If the restore found files under /var/mqm/qmgrs<yourqmgr> but <yourqmgr> was not listed in the mqs.ini file, then your MQ installation got out of synch at some point. Not sure what to suggest at this point. You might want to try renaming /var/mqm/qmgrs<yourqmgr> to something else and using crtmqm to create a new <yourqmgr>. Then copy the saved files over top of the new /var/mqm/qmgrs<yourqmgr>. This will make the correct entries in the mqs.ini file for you and then restore the old QMgr structure. Alternatively, you could edit the mqs.ini file directly to add the entries or search your older archives for an intact installation.
Good luck! -- T.Rob -----Original Message----- From: Prithwiraj Basu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 4:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: queue manager does not exist error That's odd because after doing the restore on the WHOLE tree (i.e. /var/mqm) my /var/mqm/mqs.ini does not have any queue manager names entries in it. In fact here are the contents (pasted below). Is this ini file in order? Thanks.

Ideally, the "correct" file will be from the same date as the /var/mqm/qmgrs/<yourqmgr> tree that was previously restored. My recommendation to restore all of /var/mqm at once was to insure that all files would be in synch. Restoring just mqs.ini will probably work if your MQ environment is fairly stable. -- T.Rob -----Original Message----- From: Prithwiraj Basu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 2:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: queue manager does not exist error Thanks for the responses. If the correct /var/mqm/mqs.ini is restored, then will there be an entry in it with my queue manager name (i.e. the one that is missing)? Thanks. Prits "Wyatt, T.

If so, they would have missed updating the /var/mqm/mqs.ini file which contains info for the missing QMgr. You may want to get them to restore all of /var/mqm if this is the case.

It has been a while since anyone has been playing around with this application. At the time when I did strmqm queue.manager.name, I got a AMQ8118:Queue Manager does not exist error. Then I saw that the queue manager could not be found in /var/mqm/qmgrs. (It only had @SYSTEM listed). Assuming that someone had erroneously blown away the queue manager, I had IT restore the queue manager and it again exists at /var/mqm/qmgrs. However upon doing strmqm I am still getting the queue manager does not exist error. Is there anything else I need to do for the queue manager to be started? I really do not want to go through the whole MQSeries objects setup procedure if I can help it. Thanks in advance.
