Dear Community,
I need your help.
I'm looking for tools on z/OS which help me to monitor my MQ environment
without changing any existing software code.
Is there a tool that tells me the number of messages written to a queue (ie by MQPUT1) within a specific time?
...to know if I got the announced number of messages from a remote system
Is there a tool that can write messages to a queue and then immediatly write the same message to another queue?
...to store the messages for backup reasons before i send them to a remote system
Thanks for any helpful comments |

Any of the usual suspects will do this. Whatever currently monitors your z/OS setup will probably do that. The Monitoring MQ manual and disucssions on this section will guide you.

Why exactly would you want to do this? You've paid a lot of money to IBM for an assured delivery product into which over a decade of patient research has been applied. A lot of very clever people have worked very hard to ensure that WMQ never loses messages, though it might discard them if told it can do so. So why would you want to back them up?

Oh yes - them. 
Why is it everyone always distrusts WMQ putting messages on queues, yet there's never any question that DB2 is adding data to tables?

Turn on SMF records for the qmgr. As with other subsystems, SMF records capture both statistical and accounting information of qmgr behavior.
