Hi docs,
Iam using MQ7.0 version in Windows server 2008 R2. Unintentionally i have deleted the qm.ini file for a queue manager in production, but it is in still up and running state. If we restart the queue manager i know it will not start.
So docs is there any way to recreate or recover the qm.ini file without restarting the Queue manager(no backup taken for the queue manager).
please help ...

strmqm -c might help, if dspmq shows the queue manager.

strmqm -c is primarily for damaged or deleted system objects.
I don't really know if it will help with qm.ini.

Create another QMGR with the same name on another server and copy it over.
It has worked for me in the past.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

The 'another' qmgr would have to be created with the same attributes (logging, for example) as the qmgr now missing its qm.ini file.
I believe that this is the precise issue the OP is facing. He/she doesn't know how the crtmqm command was specified.

If you didn't make a backup (or get this from a system backup) of the qm.ini, then hopefully you recorded the crtmqm command you used to make the Qmgr in the first place. If you did, then just create a temporary Qmgr and copy/modify that qm.ini to fit the one that got deleted.
If you have no record, you can look at your transaction logs to see if they are Linear or Circular and what the LogFilePages size should be (some multiple of 4K pages).
BTW, this belongs in the MQ General Questions topic... |

Being production, surely there is a backup strategy in place for the server, and you could request the Windows sys mgt team to restore the file from backup?

Please be precise. Exactly how did it not work for you?
Were you unable to create another qmgr? Were you unable to copy the new .ini file from new to old?
Did you get some kind of error when starting the old qmgr? If so, what error?
