Jim, Do you run a trigger monitor? You could set a trigger to clear the queue. Define the process as:
'amqsget YOUR.QUEUE.NAME YOUR.QMGR.NAME' You may want to edit and recompile amqsget to accept truncated messages and set the buffer length to 0. -- T.Rob -----Original Message----- From: Jim Ford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 1:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: "Dummy" Queues One of our servers (Lotus Notes on Win2K, in this case) is having capacity problems. One of our app groups has found several Notes data bases that are populated by agents that get messages from MQ queues. They have decided that these DBs are obsolete, so their "solution" is to simply stop running the agents. Of course, until they change the sending applications those messages will pile up on the queues. So I'm forced to clear the queues every so often. Is there any concept of a dummy queue, similar to "DD DUMMY" in JCL or "/dev/null" in Unix? Or is there any other trick I can use until the application developers get their act together? I've changed the persistence to non-persistent, but the machine and qmgr stay up for months at a time, so that's no help.
