Hi,
I am running a Windows qmgr on MQ v9.2.
Its configured with Linear Logging and I am trying to set Automatic Log Management feature that's supported on this version.
As per this link
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.0?topic=logs-managing-log-files
I can configure this on MQ Explorer too but I cannot find any option to do so under the Log section of the Queue Manager Properties page.
(MQ Explorer version 9.1.5 has only options for Media Image scheduling under Log)
Has anyone used this and set it up on MQ Explorer?
Thanks much. |

Logic dictates that IBM MQ Explorer V9.1 will not be aware of attributes introduced to IBM MQ V9.2, or IBM MQ V9.3 for that matter.
I suggest upgrading to IBM MQ Explorer V9.3.

This feature is listed under 9.0 as per the link.
So a later explorer version should support it. |

I don't use MQ Explorer at that version, and do not have any installations of IBM MQ V9.2 to check against, sorry.
But that link states "...You use the LogManagement attribute in the Log stanza of the qm.ini file, or by using the IBM MQ Explorer, to set up automatic management...", which suggests to me that the queue manager may need a restart to pick up the change.
Did you restart the queue manager after making that change?

You cannot change the qm.ini of a queue manager at 9.2 if MQExplorer is at 9.1
To change the qm.ini you need an MQ Exlorer that matches the version of the server (major and minor version: xx.yy) and that does a server connection to the qmgr.

Thank you! I thought I was right the first time - shouldn't have second-guessed myself...

In order to change qm.ini parameters (that are not accessible by ALTER QMGR), does MQ Explorer need to be running on the same system as the queue manager?

Yes it does (we'll not take into account X11 redirection here as the actions are still carried out on the server running the queue manager)

| Thanks ! Its not this clear on the IBM links. Still don't understand why this has to be done on a server version of MQ explorer though ! |

Because it doesn't change the qm.ini file remotely...
