The difference being on UNIX the only way to change these things is by manually editing the files. On Windows there are 2 official ways to do it, via the command line or thru a GUI. To me its not an MQ specific thing really. I've always been taught don't touch the registry directly when you have one or more official ways provided by the software to make the changes safely.

I do understand that manually editing the registry can produce the results you need. But how do you know that the one key you think controls the attribute you want to change is in fact the correct one, and/or the only one. Who really knows what a software's official commands do to the registry when you run them. Knowing Windows, there's probably 5 other places something changes when you run the official command.

Agree, but very few of the settings in the Windows Registry and Unix mqs.ini & qm.ini can be initially set or changed by MQ admin commands. crtmqm certainly does.

The same caveats apply to editing ini files or modifying the registry, you'd better know what you are doing, the possibly far reaching effects and how to back it out. Normal every-day MQ administration should not need to change values in these places. I can only think that it could be useful to look at max channels or log file parameters or to check if any seldom used tuning parameters are set.
