Stop Queue Manager

Hi, I am new to iSeries and have just installed MQ V5.3 with CSD06 on a iSeries server. I am looking for a way to automate the normal termination of MQ (queue managers subsystem) when the system is being shut down. Does anyone know how this can be done or do we need some automation tools?

SSL channels and Self Signed certificates

Hi folks, I am setting up a cluster of machines using SSL channels with self-signed certificates (don't ask). It's all on Solaris, so I am using gsk6ikm and gsk6cmd. My channels are defined with mcatype(thread) and I am using the threaded listener. I initially created certificate stores and

Logging Question

All, If we increase the no of files in logging ( circular logging), do we need to recreate the Queue Manager. Thanks Visu. _ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus

Re: SSL channels and Self Signed certificates

Neil, I think you need only a *real* channel stopping: stop channel(XYZ) mode(terminate) because stopped channel status doesn't mean the process 'runmqchl' is stopped. HTH, Tibor Hi folks, I am setting up a cluster of machines using SSL channels with self-signed certificates

Re: Logging Question

You can increase the number of logs but not the log file size. For the change in number of log files (primary or secondary) you need to restart the queue manager Swaminathan Kasiviswanathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: MQSeries List [EMAIL PROTECTED] 21-May-2004 08:00 Please respond to

Re: Logging Question [Deutsche Boerse Systems:Virus checked]

Visu, no, but you have to restart the queuemanager. afaik, the new logs will be allocated when needed, so you may not see them after restarting (maybe this behaviour has changed, but it was like this some times ago). Regards, Stefan

Using runmqsc under cron control

Usha, Have a look at the PCF Manual: http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/html/csqzac03/csqzac03tfrm.htm You can send messages to the command server of a remote QMgr to create your queues. This method is used by many of the admin tools on the market such as QN-AppWatch and is very powerful.

Re: Message Out of Order

Robert, Could you use the Microsoft Task Scheduler to kick off a Cygwin shell (which, in turn, runs your monitoring script)? Actually, can't you use runmqsc from a MS CMD window? You could write a batch job that does the same work as your shell script. Just a couple of ideas for you to try.
