How do I check the status of the transmission queue and what does it mean if the depth is zero?
For Unix and WindowsNT, use the ‘runmqsc’ command from the command prompt. • runmqsc QMGR where QMGR is the name of the queue manager. Case is important. • Determine the transmission queue name from the destination queue definition using – ‘display q(“destination queue name”) xmitq’. “destination queue name” is the name given on the command line of a requester. For example, ‘cbfxfr FILE DMA.SSAMATCH’. DMA.SSAMATCH is the destination queue name. • Display the transmit queue attribute for current depth. – ‘display q(“transmit queue name”) curdepth’. “transmit queue name” was determined in the previous step. CURDEPTH represents the number of messages in the transmit queue. For MVS, assuming that you have access to the MQ panels in ISPF, navigate to them (ISPF option “MQ”). Once there, ensure that you are accessing the correct queue manager – CSQP – by examining the “Connect to queue manager” value. Change it if necessary by pressing PF6 and overwriting both the “Connect to queue manager a
