Examples of creating a local queue

To create a local queue from the command line, use:

1. The Create MQM Queue (CRTMQMQ) command

2. The Work with MQM Queues (WRKMQMQ) command, followed by F6

 

Creating a local queue using the CRTMQMQ command

1. Type CRTMQMQ on the command line and press the

   F4 key.

2. On the Create MQM Queue panel, type the name of the queue that you want to create in the

   Queue name field.

   To specify a mixed case name, you enclose the name in apostrophes.

3. Type

   *LCL in the Queue type field.

4. Specify a queue manager name, unless you are using the default queue manager, and press the

   Enter key. Further settings for a local queue are displayed (see Figure Figure 1) with the fields containing the default values. We can overtype any of these values with a new value.

   Scroll forward to see further fields. The options used for clusters are at the end of the list of options.

5. When you have changed any values, press the

   Enter key to create the queue.

Creating a local queue using the WRKMQMQ command

1. Type WRKMQMQ on the command line.

   F4.

   The prompt panel is useful to reduce the number of queues displayed, by specifying a generic queue name or queue type.

   Enter key and Figure Figure 2 is displayed.
