Hai All,

I have to get the list of unused queues of a mainframe queue manager which are not used from last 6 weeks.
In the same way i need to list the unused processes as well.

How can i get these lists ??

DISPLAY QSTATUS (on later versions) will give you last get date / last put date. Unused processes can be inferred as processes associated with unused queues.

Or you could use accounting, monitoring, stats, etc.

By following the suggestions in the Monitoring MQ manual, or buying some monitoring software.

Like I said, an unused process is one that belongs to an unused queue.

You can also capture SMF statistics and accounting records for WMQ. This is documented in the WMQ z/OS System Admin and WMQ z/OS System Setup manuals.

Take a look at SupportPac MP1B: WebSphere MQ for z/OS V6.0 (and 5.3.1) - Interpreting accounting and statistics data

Vitor is not quite right here.

My definition of an unused process is a process that shows up in no queue (after unused queue purge)...

dis ql(*) where (process eq myprocessname)

-- object not found --

With Vitor's definition you risk deleting a process that may be common to multiple queues.

Enjoy
