				This is required after the queue manager has ended abnormally and before it's restarted. 
 
 
This command removes all shared memory resources and semaphores that belong to user mqm:
 
 
   
	| Code: | 
   
  
	
 
ipcs -a | grep mqm | awk '{printf( "-%s %s ", $1, $2 )}' | xargs ipcrm
 
 |

So, Is there a way to identify which mqm shared memory resources and semaphores belong to a given queue manager. I would like to find out how to clean up the remaining shared resources for just one of the queue managers running on the server. _________________ Dave Krier

				Try looking at the amqiclen utility.  However, I don't believe it is documented and I think it has a disclaimer about only running it if directed by IBM support.  You can run it with amqiclen -help to get a brief usage message.  The program will hang unless you pipe in the mqs.ini file:
 
 
amqiclen -v -c -m QmgrName < /var/mqm/mqs.ini |

				NOTE -c only does a check... It does NOT remove any resources.  
 
 
  amqiclen  -v   -c   -m qmgrname   < /var/mqm/mqs.ini
 
   .
 
   -v = verbose
 
   -c = check only (does not ipcrm anything)
 
   -m = only to clear up named queue manager _________________ Dave Krier

				amqiclen -m MQMgrName -vix
 
Usage: ./amqiclen {-c | -x} -c = check -x = destroy
 
[-m <qmgr> | -s] -m = queue manager. -s = system subpool
 
[-p <prefix>] qmgrs directory Prefix (/var/mqm)
 
[-q] queue manager subpool
 
[-i] IPCC subpool
 
[-o] persistent queue manager subpool
 
[-t] trace control
 
[-F] Force (deleted active segments)
 
[-v] verbose
 
[-h] headings
 
[-d] display remaining resources
 
 
The options in detail are:
 
 
-c: check IPC only, do not remove
 
-x: remove IPC. Only IPC owned by mqm is removed.
 
Note that these options are mutually exclusive; one or the other must be 
 
selected.
 
 
-m QMGR: check/remove IPC on qmgr QMGR
 
-s: check/remove IPC in the system subpool, i.e. the qmgr @SYSTEM
 
-p prefix: search for qmgr data in directory prefix (default /var/mqm)
 
-q: IPC in qmgr subpool only, i.e. shm/sem dirs in the qmgrs/QMGR dir
 
-i: IPC in IPCC subpool only, i.e. shm/sem dirs in the qmgrs/QMGR/@ipcc dir
 
-o: IPC in qmpersist subpool only, i.e. shm/sem dirs in the 
 
qmgrs/QMGR/@qmpersist dir directory. The directories are shmem esem isem 
 
msem ssem
 
-t: Trace control shm/sem, keyed from /var/mqm/errors
 
-F: Force removal. Normal operation is not to remove IPC which is in 
 
use. This is determined by checking the processes using a semaphore, or 
 
the number of processes attached to a shared memory segment. This flag 
 
bypasses these checks
 
-v: Where appropriate, print output showing the progress of the utility
 
-h: Print headings in the output
 
-d: Run the commands ipcs -m and ipcs -s
 
 
Further notes
 
In the above I refer to "IPC .. keyed from files..". This means that the 
 
key of a semaphore set or shared memory segment is derived from the 
 
inode of a file or directory in the MQ directory tree.
 
Note that the -m | -s flags are not mandatory. If both flags are 
 
omitted, amqiclen checks (removes) IPC from all directories found in the 
 
prefix/qmgrs
 
 
The arguments conform to the usual UNIX rules for parsing the command 
 
line. The options may be specified separately, e.g. amqiclen -c -v -h -t 
 
-m QMGR, or they may be concatenated until an option is reached that 
 
requires a further argument, e.g. amqiclen -cvhtmQMGR has the same effect. _________________ Yes, I am an agent of Satan but my duties are largely ceremonial. |

				The input redirect from /var/mqm/mqs.ini is old syntax, and is no longer required.
 
amqiclen is fully supported by IBM, and you can raise defects/APARs against the utility. |

				Hello,
 
 
Is there any way to run amqiclen utility or any other non- IBM utility that cleans shared memory segments/semaphores without stopping a queue manager?
 
 
Thanks in advance.

				You wouldn't want to remove MQ shared memory for a running queue manager.
 
 
You'd probably crash the QM. _________________ I am *not* the model of the modern major general. |

				I want to recover SYSTEM.ADMIN.ACCOUNTING.QUEUE in MQ by using UNIX server.
 
 
I gave command "rcrmqobj -m QUEUE MANAGER NAME -t SYSTEM.ADMIN.ACCOUNTING QUEUE"
 
 
But it's throwing an error - AMQ7027 " -Arguments supplied for RCRMQOBJ are not valid
 
                                     - AMQ7024 " Arguments supplied -t is not valid
 
 
Can any one help me on this issue, its' urgent.

-t is type, and SYSTEM.ADMIN.ACCOUNTING.QUEUE is not a type, it's the name of an object type...
 
 
...read the examples given in the Info Centre for that command. _________________ It's puzzling, I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this before...and it's hard to soar like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys. |

				First, please don't use a years-old post; rather, create a new one.
 
 
Second, go to google, and research the syntax and parameters for the rcrmqobj supplied control program.  You are incorrectly specifying the -t switch. _________________ I like deadlines. I like to wave as they pass by.
