I'm running MQ in Solaris environment. I'm trying to figure out how I can write a script that will send a notification when a message has been sitting in the queue for n minutes of time. I know I can get the CURDEPTH, but if the CURDEPTH is the same when the script is being executed, that doesn't necessarily mean the documents are the same. Is there anyway I can iterate through the documents in the queue to get specific attributes on the document, such as time stamp???
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
the answer is yes you defiantely can, but don't ask me how, because this requires coding, which I am not capable to do.
But there is a number of tools out there, which will help you with that. But they are not free I am afraid.
I am not sure, but maybe the free netflexity monitoring solution might do it.
cheers

You'll have to browse the queue for each message, and get the PutTime from the MQMD.
Most monitoring tools don't do this.
Or you could write an API exit that would record the puttime somewhere, and then record the time when the same message was retrieved.

how do I browse the queue for each message and get the post time? Can you set me on the right track with a command example? I'm not too familiar with all the different comands and what they do. If you tell me which command does what I'm looking for, I will then manipulate it to get the information/handle I need for the script.
Thanks!

There are sample programs avaialble in the repository here, and on ibm's website that will show you how to browse messages. It's the same as getting them, but with different options.
It has to be done with code.
You can also read the Application Programming Guide for discussions on using Expiration on messages, so that they will automatically go away if they are "too old" (as long as something is reading the queue!).

I tried to look in the repository on the site here and couldn't find any examples of code or commands. I wouldn't know where to find this stuff. I don't even know what I'm searching for. I've searched for "get messages from queue", "document attributes", etc. What should I be looking for?

By "repository", I mean "the button at the top of this page labeled 'repository'".
There is a program called 'mqbrowse' in the Java section.
Also there should be amqsbcg0.c in your <MQ_Install>/Tools/c/Samples folder, if you installed the SDK. This is a C program that will browse.

I was more so looking for shell script commands. Is there any way I can get this information via command line rather than code?

Again:
Not easily.
One thing you can look at is amqsbcg sample program. But you will have to parse the output yourself. |
