Hi,
Have searched the web, these forums and manuals for the answer to what I thought would be a simple question 
What's the easiest way to move messages between two local queues on the same queue manager? ie, I have 50 messages on L.TEST.1 and I want to move them to L.TEST.2
I read somewhere that some code to do this may be available in a SupportPac but I haven't found anything as yet.
I'm sure I'm going to feel pretty stupid when someone tells me the answer but it's annoying me now!
Thanks,
M |

Stop the qmgr.
Copy the q file from the L.TEST.1 queue directory to the L.TEST.2 dir.
Restart the qmgr. |

Don't do that.
Use support packs like IH03 or MO71.
They will support moving/copying messages from one queue to the other.

on z/OS (unfortunately you did not tell us which os you are using) you can use the MOVE QLOCAL command (if queues are not in use)

Apologies, Solx86.
I downloaded the MA01 supportpac and used 'q' to move the msgs.
./q -m<qmgr> -I<from queue> -o<to queue>
Works..

This a) is intrusive and requires queue manager downtime b) is likely not to work, or work properly c) is unsupported by IBM so any problems will be your business.

I suppose you use "kill -9" to stop the qmgr processes ???
