Could someone pls tell me, where i can find the MQ logs (not error logs). The one which shows the activities on queues of a QM; like MQput MQget etc.
Thanks,
Ri. |

our logs are on os/390 in a user catalog named flq.machine.qmgr.date.time.archivenumber
oh, you are not on os/390? too bad you did not tell us.

The logs are in the directory specified in /var/mqm/qmgrs/<qmgrname>/qm.ini
Usually that is /var/mqm/log/<qmgr_name>/active.
You cannot read them as is.
To format any output you may have to stop the qmgr.
(or was that just for trace files?)
If the logging is circular you may never be able to find what you are looking for as it may already have been overwritten.
And IF YOU TAMPER WITH THE ACTIVE LOG FILES YOU WILL HAVE TO DELETE AND RECREATE YOUR QUEUE MANAGER
Enjoy  |

And these logs DO NOT show you the information you are looking for.
The only way to get, for example, when a PUT was done and by what user and onto what queue, is to use an API exit.
Or buy some monitoring software that includes an API exit.

Umm, jeff that's not really true. I just made a test myself (haven't done it in so long wanted to refresh my memory) there's an entry for every MQGET or MQPUT every done. For example
| Quote: |
LOG RECORD - LSN <0:0:17:50376>
**********
HLG Header: lrecsize 30708, version 1, rmid 0, eyecatcher HLRH
LogRecdType . . : AQM Put Message (257)
Eyecatcher . . : ALRH Version . . . . : 1
LogRecdLen . . : 30688 LogRecdOwnr . . : 256 (AQM)
XTranid . . . . : TranType: MQI TranNum{High 0, Low 38}
QueueName . . . : A
Qid . . . . . . : {Hash 2147477731, Counter: 5}
ThisLSN . . . . : <0:0:0:0>
PrevLSN . . . . : <0:0:0:0> |
followed by the entire message content + MQMD...
Anyway riya, look in System Admin Guide for "dmpmqlog". You have to stop the QM to use the command. The basic command is
| Quote: |
| dmpmqlog -m QMGRNAME |
you should probably pipe it into file, it tends to be a rather large dump...
This will not give you any statistics, but only a action-by-action dump of all activities, so it is only appropriate if you want to see what's going on just this once; generally it's more fun to use than it is actually useful. If statistics is what you want, use trace. |

QMANAGER EROR LOGS:C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Qmgrs\QMGR1\errors

Nice opportunity to re-plug Cressida ReQuest for WMQ , the tool that harvests the information collected in MQ Logs ........ and including a Log Manager feature to help with the Admin related tasks of looking after the Log files.
This ReQuest Key Features should provide most of the initial reading material.
And here are a good few Customer Case Studies on the subject.
Thank you. |
