Once you have successfully installed the MQSeries Application Messaging

Interface (AMI), you still need to set up the AMI sample script.

1. To set up the AMI sample script (amtsamp.tst) which is located in the

subdirectory of your AMI standard installation you need to change the

MQSeries subdirectory where your AMI was installed, for example

C:\Program Files\MQSeries\amt\samples.

2. To run the sample script on the queue manager named YourQueueManager,

use the following command: runmqsc YourQMgrName < amtsamp.tst

3. Your AMI system is now ready for your publish/subscribe applications.
