Hello,
I am hoping to find out if there a way to run saveqmgr command and pick up only the latest changes to the MQ objects(channels/queues), based on ALTDATE/ALTTIME fields of the given objects.
Any feedback is appriciated.
Thanks
Irina. |

Not that I know of.
Of course, it does come with the source code.

So, you'd want to filter objects based on altdate/time Ie, only generate mqsc if the alttime is after a specified value).....

(without opening Pandora's box...) I'm wondering if this is part of a larger requirement to filter saveqmgr's output. Right now, the only "filter" you can apply is to supress SYSTEM* definitions (via -s). I can see merit in this requirement, but how complicated would the filter need be?
Comments gladly accepted .... (but no promises.... )

It might be simplest if you could add an option to force each object definition to a single line.
Then one can "saveqmgr -1 |grep -v SYSTEM" or etc (assuming the option is -1).
I realize that might have implications for piping back into runmqsc...
Otherwise, filter by name, altdate/alttime, and type (qlocal, etc) would be a good start.

Decided to suppress the SYSTEM* defenitions and then wrote a Shell script to parse through everything else in the output file.
Thanks a lot guys for very helpful hints.

I've considered that for a while now, aside from the fear of blowing the input buffer on runmqsc, there doesn't appear to be a way to place ALTDATE/TIME on the line, since mqsc syntax doesn't allow for imbedded comments. Without ALTDATE/TIME, the original poster's request wouldn't be satisified.

You could always reorder fields so that all comments came at the end of the one line...

It's a support pack, MS03.
It's very handy.

Alors, a slightly odd but valid suggestion - what about putting ALTDATE in the DESCR field? I don't think most people use it anyway, and you could concat it to the end to preserve their text.
I think the benefits here outweigh the shortcomings, especially since this is the only way; simply put a big warning to those using this option that DESCR may be changed and let them run their own risks. In my personal experience, the need for grepping saveqmgr output is far more common than the use of DESCR field.
(btw, I think it is much wiser moving in the one-output-line direction than filtering through parameters such as -s) |

Jeff..perhaps I don't understand, but
| Code: |
| def ql(test) *comment |
isn't valid mqsc syntax

Perhaps, or what about the idea of allowing oneline AND filtering via parms for the "special cases" ie altdate and crdate/time?
