How do you know it's an error?

What service tool? Are you trying to be deliberately obstructive?

I'd guess (in the absense of any helpful information from yourself) it means that the oldest message on a queue is 300 units of time old. As to if it's an error depends on why this unknown service tool was configured on your site to produce this message. It could be an error, it could be a warning or it could be an audit message!

Talk about giving the most minimal amount of information, obviously you want people to guess at the question & answer, so here goes:
It has been 300 years or weeks or days or minutes or seconds since the message arrived or was picked up or delivered.

Sorry, that's the best my crystal ball can do.

This is all the information I have

Ip: 40.226.402.96
msgage_gmqc_std EventID: 1/1/1222650 msgage_gmqc_std (Oldest_Message_Age_310 )..

The alert has only this Information . From the Ip we can make out the server and the Qmgr but what is the below line means

msgage_gmqc_std EventID: 1/1/1222650 msgage_gmqc_std (Oldest_Message_Age_310 )

From MQ prespective what needs to be done.

- Find more information, specifically the service tool producing this message (you mentioned a service tool earlier and these do not appear to be WMQ messages, possibly decodes of statisics messages)

- Find out why it's producing these messages (information, warning, error)

- Act accordingly based on this information & your site standards.

Possibly another way to look at this is to see how long these messages have been being produced, and see if the queue manager has been apparently running normally through this period. If it has, you could assume that if there's a problem it's not a serious one and wait for a further issue to manifest itself, rather than try and "fix" this and potentially cause a worse problem.

You could use the time to read the infocentre, or perhaps attend some administration training courses.
