Before you Start

PCF Commands

MQSeries programmable command format (PCF) commands allow you to program administration tasks into an administration program. For a complete description of the PCF commands and how to use them, see the MQSeries Programmable System Management book.

Working with MQSeries

If you are new to MQSeries for AS/400, you are recommended to set up a test system. Then you can verify that you have installed the product correctly and perform some basic MQSeries operations.

To set up a test system you need to create a queue manager and a local queue. As an introduction to MQSeries for AS/400, create these objects with CL commands from the command line, and work through the AS/400 panels.
