As you're new, I'll politely point out that double posting is considered rude, and if you find your post is in the wrong section you should ask a moderator to move it.
I'll less politely point out that the answer to a question seldom changes even if you ask it twice, and point you to the answer I gave you here!

No, you need a) a training course and b) some serious time with the manuals. The forum's not a training resource. Imagine being sat down in front of a CICS system with no training; you'd not get far.
Start with the Intercommunication manual, work through the various z/OS manuals (note that there are significant differences between z/OS and distributed platforms in terms of implementation & administration) then skim through the application programming manuals so you've some idea what the app teams are talking about.

Please pay attention to this.
This forum DOES NOT PROVIDE SUPPORT. This forum DOES NOT PROVIDE TRAINING.
Go read the documentation, twice. If there's a piece of the documentation that you don't understand, attempt to design an experiment to assist you with it. If it doesn't work, or if you do not understand why it DOES work, you may get someone to explain a specific, particular piece of things. But you'd likely get a lot of flack if you don't post the full details.
Troubleshooting 101: What is the error message? What does the documentation say about the error message? |

If you are simply curious to see the messages, then use a tool like MQ Explorer, support pac MO71 or IH03, or some other tool.
These will show (optionally) fields from the MQMD (which they do by browsing messages).
If you need to programmatically look at persistence (can't imagine why) then the MQMD (message descriptor) is returned by MQGET.
The MQMD fields are listed in the programming reference manual.
If you need a mainframe specific way of doing this please ask. Most tools will connect to mainframe QMs as a client though. |
