I have an application which has two queue managers.
I want to check whether a specific Queue Manager is running or not.
Is there any utility to check the status.
Can anybody please tell me a way to do it. |

| "dspmq" from the command line is a pretty good step - we use that in the beginning of all our MQ monitoring, to see who's up or not..... |

If you are on Windows you can also look in the registry and it will tell you the status too.
What are you trying to achieve? Are you writing a monitor or do you just want to have the application 'fail-over'?
The thing about using MQCONN is that it will work on all platforms (and as a client too.) |

The Windows registry does not tell you THE status. It will tell you A status, but not necessarily one you can believe.
Question: How does the key get updated?
Answer: By a queue manager changing it as it changes state.
Question: So how can it get updated if the queue manager abends?
Answer: It can't.
(Same situation if you look in the ini files on Unix.)
Only way to tell for sure is to do some real work to the queue manager. In the HA scripts, a runmqsc PING QMGR command is normally used. Alternatively use dspmq (which wasn't available at the time the HA scripts were first written). Or write your own program to do MQCONN and return status. |

Try that on z/OS and see how far you get. |

Well, I should have qualified my answer as dspmq for distributed platforms.
But again, I definitely agree with the posts above. But for somebody who is so new to the product who cannot determine the status, I thought dspmq should be enough.
For this kind of problems here, the above solutions probably make sense.

That is really why I asked what they were actually wanting to do. If they are writing a monitor then I agree with you DSPMQ is probably the way to go, but if it is just for an appliaction then, in my opinion, applications shouldn't need to do anything, the return from MQCONN should be enough. |

In my opinion, dspmq should must be enough. But with the dspmq i see the
QMgr running, but the listener, the command Server?.
I've an utility called MQPING (for Unix & Tandem) , this one sends a PING QMGR by MQAI and calculate the Elapsed Time for the Request/Reply and the CPUTIME for each API. The source is at http://www.luisfer.info/fuentes/mqping.c

In my opinion, amqscnxc should be enough.

Thanks for the source. I'll try to get this compiled for Windows as well. |

Hi,
Is it ok if I post your code on my web site?
