Administer and configuring MQIPT

Administer and configuring MQIPT

Configure MQIPT by making changes to the configuration file mqipt.conf.
Note: You should set secure file permissions on the directory where mqipt.conf is located to prevent unauthorized users seeing the MQIPT password or changing its configuration. We can edit the mqipt.conf configuration file either by using the IPT Administration Client or by using a text editor of your choice and command line commands. Both techniques are described here, with reference information relevant to both:

Use the IPT Administration Client
Administer MQIPT by using the command line
Configuration reference information
Making backups
Performance tuning

Use the IPT Administration Client
We can use the IPT Administration Client to configure and update one or more instances of MQIPT.
Administer MQIPT by using the command line
If you choose not to use the IPT Administration Client, we can use the command line to administer and configure MQIPT.
Configuration reference information
MQIPT uses a configuration file called mqipt.conf to define routes and to control the actions of the MQIPT server.
Making backups
There are a number of MQIPT files that you should back up as part of your regular backup procedures.
Performance tuning
We can tune the relative performance of each route by using a combination of a thread pool and an idle timeout specification.
