Env: WMB 6.0 on AIX
A team member of mine has just inherited a WMB environment where he must support production problems as well. He has just the execution group with the deployed flows but not the flows themselves. He has the flows in the development environment but here the queue names are different. Now there is a problem reported for one of the queues in production. He has no idea which flow to check because there is no mapping between production queue names and dev queue names. Can one find out the name of the flow from the queue name using the execution group ?

Using MBX, you can see which flow uses which queue. I'm surprised you didn't know this. Or your friend didn't know this. Have you or your friend attended the required training?

Even on a v6.0 broker?

6.0 broker is unsupported by any tool. Although I have not tried it, it's worth seeing if MBX 7 can display the info. I don't know why it wouldn't since MBX uses CMP api, which is supported on a v6 broker.

I ask only as the OP mentioned v6.0. Given the issues mentioned with production support we can all sympathise with that kind of "inheritance" & the impossibility of any kind of upgrade.
(If management are prepared to have no correlation or controls between deployed objects & used resources, running out of support versions is not going to bother them).

| Use the CMP api exericiser in WMB 6.0 or write your own java utility to query the configuration manager to get the flow names and the queues to which they are listening. |

Always remembeing that a goodly amount the wonderful insight of broker learned on the aforementioned courses will not apply to the version of broker they are having to support....

The methods to get the queue names (MessageFlowProxy.getQueues() etc.) were only added in V6.1 - you can't get back this information in V6.0 and earlier.
Also, V7 CMP tools (including MBX) can't connect to brokers of anything earlier than V7. |

If I remember correctly, v6 still had a confimgr DB2 database. This database stored the contents of the .cmf file. I don't remember the name of the table now...
The contents .cmf (which is XML) will tell you the name of the queue the MQOutputNode is configured for. |

One regular forum poster believes this very strongly.
One regular forum poster believes that attending a training course will answer every query & render this forum redundant.
I freely conceed that wider training would reduce posting traffic greatly. I'm unconvinced that posting training links as a response to non-complex queries is productive.

Eh - it will. Why do you not want to acquire knowledge? What's stopping you from becoming a professional ?
