Running Workflows

Before you run a WebSphere MQ workflow, make sure the WebSphere MQ listener is running. This enables the PowerCenter Integration Service to connect to a queue manager to read and write WebSphere MQ messages.

To start the WebSphere MQ listener, enter the following command from the command line:

runmqlsr -m <queue_manager_name> -t TCP -p <port_number> &

The following table describes the parameters for the runmqlsr command:

Option	Argument	Description
-m	queue manager name	Required. Name of the queue manager you want to connect to.
-t	protocol type	Required. Enter TCP for the protocol type.
-p	port number	Optional. Port number of the queue manager. Default is 1414. If the queue manager uses 1414, you can omit this option.
&	-	Optional. Enter an ampersand character (&) to run the process in the background.
