Hi,
Is there any IBM tool which I can use for basic health checks and performace evaluations on production queue managers?
Thanks, |

Depends what you mean by performance, which is not the same as availability.
Do you mean free tool, or not?
You could look at support pac MO71 for a free tool that can do a certain amount of this.
IBM have system management tools for purchase as do other vendors.
What's the budget? |

Yes I am looking for a free tool from IBM, may be which is available as a support pack. I am looking for a tool which can do performace/health checks and notify me if there is any problem in the queue manager. |

When I have performed MQ Health Checks, I have needed to look at a range of topics including Security, High Availability planning, architecture and management. Is this the type of thing that you had in mind?
In terms of performance evaluations are you considering stress testing? There used to be a MQ plugin for LoadRunner which could help with this. On the other hand, if you are looking at bottleneck analysis etc., most MQ management tools should be able to help with this. |

Life is not that simple. MO71 is the closest match to your requirements.
However, if your business relies on the queue managers it might be worth investing in something more commercial such as Tivoli, Omegamon, BMC Patrol, Appwatch, QPasa and so on.
Appwatch (MQSoftware) is not expensive and is very easy to install. |

Yes I am looking for a tool similar to M071. But it is for windows OS, my queue managers are running on HP-UX. Is there any similar tool I can get which run on HP-UX? |

I'm sure you've got a Windows machine someplace you could run MO71 on....

MO71 itself runs on Windows - but it can monitor any QM platform, it is agent-less which is a good thing for simplicity.
If you have a large network of queue managers - you need something more than this. |
