Use Tivoli or some such product to get that information. Depending on what you have turned on you can also get the average time spent on queue...

We do not have Tivoli. My question is whether there is some small utility like qload eg. or like any exit ( not sure whether this is an message exit)
We have bmc patrol which does have this feature. |

Take a look at the WMQ Monitoring manual. It has descriptions of the kinds of statistical and accounting data mq can capture for you.

Why doesn't your developer just take the difference between the current GMT and the GMT value in the message MD PutTime field. If you have simple topology this should give you the time spent on the queue though the actual time will be the total time spent in transit.

IMHO where you want to start is with queue statistics.

We would like to do in one of the queues en route. lets say the message travels like this:
connect to gateway queue manager and puts message to a alias q
the target queue is a remote queue in the same queue manager which in turn point to a another queue in back end queue manager( clustered)
This is where they want to measure the time the message enters and leaves the queue.
Any quick and dirty way would be okay. I am just curious how folks do this. I think this is not an uncommon things app guys ask for.
