Hello all,
One of my colleagues executed the following command accidentally:
dmpmqmsg -m QMGR -I QUEUE
As you can see, he forgot to mention the -o (output part) and the message got read from the queue, but is now no where to be seen. Shouldn't this operation have been aborted by the command because of no output/file flag, since there is -p flag if I want to purge message explicitly?
Thanks for any help in advance!  |

There are two flags that control how the input queue is used:-
- -I destructive get
- -i browse
The -p purge flag is to control what happens to messages that don't match any filter you have and would have otherwise been left on the queue when others were (re)moved. You have no filter on the command, so all messages would be worked on by the command and there would have been nothing left to purge.
Your messages are gone, just like they would be if you had run amqsget against the queue.
A good practice to follow would be to take a backup, i.e. a copy, of messages on a queue before you start working on them, just as you would do with files on a file system. Then if you make any mistakes, you can always revert to the backup.
Cheers,
Morag

I would say you are screwed. Your colleague appears to have run it in 'clear queue' mode.
The dmpmqmsg page here says:
| Quote: |
-i or -I Input queue name
The name of the input queue.
Note
Using -i browses the queue, whereas using -I gets messages from the queue. |

Is the colleague still there? I'm asking for a friend who once famously logged on as UNIX superuser and issued rm -r * or some such command.

We've all typed that command while logged on as root and then realized we were at the top of the directory tree rather in the directory we were trying to clear.

If they were persistent messages, you still may have an option to extract them from the log. Consult with IBM, if you want to pursue this further.

This presumes that the now-missing (not-yet processed) messages can be identified (from those that were already processed), and that logs are available at this late date, and ...

A well-written app should be sensitive to missing or duplicate messages, and be able to re-drive the application to compensate.
