Hi All,
Environment: WebSphere MQ v7.0, Windows XP SP2.

I am new to WebSphere MQ an facing an issue while starting a listener using runmqlsr command.

Instead of using start listener command, I have used runmqlsr command to start a listener and after issuing command, status of listener is stopped. May I know the reason why listener was not started.

Do not use runmqlsr at this version, use a Listener object. Check the following:

1. Whether the queue manager has not already started a listener on the port you have specified in the command.
2. That the port you specified is not in use by another programme, or service.
3. Task Manager to see what runmqlsr processes are running.

NOTE: Duplicate post deleted.

May I know the reason why we should not use runmqlsr in wmq v7.0

1) I have monitored and observed that queue manager was already started and only one listener object was created on that particular queue manager.

2) No other application was using this port

3) Yes, have seen one runmqlsr process was running in task manager , but that process was running for the runmqlsr command issued by me.

May I know whether there is any alternate solution for tracing out this issue.

No worries, sometimes it happens...

Since V6.0, listeners have been objects, and is the best practice way of controlling a listener. It also allows you to end a listener while the queue manager remains in a running state; and it's what runs in the background anyway.

And was that listener running?

Sure? If the queue manager is running, and its listener (as stated by you in 1) above) was running, which runmqslr process do you think was running?

Ensure that all listeners are ended, check no runmqlsr processes are running, then run the command line, check Task Manager for it, then try starting the listener defined in the queue manager, and check Task Manager again.

Yeah, don't start the MQ listener by running a runmqslr command. Let the Queue Manager look after the MQ port listener by using a defined LISTENER type object. It still appears as a runmqlsr process.

Defining it is absurdly simple:
define listener('MY.LISTENER') trptype(TCP) port(1415) control(QMGR)
