To Start a Broker

1. In a terminal window, change to the directory containing Message Queue executables (see the table below).

   Platform	Location
   Solaris	/usr/bin/
   Linux	/opt/sun/mq/bin/
   Windows	IMQ_HOME\bin\

2. Run the broker startup command (imqbrokerd) as follows:

   imqbrokerd -tty

   The -tty option causes all logged messages to be displayed to the terminal console (in addition to the log file). The broker will start and display a few messages before displaying the message

   imqbroker@host:7676 ready

   The broker is now ready and available for clients to use.
