Hi All,

Is it possible to delete the Broker Queue Manager without deleting/impacting the broker. The queue manager we are currently having is generating lot of FDC's, we are not able to come up with a fast resolution even after looking at FDC's.

For a quick solution, we want to delete and recreate the queue manager(obviously using the SaveQmgr utility first to save and later to restore MQ objects)

well , the point is

1. We have one queue manager which is shared by both config manager and Message Broker, what would be the impact if we delete this queue manager and create a new queue manager with the same name and restoring/recreating back all the MQ objects(including the broker related Queues and channels)??

2. As both Broker and ConfigMgr store their information in different repositories which is un-related to any of MQ files. so I think that deleting a queue manager would not impact those directories. Please confirm this point.

Message MQ version is - 6.0.2.8 , OS is - AIX, Broker Version is V6.1


Regards,

i dont think its a good idea, i am not sure, how it impacts, even if you think about Cold - Start Procedure too. it may create some problems to to event pub-sub messages.

To highlight it further , this queue manager was recently started with the cold start procedure, what actually happened was we accidentally deleted some of the queue manager S Logs and then to start the queue manager we have to create a dummy queue manager and copy its Log and Control file to our queue manager and then we managed to start the queue manager, but now its giving lot of problem, specially related to configuration manager.

There are lot of FDC's files are being generated where all of them are having many probe ID's, it starts like this -

Hi Vitor,

May I know what would be the impact, does broker wouldn't allow queue manager to be deleted without deleting it first?

Holy shit.. that is something.

Well, then closing this case, can you guide me about the FDC's problem we are facing with MQ as I mentioned earlier.

Seems like resolving the MQ FDC's problem is an only alternative.

What did IBM say when you raised the PMR?

Have you tried another, more careful, cold start? Or retrieving the deleted log files off a system backup?

It looks like you're having disk issues or capacity issues creating log files.

You wouldn't expect to need to change kernel settings on a box where the queue manager was already running & had just had an unfortunate incident really

Likewise with capacity or disk issues you wouldn't really expect that if you'd just cold started with new, identical logs. Of course, if you've cold started with different size or number of logs then that could be a problem, hence my comment about doing it again & more carefully. Accidents happen, especially when you're rushing to fix a problem.

Hi!

I have done it on Version 5.3, someone deleted all the qmgrs S*LOGs...
We just deleted it and all directorys, recreated the directorys and recreated the qmgr with the same....
Everything kept running without any problems....


Then we switched platform and went to WMB 7.0.1...

above link was not helpful as it is valid for Solaris and MQ V5.3, whereas we are running MQ V6.0 on AIX operating system. Anyway thanks for your help.

Yes, I missed out the part(to bring no of primary and secondary log files in sync with our queue manager) while creating the dummy queue manager. I followed the cold start procedure again with keeping everything in sync.

thanks vitor for pointing me in the correct direction.
