I have a queue manager with a queue that receives messages from another Queue manager but few days back someone closed the channels at the sender end hence could not recieve any messages from the other system.
Is it possible for us in someway to find out the everthing is ok at server end ? Just like the way we can ping from Sender channel. |

Do you have a MQSeries monitor ?

I think it is difficult to monitor the queue manager of a business partner. So if vineet.rawat's "other end" is a different company... then vineet.rawat's best choice is to monitor the receiver channel on the local side. If in some period of time it never goes to the running state, then generate an alert.
Yes, a full fledged monitoring tool is the best option for any organization with more than about three queue managers. But it is fairly easy to write a simple monitor script in Perl (using MA89) or Java (using MS0B) to monitor channel status.

| Of course you could always set up Server/Requester Channels instead of Sender/Receiver that way you can start the Opposite end from your Requester Channel |

Is there something to be sended?
What does you mean with that receives messages ... but few days back someone closed the channels. Does it mean, that the channels were always running and ended never? Generally channels end after a while and are re-started by a trigger mechanism. Maybe, your channel is not properly triggered. Did you try to start the channel with the START CHANNEL command? Is there something to be sended in the XmitQ on the sender side?

I think the point is that vineet.rawat doesn't know the status of the MQManager that is supposed to be sending messages to his MQManager...
Ergo he can't even display the XMITQ or SDR Channel and issueing a start chl on a RCVR Channel is seldom if ever helpful.
@vineet, you need to contact the Administrators of the MQManager that is supposed to be sending messages to you to resolve this.
