Object attributes

The properties of an object are defined by its attributes. Some you can specify, others you can only view.

For example, the maximum message length that a queue can accommodate is defined by its MaxMsgLength attribute; you can specify this attribute when you create a queue. The DefinitionType attribute specifies how the queue was created; you can only display this attribute.

In IBM® MQ, there are two ways of referring to an attribute:

Using its PCF name, for example, MaxMsgLength.
Using its MQSC command name, for example, MAXMSGL.
