I wrote the following script to go with MS03
| Code: |
#!/bin/ksh
# saveqmgr.sh
# backup MQ objects
Qmgr=$1
Retention=$2
echo
echo
echo QueueManager=$Qmgr Retention=$Retention
echo
echo
Today=$(/usr/bin/date +"%d%b%Y")
#
# Backup MQ objects and setauth settings
#
BackupDir='/var/mqm/config/backup'
mkdir -p $BackupDir
# Check to see if QMGR is running
Running=`dspmq|grep $Qmgr|grep Running|wc -l`
if [[ $Running -eq 0 ]]
then
exit
fi
/var/mqm/config/saveqmgr -m $Qmgr -o -f $BackupDir'/'$Qmgr.MQSC.$Today -z $BackupDir'/'$Qmgr.AUT.$Today
cp /var/mqm/qmgrs/mqs.ini $BackupDir/mqs.ini.$Today
cp /var/mqm/qmgrs/$Qmgr/qm.ini $BackupDir/$Qmgr.qm.ini.$Today
#
# delete old backup
#
if [[ $Retention = '' ]]; then
Retention=45
fi
find $BackupDir/$Qmgr.MQSC.* -mtime +$Retention -exec rm -f {} \;
find $BackupDir/$Qmgr.AUT.* -mtime +$Retention -exec rm -f {} \;
find $BackupDir/$Qmgr.qm.ini.* -mtime +$Retention -exec rm -f {} \;
find $BackupDir/mqs.ini.* -mtime +$Retention -exec rm -f {} \;
|
Of course, this is fine when the QMGR data path is the default. But sometimes it is not in the default path and the mqs.ini file contains the path. I was wondering if somebody had a handy way to get the path out of mqs.ini file in a easily consumable form. Too bad dspmq does not have an option for that. |

You can still backup qm.ini and mqs.ini even if the qmgr is not running.
/var/mqm is not a particularly good place to store backups as its the same file system which contains the MQ data you are backup up!
There is other MQ stuff which can be backed up too, such as exits, SSL info, mqm's crontab, custom scripts.
You should also check that system backups include all MQ data. /var/mqm backups are really only useful if they are taken while the queue managers are down.

you could try and use dspmqfls... each queue manager should have a default local queue, so
dspmqfls -m YourQMGR -t queue SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE
gives you the location of the queue file and so the path to the qmgr data.

Hi Mike,
that's a nice way, i didn't even know of dspmqfls.
To get a value out of an ini file i always use Heiner Steven's cfget shell script:

Here is a snippet:
| Code: |
whatpath=`cfget .../qm.ini LogPath`
echo $whatpath

A friend suggested:
dspmqinf <qmgrname>|grep DataPath
Which will have the full path or be blank if default. This needs to work even if the QMGR is not running (even though you cannot run saveqmgr). Too bad we can't retrofit MQ V6 to have the dspmqinf... Would be good for the HA environments. |
