Starting a Broker (Sun Java System Message Queue 4.3 Administration Guide)

Sun Java System Message Queue 4.3 Administration Guide

Starting a Broker

You cannot start a broker using the Administration Console. Instead, use one of the following methods:

On Solaris, enter the command
```
   /usr/bin/imqbrokerd
```
On Linux, enter the command
```
   /opt/sun/mq/bin/imqbrokerd
```
On Windows, navigate to IMQ_HOME\bin and run the imqbrokerd executable.

For example, use the Windows Explorer to navigate to IMQ_HOME\bin and then double-click imqbrokerd.

If you used the Windows Start menu, the command window will appear, indicating that the broker is ready by displaying lines like the following:

   Loading persistent data...
   Broker “imqbroker@stan:7676 ready.

Reactivate the Administration Console window. You are now ready to add the broker to the Console and connect to it. You do not have to start the broker before adding a reference to it in the Administration Console, but you must start it before you can connect to it.
