    Hello All,

    Can you please tell me which one is right. I have installed IBM MQ 9.4 in RHEL has 2 below scenarios I came across after installation:

    mqm home directory pointing to /var/mqm after MQ installation(mqm created automatically),

    mqm id is created before installation that has home directory  /home/mqm

    Can you please tell me which one is correct.

    Thanks

    both are correct.

    You can always change the home directory for a user. ...

    keep /var/mqm for the queue manager data. 

    keep /home/mqm as the root folder for id mqm.
