Hi,
As we have mqs.ini and qm.ini in the AIX system in the location /var/mqm/ and /var/mqm/qmgrs/QMGR/ respectively. Similarly we would be having on windows. What are those files and where are they (absolute path) ?
I have checked the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in regedit, under SOFTWARE>MQSERIES>VERSION>
there are folder under MQSERIES which tell about the queue manager configuration etc.
Thanks in advance.

Somewhere in the registry.

Can't say I've ever looked myself. No need; but then never bothered much with the ini files on Unix either.

I was checking Mr. Google too for this question. I dont get any satisfactory reply of that search though.
But ya qm.ini was important for me while making the changes to it, on aix.
I was eager to know that, if I would want to change the default queue manager at node level in windows then how would I do that?
Another thing is how would I do all those operations/changes in windows MQ files as we do in .ini files in aix?

I use MQExplorer as recommended in the documentation. On the rare occassions I have a default queue manager, and don't specify it as such when it's created. If I'm honest, I use the Explorer to remove the default queue manager on Windows more often than I create one!

How many things do you do to the ini files in AIX? The only real thing you do is change log size, and that's technically a hack.

| Keepalive=Yes in a good thing to put in the mqs.ini file - also Maxchannels=1000 or more. |

LogBufferPages, QMErrorLogSize, API Exits, SuppressMessages, MaxActiveChannels, KeepAlive....
Vitor! Lots of good stuff you are missing!

I agree with you, when it comes to make the changes in the ini for log files count and their size, its not recommended.
Apart from mqs.ini (change the default queue manager) we can make changes to the qm.ini on aix platform.
I did some of the changes in qm.ini
CHANNELS:
MaxChannels=3000
MaxActiveChannels=3000
AdoptNewMCA=ALL
AdoptNewMCATimeout=60
AdoptNewMCACheck=ALL
TCP: ; TCP/IP entries.
ListenerBacklog=500
KeepAlive=Yes ; Switch KeepAlive on
As To reset the values of MaxChannels and MaxActiveChannels. Even I did changes for rest of the 3 parameters under the CHANNELS section.
Under TCP section KeepAlive can also be modified.

These all are good that can be done on aix (if required)... but the point of discussion is how to do all this on windows mq file(s)? And actually where are those located ?

Like already's been said, there are no files like this on Windows. Use MQExplorer or the amqmdain command to view or alter the values you need. DO NOT go mucking around in the registry.

Mucking around in the MQ section of the Windows Registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\MQSeries\CurrentVersion) is equivalent to mucking around (or just looking) in mqs.ini and qm.ini.

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.
