Hi All,

Would anybody tell me what would be a good location to store all the MQ logs. Can we store it on /var or Do we need a seperate file system like /mqlogs to store them?....Also, if I would need a seperate file system, how would I tell MQ to store the logs in the new location?.

Thanks.

Many users prefer a seperate FS for the logs for a variety of system's management reasons (like being able to use a seperate device, space mgmt, etc).

The path to the log is controlled by mqs.ini at qmgr creation time and qm.ini at execution time.

Also, flags can be specified on crtmqm to point to the path where you want the logfiles to be

Thanks guys for your replies...It makes more sense to me now...

On a side note,Where do you think I can find the syntax of the flag that can be used to specify the log location?.

Thanks.

System Administration Guide, Chapter 17 "The control commands" under "crtmqm" - oddly enough.

btw...if you code the defaultLogLocation in the mqs.ini file, you don't need to remember to specify "-ld" on the crtmqm command....
