Hi,

Can anyone say me the significane of dead.letter.queue.I understand this stores the undelivered messages, but my question is whether after deletion of these messages can we re-store them to the same location

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Unless you have made a copy of them to restore, they would be gone.

Suggest you talk with your tech support people to see what options you have available.

These are undeliverable messages that arrive on your server without a valid QUEUE name.

They will sit there until you delete them.

Hi Bill,

but my question is whether after deletion of these messages can we re-store them to the same location

Now that they've been deleted, how to get them back. . .

Hi,

Once you have restored the message from the Dead letter queue, the message will be like any other message. I am presuming you will want to put it back to the main processing queue. You can do a MQPUT back to the main queue.

If you delete the message using CSQUTIL to empty the DLQ you cannot get it back.

If you MQGET the message and delete it from the queue, now you have it in your storage to MQPUT somewhere else. This requires programming.
