Hi All,

I've been googling around the world to find a way to query MAX CHANNELS and MAX ACTIVE CHANNELS from an MQ instance. Is there an MQSC command which can show them? Or anything else?

I would need them to set monitoring alerts when there are too many connections.

My MQ-s are mostly version 6

Thanks,

MQ V6 is long out of support.

Navigate down the MQ file system to your queue manager name directory. You will find the qm.ini file.

This is from https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSFKSJ_7.5.0/com.ibm.mq.con.doc/q015750_.htm

Navigate down the MQ file system to your queue manager directory. For example, on UNIX:

/var/mqm/qmgrs/QMNAME/qm.ini

Quote:
An excerpt of a qm.ini file follows. It specifies that the TCP/IP listener is to listen on port 2500, the maximum number of current channels is to be 200, and the maximum number of active channels is to be 100.

TCP:
Port=2500
CHANNELS:
MaxChannels=200
MaxActiveChannels=100

Thanks.

But config files may not be consistent with the running qmanager. Is there a way to ask this info from the running instance?

Queue Manager reads the config file when it starts... has your config file changed since Queue Manager was last restarted?

You could examine the last changed date of the .ini file to see if it has been modified since qmgr startup - which is written to the qmgr error log file.

QMgr start time is also available in DISPLAY QMSTATUS command.

Blew the dust off my MQ V6 PDF manuals and found that DISPLAY QMSTATUS is in V6, but that STARTDA and STARTTI are NOT in MQ V6. Doh!

MQv6? Yikes! Hopefully there are no bad people around. Vulnerabilities abound.

No command in current versions of MQ. These values rarely change after the qmgr is created and has been in normal operation for a long time (months, years?). You could set up your alerting on what is seen in qm.ini at the time, rather than trying to query dynamically.
