Hello,
I'm looking for an easy way to export all messages (several thousands) of a queue to some other place (filesystem?) with the possibility to import them again later.
Any hints ?
Thanks in advance,
Barbara Schelkle |

Well there are several products out there that will let you do it.
Qpasa, contact admin, PQedit(Candle) or are you looking for something else ????

Do I really need a thirdparty product ? Or is there a way to do this with standard MQSeries tools (V5.2 on Sun Solaris) ? Or with some kind of freeware ? I found MQJExplorer, but it's no longer available.
thanks in advance, Barbara |

No you dont need a third party, you could take one of the MQSeries
samples and modify it to write/read a file instead of writing to stdout.

You can also try Roger Lacroix's beta program available in the software repository. I think it does all the operations you are speaking of...

Well, you can take the wild west approach, and at least on UNIX, make a copy of the "q" file, and you can restore it later by copying back in place (with the queue manager stopped). This isn't the recommended way however  but under the right conditions it will work...

I've found this to be successful on NT & W2K also ... yeeeeha, circle campers etc. However the queue manager runs a lot slower working with the restored messages...

One of our developers did exactly what Jeff hinted up above. He modified the sample IBM code in /opt/mqm/samp/bin to handle his messages that were actually bigger than what the original program could handle.
Normally, we use BMC Patrol and we can quickly "unload" the messages to a temporary queue or file, which we can later upload to whichever queue we want. |

Hi Everybody,
Can somebody tell me that If I want to setup my wait interval for 30 seconds, is it going to be 3,000 or 30,000 FIGURE?
THANX |

You need to give wait time is msecs, so the value should be 30,000 for a wait time of 30 secs.

Did you get a solution for it ???? If so what ?? If not what are u considering ??
For your Info.. We have QMGRS on Unix Systems, I have implemented a support pannel (using Shell Scripts, and C progs with MQI calls) which can backup messages in a queue to a file or to another queue. But when it is writing it to a file I write each message as a separate file bcos it is easier in our scenario to pickup the selected message and put back to queue in any order.. !!!
All I did is my own coding in C with MQI calls MQGET, MQPUT etc.. and no third party ( after all the third party stuff is also gonna do the same with some Cosmetic GUI screens ).. It just took only one day for me to completely, test & implement this Message Copy , Move , Backup stuff.
If you are insisting on a thirdparty / supportpac , there is one stuff called "Q" program which can do copy , move messages between queues and also export messages to file , but it puts all messages into one single file!!! But now if you want to put the messages back into the queue from the backup file , U will end up in problems as this Q program assumes each line in the file as one single message and total no. of messages would be equal to total lines in file , thus distorting ur messages and creating a big mess.
This is the reason why resorted to my own stuff.
Try it out. its all pretty simple..!!!
