Hi Guys,

I'm on the prowl for a tool that will allow me from a unix command line to type in a queue name and queue manager and will return the final queue destination along with physical hostname or ip address where the queue resides.

Is there such a tool available?

No.

You'd have to write a program that would send a message to the remote queue manger and execute a command on that machine to get the hostname/ip address, and then put that into a reply message and send it back to the first program.

And deploy that program to every queue manager in your network.

You could attempt to do a recursive set of PCF "inquire queue, inquire channel" commands to find XMITQs and connection names for the channels that process that XMITQ.

But, in general, no MQ application needs to, or should know the information your asking about. And monitoring applications shouldn't have to discover this in the way you're asking about.

Yep thats exactly what I thought I might have to do, but decided to inquire anyway.

You are right in saying there is no need for any application to know this info as this will create coupling between applications. The reason for me requiring such a tool is to assist in troubleshooting our middleware solution when messages go missing or whatever.

On the other hand, in v6, you can use trace reports, and there is a sample program/command program to run a trace message.
