Looking for creative ways and ideas to use MQSeries events and triggering to automate maintenance. If some sample programs are out there somewhere - even better!
Example: It would be nice to use events/triggering to notify people via email for certain conditions. Note: Our account does not have access to any special queue monitors tools (e. QPasa, BMC Patrol, etc).
Thank you! |

| I don't know about maintenance, but you can definitely set WMQ up to monitor certain events (eg, queue depths). You might want to look at the WMQ Event Monitoring manual. |

Don't want to anwser my own questions  but I am looking for creative ways you could automate maintenace. I think dealing with "queue is filling up" is an example...a program to dump messages to log file at this time or send an email to someone would be helpful. What maintenance could be automated in aging messages? Queue activity? Etc, etc.
Looking to see what the Grand Masters and experienced users have done with triggering to make their own lives easier.
Thank you. |

"Grand Master" just means "Spends too much time posting to MQSeries.net".
The Events manual tells you all the things that MQ will alert you on.
You will then have to write a program that will be triggered and will process the messages that tell what has happened - and then act on those things.
And then you will have to write a process that will monitor your monitor, so you know that it is or is not processing messages successfully.
And write a program to monitor your email server, so you know when it is down so you know that you might be getting alerts that can't be sent.
And probably write a program or web page to allow for the management of the email addresses that get alerts, and under what conditions.
Welcome to the enterprise.

first time I read your question about maintenance I was thinking you were looking how to automate maintenance on MQ itself (apply CSDs) etc...
this makes more sense now.
That said. Monitoring tools are plenty out there even free nowadays (Qflex), why this urge to build your own?
Also take a look at MO71 it can do a lot of magic.
