Re: How can I verify an MQ Q is beng used

Alternatively you can look in the journal QMGRLIB/AMQAJRN to determine if a queue is being used.

Find the port and IP address in Netstat and then check to see if the Bytes
Received/Bytes sent values change. Might need quite a bit of time to see
what's happening though.

I guess if you don't see anything going through it doesn't prove it's not
in use - it only proves it has not been in use while you have been watching
(can't prove a negative). Conversely if you see stuff going through you can
conclude it is probably in use.

I am assuming from my answers that you can't use any of the MQ tools to
check this and you don't have anyone you can ask. It would be best to talk
to the MQ Administrator to find out really.

Hi Frank

I haven't done this specifally, and my MQ admin skills are a bit rusty,
but...

You might be able to see what you want just by hunting through Netstat,
otherwise, try checking the definition of the queue to establish what
addresses and ports are defined then monitor those using Netstat to see

if

there is any traffic over them.

Hope this helps.

Hi Folks, is there a way I can learn and verify if an MQ Q is actually
being used? How have you folks done that?
Thanks, Frank
