Administering

You can administer the IBM® MQ Appliance by using the IBM MQ Appliance web UI or by using the command line.

To use the command line to enter IBM MQ commands, you must enter the IBM MQ administration mode. After you enter the IBM MQ administration mode, you can use the control commands and appliance commands that are listed in the Command reference. You can enter the IBM MQ administration mode by using the mqcli command. You can exit the IBM MQ administration mode by using the command exit.

The following example shows how to enter the IBM MQ administration mode and create a queue manager:

mqa# mqcli  
mqa(mqcli)# crtmqm QM1 
MQ Appliance queue manager created. Creating or replacing default objects for queue manager 'QM1'.
Default objects statistics : 83 created. 0 replaced. 0 failed. Completing setup.
Setup completed.
mqa(mqcli)# exit
mqa#
