Chinna,
I would suggest you look at the new "service" object in MQ V6. This allows you top start and stop programs with the qmgr. |

Actually, there are Custom Services available in 5.3 - at least on Windows.

Chinna, what platform are you talking about?
As an example, you can cause ms03 (saveqmgr) to automatically
run each time the qmgr starts by created a service definition, viz:
define service('ms03') +
startcmd('c:\ms03\saveqmgr.exe') +
startarg(-m +QMNAME+ -f c:\temp\+QMNAME+.mqsc -o') +
stdout('c:\temp\ms03.stdout') +
stderr('c:\temp\ms03.stderr') +
control(startonly) +
servtype(command)
The "+QMNAME+" strings gets replaced by the qmgr with its own name at runtime |

| In that case, the "service" object in MQ V6 is best, as it provides a common method to start and stop programs across all those platforms. |

where is this documented?
are there other 'runtime' variables that can be used with V6?

This isn't a V6 enhancement. It's been there for a while. And I think +QMNAME+ is the only one.
The only place I've seen it documented is in the Clustering Manual.
Cheers,

Well maybe not QMNAME, but just found the following in the WebSphere MQ V6.0 Information Center:
replaceable inserts on service definitions!
MQ_INSTALL_PATH
MQ_DATA_PATH
QMNAME
MQ_SERVICE_NAME
MQ_SERVER_PID (can only be used by the STOPARG and STOPCMD arguments)

Usually, people write scripts that they use to start and stop mq and then those scripts also stop and stop whatever other services they like. However, that all fails when someone just types in strmqm/endmqm. The new V6 "service" object gets around that problem. |

I'm trying to use the MQ Services functionality on Windows. I'm running MQ v6 and I have a number of applications which I have configured to run as Window Services (i.e. I can start and stop them via the 'Computer Management' console in Windows or I can issue a 'net start' or 'net stop' command). This all works fine, however I now wish to tie the stopping and starting of these services to the Queue Manager. For some reason, the service starts and then instantly stops (according to the Windows Event Logs) but I can't see any information about why this happens!
Has anyone tried this before or have any advice about how to get it to work? The RedBooks I've looked though don't seem to be much use to me (MQv6 Admin Guide etc).
Thanks in advance. |

Are you saying these applications are coded as "Windows services"?
Can you run the programs from a command line (dos prompt)? You need to be able to run the programs as a normal windows executable on the command line, and then ensure you paste the same command into your service definition.

The services themselves are actually written in Java, but I have wrapped them using Tanuki Software's "Java Service Wrapper" (http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/introduction.html). The scripts that come with the Java Service Wrapper mean that you can start the applications from the command line if you wish or you can 'register' them with Windows as a service, thus allowing you to stop and start them using the Windows Computer Management GUI, and allowing them to run when no-one is logged onto the Windows box.
The scripts themselves look quite simple but they do seem to use a number of environment variables - I wonder if these are not being set correctly when MQ attempts to execute these scripts. |

so the command the service is starting is" "java tanuki-classes.....", or are you starting a bat file.... I would also check in the amqerr01.log file for errors ....
also, did you set files for STDERR and STDOUT in the service's definition?
