Directory Variable Conventions
Message Queue makes use of three directory variables; how they are set
varies from platform to platform. Table P–4 describes
these variables and how they are used on the SolarisTM,
Linux, and Windows platforms.
Note – In this manual, these directory variables are shown without platform-specific
environment variable notation or syntax (such as $IMQ_HOME on UNIX). Non-platform-specific pathnames use UNIX directory
separator (/) notation.

Description
|
|
IMQ_HOME
|
Message Queue home directory:
-
Unused on Solaris and Linux; there is no Message Queue home
directory.
-
On Windows, denotes the directory mqInstallHome\mq, where mqInstallHome is
the installation home directory specified when the product was installed (by
default, C:\Program Files\Sun\MessageQueue).
Note –
The information above applies only to the standalone installation
of Message Queue. When Message Queue is installed and run as part of a Sun Java System Application
Server installation, IMQ_HOME is set to appServerInstallDir/imq, where appServerInstallDir is
the Application Server installation directory.
|
|
IMQ_VARHOME
|
Directory in which Message Queue temporary or dynamically created configuration
and data files are stored; can be set as an environment variable to point
to any directory.
-
On Solaris, defaults to /var/imq.
-
On Linux, defaults to /var/opt/sun/mq.
-
On Windows, defaults to IMQ_HOME\var.
Note –
The information above applies only to the standalone installation
of Message Queue. When Message Queue is installed and run as part of a Sun Java System Application
Server installation, IMQ_VARHOME is set to appServerDomainDir/imq, where appServerDomainDir is the domain directory for the domain starting the Message Queue broker.
|
|
IMQ_JAVAHOME
|
Location of the Java runtime environment (JRE) used
by Message Queue executables.
