Appendix C. Directory structure (UNIX systems)

Figure 41 shows the general layout of the data and log directories associated with a specific queue manager. The directories shown apply to the default installation. If you change this, the locations of the files and directories are modified accordingly. For information about the location of the product files, see one of the following:

In Figure 41, the layout is representative of WebSphere MQ after a queue manager has been in use for some time. The actual structure that you have depends on which operations have occurred on the queue manager.
