Hey Guys,
How you all doing?. This is my first post on the site.
I am wondering whether we can read MQ - messages via K shell script on an AIX box. Also I like to read properties of the message like priority, sending application etc from the shell.
Any help/pointers are greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much 
Prasad. |

Do you know Perl very well?

Ma89 supportpac provides an API for perl scripts. As far as I know, there's nothing for ksh (outside of running a utility that dumps the message to a file and then parsing the file, but that's messy and probably not very reliable)

This is the site and forum to get help. Thank you all.
Thank you very much for your quick replies.
Yes, from your help I see I can do things with PERL.
So, let us say I go with PERL. In project documentation what should I note down: like...
Right now, there is NO way to read MQ messages and/or issue MQI calls via shell.
OR shall I write..
There may be methods but they are too costly to implement rather than to go with this PERL solution.
Thanks,
Prasad. |

I'd vote for:
"Right now, there is NO way to read MQ messages and/or issue MQI calls via a shell script (other than PERL)".

No direct way.
Backticks make anything possible.

All,
<Vendor Plug>
Well, the MQ Batch Toolkit (MQBT) can definitely fill this void. In your shell script, it can invoke MQBT to read 1 or messages from a queue and output it to stdout (or a file).
With the '-M' parameter, it will also output the MQMD header.
For more information on MQ Batch Toolkit or to download a 30-day trial, go to:
