I assume you are looking to create some sort of monitoring app that will alert you if queue X has not received a message in N minutes. If this is the case, you might look into the RESET QSTATS command (See the Command Reference for details). If you create a program that sends a RESET QSTATS (queue-name) command every N minutes, it will tell you how many messages have been enqueued and dequeued since the last RESET command was sent. If the enqueued count is 0, you have not received any messages in the interval.
Hope this helps. - Steve -----Original Message----- From: MQSeries List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of I Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 5:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: arrival time of last message It's odd that server folk are less vigilant than the mainframe folk. You'd think the maintainers of the less reliable and proven platform would *more* vigilant if anything, but I guess one can never tell. But back to the point... do they have channel triggering configured correctly? I've encountered a few situations where it hasn't been, and channels have timed out, never to be automatically restarted.

We are having an issue with some servers that send messages to MQ on the mainframe. MQ, as always, is working perfectly....but evey now and then one of the servers just stops sending messages. The server folks are less vigilant than the mainframe guys. Usually we see that a server is no longer sending messages beause because the CICS transactions triggered as a result of the arrival of a message stops. So..........I am looking for a method that I can employ to query MQ as to the last time a message arrived on a queue. The messages are not persistent. When CICS executes the triggered transaction, the message goes away. Is there a time stamp some placein the queue stats that a program can access that will give a dte/time stamp of the last message that hit the queue?
