OK imagine the scenario

You have a multiple environment (DEV TEST PROD) multiple servers ( e.g. 5) in each environment all for different applications (e.g. WAS and IIB on separate servers MQ inter connecting all of them, with pther applications involved and Tivoli monitoring them.

All the servers are installed via scripts which look at the environment properties and create the appropriate queue managers and application installs.

Now because of the scripted approach all the queue managers should have teh same objects and configuration (SSL, Channels, Clusters etc) but with names being slightly different.

A typical multi platform environment really.

So after a period of time and multiple changes by various people these will be slightly different.

So.....

let's decide we want to compare queue managers in environments and on servers so that we can see what has been changed and where etc. Reason being that a new application can see a queue manager on 1 server but not another queue manager on the same server

SO let's assume that there is a difference between the queue managers, the question is how do you do a comparison?

Obviously (or maybe not) the place to start would be to run a dmpmqcfg on each queue manager to a file so that they can be studied.

Could teh check between be automated. AM sure it could with lots of lookups and checks and scans etc etc etc for example if this queue ABC.DEV.01 exists on QM1 with x properties lookup on QM2 and compare properties and report differences.

Yes there will be obvious ones but some of the background config for example SSL Ciphers on channels (are they the same etc) are not so easily spotted.

SO teh whole point of this diatribe

Does anyone know of a simple easy way to do this without any manual work involved or looking at files in different windows and reading all the lines of an mqsc file?

Surely this has been required before?
