Managing the Queue Manager and Queue Database
13.3 Specifying the Location of the Queue Database
In an OpenVMS Cluster environment, enter this command on every node in
the cluster.
Note
In an OpenVMS Cluster environment, the directory you specify for the
master file must be available to all nodes in the cluster. If the directory
specification is a concealed logical name, you must define it identically
on all nodes in the cluster; you must also mount the disk on all cluster
member nodes early in system startup.
2. On every node in the OpenVMS Cluster environment, add the command that
you entered in step 1 to SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM.
3. If the location you specify is on a disk other than the node’s system disk, add
a command in SYLOGICALS.COM to mount the disk. SYLOGICALS.COM
is normally used to define logical names; however, it is important that
SYLOGICALS.COM contain the command to mount the disk holding the
master file so that the master file is available before the job controller starts
the queue manager.
For more information about defining systemwide logical names in
SYLOGICALS.COM, see Section 5.2.5.
13.3.2 Specifying the Location of Queue and Journal Files
Specify the location of queue and journal files with the dirspec parameter to the
START/QUEUE/MANAGER command. For example:
$ START/QUEUE/MANAGER DUA2:[SYSQUE]
This command specifies that the queue and journal files are to be located in the
directory DUA2:[SYSQUE].
Note
In an OpenVMS Cluster environment, the directory you specify for the
queue and journal files must be available to all nodes that can run the
queue manager. If the directory specification is a concealed logical name,
you must define it identically on all nodes in the cluster. You must also
mount the disk on all nodes capable of running the queue manager.
The directory location you enter with START/QUEUE/MANAGER is stored in
the queue database master file and becomes the default. Therefore, if you must
restart the queue manager, you do not need to respecify this directory location.
13.4 Displaying Information About Queue Managers
To obtain information about one or more queue managers, enter the SHOW
QUEUE/MANAGERS command.
