Re: AS400 Queue Manager Recognition
Chad, I use the IFS. But you will need a HLL program inside your CLP to do the leg work. I used RPGLE to use the UNIX/POSIX APIs to open and read file '/qibm/userdata/mqm/mqs.ini', look for the "QueueManager:" stanza, and from within there look for the "Library=" string. Extract the library name from the string and pass it to your journal handler. If you need to assess what its run status is, you will also need to extract the value from "Directory=" from within the queue manager data. Then you can construct the path, open and read file "/qibm/userdata/mqm/qmgrs/YOUR_DIRECTORY/qmstatus.ini". In there you will be looking for values: QueueManagerStatus: CurrentStatus=Running CmdSvrStatus=Ended or whatever you will want to test for. Mark Phillips has already written the command set to clean the journals, so take a look at http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0308_phillips/phillips.html before you get too bogged down in your own code. If you need examples on using UNIX/POSIX APIs consult the "Sorcerers Guide". http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg245402.pdf Hope this helps.

Re: AS400 Queue Manager Recognition
Hi Chad, I have used the IFS to determine all the queue managers on the system, however this method will return all of them, both active and inactive. I use the CVTIFS command (which is a TAATOOL utility you may or may not have) to convert the QMGRS folder to a file and then process the file (skipping records for "&SYSTEM", etc.). Once you have the name of the QMgr you can probably determine if it is active by doing a DSPMQM for it and monitoring for an error indicating that the QMgr is not active. If you have TAATOOL and you're interested in the CL source program that determines all QMgrs, let me know. Another option, which can determine if a QMgr is active or not, is to use the QMgr's qmstatus.ini file. The QueueManagerStatus stanza shows the current status. However, I don't think you can do that easily with a CL program. It would be simpler with a high-level language.

Linear Logging
Windows 2000 WMQ 5.3 (CSD 6). We have been using Circular logging for the Test queue managers. To be able to do a media recovery, I would like to use Linear logging in Production. However, my colleagues are in favor of using Circular logging instead as it does not require any maintenance/backup. They say, if an object is damaged they can re-create it manually. They are willing to live with the damaged queue and its contents by deleting and recreating the queue etc. I would like to know from the real experiences of the people using Linear logging: 1- The Admin book says If you do not take regular media images of the objects that you want to re-create, you might have insufficient disk space to hold all the log files required to re-create an object. How often do you take media images? 2-Is there a tool (preferably free) out there that could be used to retrieve selected messages from the log and put them onto a queue ? I think there are some, but I don t remember the names. 3-How often do you clean-up the logs? Of course, it depends on the how fast the files are getting full. But I just need some idea 4- Any complexities, problems etc with dealing with Liner logging?

I use linear logging in all my systems (Win & HP). I probably don't need it, not having any long units of work in my applications, but I'm super conservative about such things.

Re: Linear Logging
Hi Ruzi, Some considerations: If somebody has accidentally deleted the queue then rcrmqobj is not going to help you, as the object is not damage, it's just not there, which is what rcrmqobj will tell you. Another point to consider is that rcrmqobj will only recover a damaged object to the current point in time, you can't tell it to stop at a timestamp before current, the roll-forward, after the object has been recreated, replays the Gets as well. So if your application has gone south and you want to replace some messages on a queue then once again rcrmqobj will not help as it will replay the Gets, leaving the queue empty. There are also some performance implications you should consider when using Linear logging if your Disks are running at max.

Re: Linear Logging
Hi Ruzi We are using Linear Logging on Windows for sometime. Personally, I don't see any major overheads of the Linear. Please note that one of our such queue manager generates large volume of logs because of traffic. On all our Windows servers, we have scheduled a "batch" job which runs once a day, issues rcdmqimg command, followed by my VB Script to clean up the old logs. However so far we never needed to repair the objects (other than testing it to make sure it works) but it gives a good cosy feeling having LINEAR logs.

Re: Linear Logging
Hi Ruzi It needs all the files starting FROM and NOT JUST THAT file. So if your current log number S003652.log, MQ needs all the log files starting from to 3652 log files. That's why one need to run "rcdmqimg", which takes the dump of MQ objects and accordingly the entry in the error file will change something like, MQ needs 3650 for media recovery and 3651 for qmgr restart. Which means you need to keep 3650, 3651, 3652 Basically what it tells you is - you can safely delete all LOGS LESS THAN THAT NUMBER. In your case restore all deleted logs back and restart the queue manager.

Re: Linear Logging
Hi, The oldest is the LOWEST numbered log file. I don't know what files you deleted by your comments of 'deleted the remaing two' but if you deleted S001.LOG and S002.LOG then you are in big trouble. If true, then I don't think this is recoverable. You may need to re-create the queue manager.

Communication between Weblgoic JMS and MQSeries JMS
Hello, Anybody tried communication between Weblogic JMS and MQSeries JMS? If so can you please give me some idea regarding your implementation. Any help will be appreciated... Thank you, Smitha.

Re: Communication between Weblgoic JMS and MQSeries JMS
Smitha How did you want to do this - have 2 JMS applications in a WebLogic Server or a bridge between Weblogic JMS and MQ ? I don't believe that a J2EE server would allow 2 JMS implementations simultaneously Brian S.
