Hi,
I want to log the details of all messages that were sent out of a MQ queue.
Is there any facility available with MQ series 6 ? Or any other alternatives
to achive this ? Please let me know as iam finding it difficult to confirm
if any messages had flown out of a queue and if so how many for a particular day?
Iam running MQ series 6.0.2 on windows 2003 server and UNIX servers.
Thanks.

If you are talking about statistics information you can use "Accounting and Statistics".

You can use accounting & statistics functionality to get the sort of details you're looking for, or something like the mirrorq exit to keep a copy of the messages.
Be aware that these will have a performance price, and it's not worth paying if the business requirement for this is just the usual "but how do we know MQ is working " nonsense that business people come up with. 
Or the application people are "losing" messages and swear blind it can't be a programming bug. Honest.

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
I just want to know the count of messages transferred out of a Queue.
Because,at times some messages are lost and we want to confirm that these many messages have gone.
However performance should not be affected.
Also, where can i find accounting & statistics functionality ?
Thanks

There are no lost messages.
You should check your application design.

I knew it! I just knew it! The eternal cry - "MQ lost my message".
MQ does not lose messages. It sometimes discards them if allowed to, but they are never lost. They are always someplace in MQ, or have been lost by the application programme.
Using statistics will be less expensive than logging individual messages, but you'll still take a hit on performance.
You're better off taking some time out proving your configuration is bullet-proof.

As the GMs and Ms have correctly stated above,...
MQ does not lose messages...thats the whole purpose of going for MQ sometimes....
Have you defined a DLQ for the QM?If at all the messages are not transmitted by MCA they are sent to the DLQ. |
