Ask the system programmer what version he installed.

System Programmer said he had installed "WMQ 5.3.1"
but i am looking for a command like "mqver" or "dspmqver" which displays the version and CSD level applied. |

IIRC the queue manager echos it to console when it starts. Not sure how much use that is to you though. Don't remember a command to show it, but it's been a while.
Frankly it's so much effort to change mainframe software you don't need such things. Changing versions is a major news event & everybody knows....!
With luck, someone with more recent expereince will be along in a minute. Out of morbid interest, why do you want it?

This is for documentation purpose. We need to write a document to configure exits. The command/utility provided in the document helps end users to configure exits.
In that document, end users need to configure exits only if a particular version of WMQ is installed.
I tried searching in google... but hadn't much luck.. pls help 
Thanks,
Prince |

Bizarre! 
Like I said, I don't remember any such a command. But it's been a while.

Display level where, on a MQ client end of a z/OS queue manager?
Most client connected tools like WMQTool can show the z/OS QM level, so presumably one can run standard RUNMQSC type command to show it, something like DISPLAY QMGR ? |

z/OS doesn't use CSDs or FixPacks.
Everything comes as individual APARs. There are equivalent levels to the various CSD/FPs, based on what APARs are installed, but they don't change version numbers of the product or etc. As far as I know.

In the first few lines of the MSTR in SDSF you will see the following:
IEF403I CSQ1MSTR - STARTED - TIME=01.15.22
CSQY000I :CSQ1 IBM WebSphere MQ for z/OS V6
CSQY001I :CSQ1 QUEUE MANAGER STARTING, USING PARAMETER MODULE CSQZPARM
CSQ3111I :CSQ1 CSQYSCMD - EARLY PROCESSING PROGRAM IS V6 LEVEL 003-005
This will tell you the version, and the level of the early code.
If you want to know specific service levels (ie. PTFs applied) then you will need to know your way around SMP/E. Or, better yet, ask the person who applies your maintenance 
There is no "command" to get the version and service level on z/OS.

I was not able to find the service level.. but,
I was able find version level information from 'SYSLOG" in IOF and also in SYSPRINT log of CSQUTIL utility.
Thanks for your help |

MQ command:
.cpf DISPLAY QMGR CMDLEVEL
Results:
CSQM201I &MQD0 CSQMDRTC DIS QMGR DETAILS 050
QMNAME(MQD0)
CMDLEVEL(600)
END QMGR DETAILS
This indicates the function level of the queue manager....but basically V6 of MQ in this case. I use this command in a REXX at MQM startup to load a Notes database (via an email) with specifics about the z/OS MQM so we maintain an automated inventory.
Maintenance level only by a SMP query - is my only thought. |
