Data in the Application Accounting workspace is retrieved
from the accounting messages in a system queue of the queue manager.
For this workspace to display correct data, you must configure the
queue manager and the IBM MQ Monitoring
Agent.
Before you begin
You must have the required authorities for the ALTER
QMGR command.

requirements of your environment. See
Changing monitoring options for information
about how to change monitoring options.
- If you changed the monitoring file of the IBM MQ Monitoring
Agent, restart
the agent for the changes to take effect.
What to do next
You do not need to restart the queue manager for these changes
to take effect.
