Configuring WebSphere MQ

About this task

The WebSphere MQ administrator must do the following tasks:

Procedure

  3. If you are using WebSphere MQ V7.1, publish/subscribe must be enabled. Use the ALTER QMGR command for this queue manager.

    where <InstallDir> is the installation location of Decision Server Events.
