Working with MQSeries

Sending a Test Message

To put a test message on your queue use the supplied sample programs. For example, to put messages to a queue called TEST.QUEUE, defined for a queue manager called TEST.QMANAGER, enter the command:

CALL PGM(QMQM/AMQSPUT0) PARM(TEST.QUEUE TEST.QMANAGER)

You can now type a message (a simple character string is sufficient) and press Enter to send the message to the queue. Press Enter again to return to a command line.

To see the message on the queue, either:

vBrowse the queue (see ªBrowsing Queuesº), or

vType CALL PGM(QMQM/AMQSGET4) PARM(TEST.QUEUE TEST.QMANAGER) on a command line.

See ªAppendix A. Sample MQI Programsº on page 99 for a list of the supplied sample programs.

Browsing Queues

To browse the messages on a local queue called TEST.QUEUE, defined for a queue manager called TEST.QMANAGER, use the following command:

WRKMQMMSG MQMNAME(TEST.QMANAGER) QNAME(TEST.QUEUE)

This command displays all messages on the queue, and allows you to view the message contents.

Clearing a Local Queue

To delete all the messages on a local queue called TEST.QUEUE, defined for a queue manager called TEST.QMANAGER, use the following command:

CLRMQMQ MQMNAME(TEST.QMANAGER) QNAME(TEST.QUEUE)

Deleting a Local Queue

To delete a local queue called TEST.QUEUE, defined for a queue manager called TEST.QMANAGER, use the following command:

DLTMQMQ MQMNAME(TEST.QMANAGER) QNAME(TEST.QUEUE)

Note: You must delete all messages from the queue using the CLRMQMQ command before you can delete a queue.

Stopping a Queue Manager

There are two ways of quiescing a queue manager:

1.Either use the command ENDMQM MQMNAME(QMGRNAME), where QMGRNAME is the name of the queue manager, or

2.Enter the command WRKMQM *ALL, enter option 6 (end) against the queue manager name, and then press F4.
