Is there anyway to tell when the last time a queue was put to? Looking at all our MQ Objects on all our Queue Managers, I see that there are lots of queues that I "know" are obsolete. If I could generate a report somehow listing all queues and their last put time, we could scrutinize all older than say, six months, and start cleaning up.

I'm not sure how to do this programmatically but I think that Candle's MQSeries monitoring tool keeps track of this statistic. Of course, that means you need to be running Candle

Another way is to write a program which does a get-with-browse on all messages within each queue to determine the PutDate from the MQMD. It could then work out the most recent message for each queue. This of course would not be a fast process and would involve writing a program but it certainly wouldn't be too difficult.

Nick,
that would imply that there actually are messages on a queue. I think what Peter wants is information about when an (empty) queue has been last used and the only way I know of to get this information is through MQ queue statistics. There are a couple of 3rd party products (e.g Candle Command Center) that provide this information. You could also write some PCF enabled program to obtain the information.
I guess this involves some reading...
Cheers,
Stefan

The only date/time maintained for a Queue is it's creation and last modification.

Maybe a way would be to use the RESET QUEUE STATISTICS (PCF). This returns the time since the last reset and the number of messages enqueued and dequeued since the last reset. So, you would have to store the date/time of the last check externaly somehow so you could build the history. Also, I'm not sure what happens to that time across a Queue Manager shut down and restart. Some experimentation required.

Cheers,
