We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

apparently IBM just announced to buy HashiCorp (owner of Terraform), so maybe this should be put back to under review and be re-evaluated at a later stage this year...
As Matt has said, the strategic solution is the JSON-formatted commands described. Defining and maintaining disparate formats, one for each MQSC command/object type, is not a sustainable approach. The common JSON mechanism makes knowledge easily transferrable from other MQ administrative interfaces such as MQSC.
Hello Matthew,
I know that I can do this way, but it's definitely not the way I want to do ... The requirements I have are to use terraform to deploy 'objects' and take advantage of its stateful properties. So I need to manage all objects the same way I manage queues.
I really would like you consider my request and deliver a fully compliant Rest API. I don't imagine it requires you so many efforts to produce it, (as you previously did in older versions). I don't understand why you changed strategy during the last years and chose to do everything as MQSC commands.
Hello,
You can run any MQSC command using the approach described here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.3?topic=adminactionqmgrqmgrnamemqsc-post-json-formatted-command .
This is the recommended approach going forwards.
Regards, Matt.
