Create a Queue Manager
crtmqm <QUEUE_MANAGER_NAME>

Start a Queue Manager
strmqm <QUEUE_MANAGER_NAME>

Define and view Queue Manager Configuration using runmqsc

Open mqsc console for Queue Manager
runmqsc <QUEUE_MANAGER_NAME> --> Press Enter

Display list of Local Queue
display QLOCAL(*)
dis QLOCAL(*)
dsp QLOCAL(*)


Display list of Remote Queue
display QREMOTE(*)

Create Local Queue Under Queue Manager
DEFINE QLOCAL(QUEUE_NAME)


Create Local Queue Under Queue Manager overriding default value e.g maxdepth
DEFINE QLOCAL(QUEUE_NAME) MAXDEPTH(100000)

To view the list of local queues created under a Queue Manager:

________________________________________________________________________
To create a BAR file:

['-cleanBuild' parameter can be used to refresh the workspace projects and perform a clean build before adding]
Syntax: mqsicreatebar -data workspace -b barName [-version id] [-esql21] [-p projectName [...]] -o filePath1 [filePath2 [...]]
Command Options:
'-data workspace' workspace location (Mandatory)
'-b barName' bar file name to create or replace
'-version id' appends '_' and id to compiled names in the archive (optional)
'-esql21' compile ESQL for brokers version 2.1 (optional)
'-p projectName' specify projects containing files to link (optional, multiple projects can be specified)
'-o filePath1' workspace relative path (including the project) of deployable files to add to the broker archive. Multiple deployable files can be compiled in a single mqsicreatebar command.

To cancel all outstanding deployments:

mqsideploy -n PATH_TO_CONFIGURATION_MANAGER_FILE -c
To deploy a BAR file:
mqsideploy -n PATH_TO_CONFIGURATION_MANAGER_FILE -b BROKER_NAME -e EXECUTION_GROUP_NAME -a PATH_TO_BAR_FILE_NAME
