I am working on a VB.net solution to access the MQSeries API's (using the client software). I seem to be able to post a message and a messagid is being returned but the returned results for the msgid do not seem to conform to a time stamp as a unique id (it may be it it is not being translated back to unicode). Whatever the case, is there a tool I can use to examine the contents of queues without disturbing them (reading the messages without destroying them)?
TIA

| MQSeries ships an amqsbcg sample program that will browse a queue and dump all of the messages on it. This is probably what you want. The source can be found in MQTOP\tools\c\samples\amqsbcg0.c. The executable (amqsbcg.exe) is under samples in the bin directory. |

MQSeries also comes with a program you can browse with the
MQSeries Explorer.

The only problem with MQSeries Explorer is that you can only view the first 100 byes of data.
Have you tried out my program called: MQ Visual Edit. It is at v0.3.7 beta (soon to be at 0.3.8 beta). It allows you to view, edit, delete, forward, cut / copy / paste, etc... messages in a queue (GUI format).
You can download a copy of MQ Visual Edit at:

I just wanted to say thanks for everyone's help.
Roger: Yes I have tried Visual Edit (I found a reference to it in another thread) and it works wonderfully and is fairly intuitive. Fortunately I had the appropriate JDK installed on my workstation at work. My only issue is that I can't use it at home since I use WinXP and havn't installed the JDK there. At least not yet. 
I am also evaluating MQMon. Of course its advantage is that it is stand alone and does not require any additional support files. Another advantage is that I should be able to examine remote queues (as soon as I figure it out). My only issue with it is that it appears more complex. I am sure I will resolve that as soon as I dig into the manual.
Thanks again everyone. Your help and responsiveness is truly appreciated and very impressive.

Hi,
If you don't want to install the JDK, then you can install just the JRE (Java Runtime Environment). It is a much smaller download. <grin>
