Hello everybody,
We seem to have lost a few messages from the queue. Messages were persistent in nature. We are trying to find out if someone manually cleared the Queues. I tried to look at log files but they are cryptic. Is there a utility or command I can use to look at log files - and in particular find out if someone manually cleared the queue?
Thank you very much!!! |

No, there is no such log.

Thanks you.
Is there a way I can find out if MQGET was issued for an MQPUT from the Log? |

If you are running on a Unix system you can look at the the .sh_history of the mqm user and the sulog as well as using the last command.
Also if you are using any auditing software like Keon or Powerbroker you may be able to find out by contacting your security group.

Transaction Vision from Bristol Technologies is a tool that can give you this type of information after the fact.

So, also, I think can Cressida's ReQuest.
But really, it's much better to put measures in place to avoid needing something like this. Like adequate security measures and tracking on administration (through a professional management tool, usually) and proper logs from your applications.

| Hi Jeff - If they are using linear logging they can use dmpmqlog to find that info (like when the MQGET is done)!! isn't it so? |

Well there is always the other side of this equation, Are you sure the application doing the MQPUT to the queue is getting a good return code.
Also maybe the application is doing the MQPUT Call at all !!!!
I have seen this happen more than once.

If you use DMPMQLOG you will see if a clear qlocal was done - this is an single entry in the log. Linear logging only of course.

Thank you everybody for their input.
I tried using DMPMQLOG with no success - we do have linear logging. I tried it on our test machine where I put messages using amqsput and cleared it out using RUNMQRC > CLEAR QL command. I can't see any log entries being generated for clear QL command.
I guess we are out of luck - we will try to put better measures in place. |

Try looking for "Purge Queue" instead.
Good Luck. |

How can I use dmpmqlog on a specific circular log. We have a lightly used production system where a message was duplicated. We need to show that 2 puts were done. These msgs come from z/OS and are put to AIX. I know which log these entries are in and I'd like to dump it specifically.
Thanks!

| dmpmqlog can only be used on the active extent, i.e. the latest one. There is no facility to dump from earlier logs. |
