Platform: AIX, P5 Series
The java program is failing with a null pointer exception, which stems from a gettimestamp type call. The support pac has been working fine with v5.3 on the same platform (although blade-based).
Contrasting v5.3 and v6.0 queue manager error logs shows a difference in the format, v6.0 now adds more data after the timestamp.
Has anyone else hit this problem and overcome it?

MS0L?
MS0L: MQSeries - Linear Logfile Maintenance in Java & Korn Shell
I've always used Brian's:
MS62: MQSeries - Linear log clean-up script
which works fine with V6.
(btw, Brian's latest version is here:

)

Yes, my apologies for the typo...and I couldn't immediately edit it due to the time restriction on posts.

Thank you, I'll do that and much appreciate your assistance.
The reason the java version is our preference is due to cross-platform use.

Ask Tim for the updated version V6 compatible of MS0L. It is not on the support pack site yet, but we are using it and it works just fine.
The reason is the difference in the DATE TIME format in the log between 5.3 and 6.0 (2 spaces in 5.3 between date and time vs 1 space in 6.0).
Enjoy

I heard last week that Java 5 supports regex parsing ....

To be more specific, Perl is not part of the approved build and therefore is not available for our use  .

No need for regex parsing or java 1.5. Even java 1.3 can handle it.
Date time format is lax parsing. Specifying 1 space in your format String will accomodate both 5.3 and 6.0, but specifying 2 spaces will only accomodate 5.3 and give a null value in 6.0 ...
Enjoy
