IBM Tivoli Interview Question:

Give the steps to start the Instance of MQ agents?

Submitted by: Administrator

Suppose we got Offline MQ agent as :

MS_Offline:QMEIBP1::MQ

Check the agent status first :

bash-2.04$ ./cinfo -r

CNDAEAI2APZP04_svc1 mq 295460 BREIBP2
CNDAEAI2APZP04_svc1 mq 238186 QMEIBP2
bash-2.04$

No MQ instance for QMEIBP1 running as can see for QMEIBP2 running above.

Hence , we will try to start the QMEIBP1 instance first with below command

bash-2.04$ ./itmcmd agent -o QMEIBP1 start mq
Starting WebSphere MQ Monitoring Agent ...
WebSphere MQ Monitoring Agent started
bash-2.04$

bash-2.04$ ./cinfo -r
