Hi,
I am a newbie and trying to check if the queue is empty (0 message) before attempting to get a message. It seems a basic task but I cannot find any solution to it.
Any idea is appreciated.
Thanks. |

Quite easy: in base do a get if it returns with reason code 2033 the queue is empty (no message in a getable state)
In JMS do a receive. If the message is null same story...
If you want the check to be non destructive do a browse. If the browse does not allow you to see any message your queue is empty(no message in a getable/browseable state).
Enjoy

I managed to do it by checking if the reason code is 2033, but as you say, I would like to make it in a non-destructive way. How would you check the browseable state in C# (if there is a means to do it)?
Thanks for your help. |

Don't bother.
Read the first message, destructively. If you get a 2033, then there's nothing more to do for now. If you don't get a 2033, then process the message.
Why do you want to know if you need to get a message before you try to get a message?

It is a rare application that would need to know the current depth of a queue without the intent to MQGET the messages.
However, here is how you check to see if there are messages in a queue, but not (attempt to) MQGET them:
1. MQOPEN the queue for inquire; then
2. MQINQuire on current depth; then
3. MQCLOSE the queue.
This is not a best practice for all applications, since you have added three MQI calls. As prior posts suggest, your applications attempt to MQGET a message with either get a message or return a 2033 reason code. |

...and the value for depth may well be inaccurate (expired messages etc). |

It seems, I just have to stick to checking the 2033 reason code - simple and works fine...
Thanks all of you for the suggestions. |

Can you give us a bit more detail on the requirement? I'm not immediately clear on how qdepth would affect message routing - normally it's content.

I've seen more "interesting" ideas reading mqseries.net than I ever thought possible ...
anyways, if thats what you really want to do (and I agree with Vitor that its an unusual requirement), I had a long conversation with someone maybe 1 to 1-1/2 years ago here on writing and reading PCF messages from ESQL...if you search hard enough you'll find it ... good luck!

Maybe it is for workload management/balancing? |

Easy... if there are no messages, then don't route...if there are messages, then route them (sorry, maybe its the water here)
