				Yes but you need to change the logs location property on the qmgr.
 
Preferably while it is not running...

				It may only allow you to change it once the qmgr is stopped. If not it is certainly present in the registry.
 
 
Alas you can recreate the qmgr with the  -lp flag

				You should be able to change it via regedit:
 
   
	| Code: | 
   
  
	HKLM\SOFTWARE\IBM\MQSeries\CurrentVersion\Configuration\QueueManager\<qmgr name>\Log\LogPath
 
 | 
   
 
 
Backup everything, make sure the qmgr is down, backup everything, move the directory, update regedit, start the qmgr ... _________________ -wayne |

				| Even after stopping the queue manager didn't allow me to change the path in the queue manager property. Tried wschutz method also and that didn't help either, anyways i have recreated the queue manager with giving the log path to the new drive. Thanks for the help!!! |
