The alter qlocal command can be used to alter a local queue. In this example, the queue named QUEUE01 in the queue manage named MANAGER01 is updated to have a description of "Hello World".

AVOID TROUBLE

When a value is a string and contains one or more white spaces, the value must be wrapped in quotes. In this example, Hello World is wrapped in quotes.

echo "alter qlocal (QUEUE01) DESCR ('Hello World')" | runmqsc MANAGER01

AVOID TROUBLE

When a value is an integer, the value must NOT be wrapped in quotes. In this example, 100 is not wrapped in quotes.

echo "alter qlocal (QUEUE01) MAXDEPTH (100)" | runmqsc MANAGER01

The display queue or display qlocal commands can be used to view the configuration of the queue, like this.

echo "display queue (QUEUE01) DESCR" | runmqsc MANAGER01

Following is an example of what will be displayed.

QUEUE(queue01)             TYPE(QLOCAL)
DESCR (Hello World)

Alter multiple fields

In this example, both DESCR and MAXDEPTH are updated simultaneously.

echo "alter qlocal (QUEUE01) DESCR ('Hello World') MAXDEPTH (100)" | runmqsc MANAGER01
