MQSeries.net :: View topic - Filtering names of just reply queues using PCF

hartley

Hi

Am trying to monitor some temporary dynamic reply queue depths (sample every so often) on an MQ broker.

Am trying to use PCF to do this.

However, looking at the docs e.g.

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.mq.csqzac.doc/pc13120_.htm

I don't think I do what I need e.g filter by 'temporary dynamic'.

Instead, I collect all queue names via a PCF command using MQCMD_INQUIRE_Q_STATUS and MQIA_CURRENT_Q_DEPTH, and then filter these programmatically.

Unfortunately I can't use the usual filter because the implementers defined the reply queue naming convention in an unhelpful way (i.e. the useful part to filter on is not a prefix).

Really I'm asking if there is a better way and, if not, is it going to cause much hassle for the broker if there are hundreds of queues and I am polling the depth every 10 seconds?

Thanks for your help

Hartley.
