Circular logging. Last log file needed for media recovery not advancing even though i run a rcdimg log clean up script. I see the media images are getting recorded but the qmstatus still shows a log file that is long gone. It is not even there anymore.
how do i get it to advance.
dspmqtrn doesnt show this log file that is pointing to either. |

Was it a typo when you said "Circular logging" or are you truly using circular logging? The reason I ask is because media recovery is not possible on a queue manager using a circular log. If you run the rcdmqimg command, it will tell you that.
Either way can you show us the command and the output of running the rcdmqimg command(s), and the output of MQSC command DISPLAY QMSTATUS ALL
Cheers,
Morag

Are you saying that you manually deleted the now-missing log file?

Ok. Your FS filled. What lead you to decide to delete a log file needed for media recovery? How big was the file?
The recommended practice is to archive (to another FS) log files you lo longer need. Otherwise, you should leave IBMs file system untouched.

What script? What does it do exactly?
Other than reporting a non-existent log, what issue/problem are you facing?

qmgr is running fine. The script runs
rcdmqimgand then IBM cleanlogs
since the media log is pointing to a non existent log file, subsequent log clean up script runs is not cleaning up logs. The FS keeps growing. |

Never liked this one any much. Requires Perl...
Whereas there used to be the MS0L support pack Java archiving of linear logs... Alas it has been retired and doesn't even show up in the retired fix packs any more. I guess they really want to push you towards using the qmgr to archive its own logs...
See TRobs blog on the matter https://t-rob.net/2015/02/22/windows-mq-log-maintenance-that-really-works/

Can you show us your rcdmqimg script? Assume you have not recorded media images for all objects, and thus there is something that still requires the old log file. If you show us the command we might be able to tell you what is missing.
EDIT: Oops, I must have missed it before, I see that you did tell us the command:-

I see that you are using the -l flag which should tell you the log files now required, as part of the output of the command.
Can you show us the output when you run this command? Perhaps that will shed some light.
Cheers,
Morag

we have over 50k queues and the output is an image recorded entry for each of them
at the end it has the below
Media image for object SYSTEM.SELECTION.EVALUATION.QUEUE, type queue recorded.
Media image for object SYSTEM.SELECTION.VALIDATION.QUEUE, type queue recorded.
AMQ7467: The oldest log file required to start queue manager ***** is S1546383.LOG.
AMQ7468: The oldest log file required to perform media recovery of queue manager ***** is S1543204.LOG.
cleanmqlogs: ****: Needed for Media Recovery: S1543204.LOG
cleanmqlogs: ****: Needed for Qmgr Restart: S1546385.LOG
as you can see it is still pointing to the S1543204.LOG |

Are there any of the objects that note an error to record their media image?
Does this command show up anything?
DISPLAY QS(*) WHERE(MEDIALOG EQ S1543204.LOG)
