Directory Variable Conventions
Message Queue documentation makes use of three directory variables;
two of which represent environment variables needed by Message Queue. (How
you set the environment variables varies from platform to platform.)
The following table describes the directory variables that might be
found in this book and how they are used. When installed from the IPS (pkg(5)) image distribution, Message Queue is installed in a directory
referred to as mqInstallHome, and some of the directory
variables in Table P–5 reference
this mqInstallHome directory.
Note – In this book, directory variables are shown without platform-specific
environment variable notation or syntax (such as $IMQ_HOME on UNIX). Non-platform-specific path names use UNIX directory
separator (/) notation.

Description
|
|
IMQ_HOME
|
Message Queue home directory, if any:
-
For installations from the IPS image distribution on any platform, IMQ_HOME denotes the directory mqInstallHome/mq, where mqInstallHome is specified when
you install Message Queue.
-
For installations from Solaris SVR4 packages, IMQ_HOME is
unused.
-
For installations from Linux RPM packages, IMQ_HOME is
unused.
|
|
IMQ_VARHOME
|
Directory in which Message Queue temporary or dynamically created configuration
and data files are stored; IMQ_VARHOME can be explicitly set
as an environment variable to point to any directory or will default as described
below:
-
For installations from the IPS image distribution on any platform, IMQ_VARHOME defaults to mqInstallHome/var/mq.
-
For installations from Solaris SVR4 packages, IMQ_VARHOME defaults
to /var/imq.
-
For installations from Linux RPM packages, IMQ_VARHOME defaults
to /var/opt/sun/mq.
|
|
IMQ_JAVAHOME
|
An environment variable that points to the location of the Java runtime
environment (JRE) required by Message Queue executable
files:
-
On Solaris, Linux and Windows, Message Queue looks for the
latest JDK, but you can optionally set the value of IMQ_JAVAHOME to
wherever the preferred JRE resides.
-
On AIX, IMQ_JAVAHOME is set to point to
an existing Java runtime when you perform Message Queue installation.
