Hi,

Is it possible to get the trigger status of the MQ. i.e. whether the queue is up/down using batch jcl /rexx? If so sample code snippet will be helpful

Thanks
Raj

Use CSQUTIL to do commands in batch, including the display command.

Hi Bill,

I tried executing the code snippet by changing the PGMs and QMGR, the job had failed with the below message

CSQU000I CSQUTIL IBM WebSphere MQ for z/OS V6
CSQU001I CSQUTIL Queue Manager Utility - 2010-10-08 14:56:53
DISPLAY QUEUE(HP.QMG.MQ.IN45) ALL
CSQU106E Invalid function DISPLAY
CSQU147I CSQUTIL Utility terminated, return code=12

Please help me

Try this version where the SYSIN points to the command on a different DD.

For 4GLs ie. Cobol, PL/1, Natural etc. you can get the trigger information programmatically by calling the MQINQ API passing the appropriate attribute selectors -

attribute selector MQIA-TRIGGER-TYPE (integer value 24) will return 1 for First, 2 for Every, 3 for Depth
attribute selector MQIA-TRIGGER-CONTROL (integer value 28) will return 0 for trigger OFF, 1 for trigger ON

You should be able to do something similar in REXX using RXMQINQ but only one attribute can be inquired upon at a time.

Either way you will have to first open the queue manager for inquiry by calling MQOPEN (RXMQOPEN in REXX) to get an object handle.

PL/1 & COBOL are 3rd generation languages

Ha, yes you're quite right!
