QPASA from www.mqsoftware.com can monitor this attribute (although I never actually used it myself).

Hi Taras, I don't know of any way to get the queue manager itself to issue a warning that the page set is almost full. Some (probably most, maybe all) of the MQ monitoring products on the market will do this. In my opinion a better approach is to set MAXDEPTH on the queues to a reasonable (not the default, for sure) value, and then use queue depth high alerts to anticipate when a queue is reaching its limit. If a queue becomes full, only that queue is impacted, whereas if a page set becomes full all the queues using it are impacted. If limiting queue size does not seem to be practical, then you might want to either look at a monitor, or you could try to monitor usage of pagesets on your own either by using the output of the display usage command, or by scanning for the messages that are output when a pageset adds extents. -Tom -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tom Schneider / IBM Global Services - MQSeries ASC (513) 274-4034 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Taras Wolansky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: MQSeries List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/27/2004 01:13 PM Please respond to MQSeries List To [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject "Pageset nearly full" warning? On the mainframe, MQ puts out a message if a pageset is full, which can then be acted upon by automation. Is there a good way of producing a warning message if a pageset is filling up, but not yet full? ********************************************************************** Confidentiality Note: This message and any attachments may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
