Setting up a command environment

The mqsiprofile command places the Version 11.0 commands and libraries at the front of your search path, and can override any combination of PATH, CLASSPATH, or library PATH.

ODBC settings on Linux® systems are found in a text file that is defined by the ODBCINI environment variable. If you are using Linux, set ODBCINI to point to a copy of the sample file install_dir/server/ODBC/unixodbc/odbc.ini, where install_dir is the IBM® App Connect Enterprise installation directory.

On Linux, if you want to use IBM MQ features, you must set the IBM MQ environment where you want the integration server to run; for more information, see Setting the IBM MQ environment on Linux and AIX.

Ensure that you use this environment each time you run an administrative command, or start an integration server.

The following steps explain how to initialize your command environment, either by explicitly running the mqsiprofile command (on Linux) or by starting the command console (on Windows):

• On Windows:
  • Open a command console by searching for IBM Integration Console. If you have multiple installations of IBM App Connect Enterprise, make sure that you are running the IBM App Connect Enterprise Console from the build of the IBM App Connect Enterprise installation that you want to administer.
• On Linux systems: Locate and run the mqsiprofile.sh script in the directory in which you installed the appropriate product.

  . install_dir/server/bin/mqsiprofile

  You must include the period and space for this command to work correctly. Add this command to your login profile if you want it to be run at the start of every session.

  If you use the zsh shell, running the mqsiprofile might cause the terminal session to exit. To resolve this issue, run the unsetopt function_argzero command before you run the mqsiprofile command.

This command also runs any additional scripts that you copied to the common\profiles directory (on Windows) or the common/profiles directory (on Linux systems), so that the environment is initialized for runtime components and other resources, such as databases.
