A Portal to a Portal: It's been a while, tinkering with IBM MQ and scripting ...

I'd been asked about scripting access to IBM MQ ... as it's been a while since last I worked with it, I decided to install MQ 9 onto a Linux VM, and have a quick play .....

So my VM is running Ubuntu 18.04.4, and, therefore, I downloaded the appropriate MQ 9.2 image: -

IBM_MQ_9.2.0_UBUNTU_X86-64.tar.gz

Having accepted the license: -

./mqlicense.sh accept

and installed the binaries: -

dpkg --list | grep IBM

I switched to the mqm user: -

su - mqm

and created and started a Queue Manager: -

crtmqm -u SYSTEM.DEAD.LETTER.QUEUE QM_MDB

strmqm QM_MDB

A quick bit of validation: -
