a queue manager that is not defined in the IBM MQ configuration file.
