Copy message from one queue to another – IBM MQ


Working as an MQ administrator, you may often have to copy the messages from one queue to another queue for troubleshooting.
Use dmpmqmsg to copy MQ message
Copying messages from one queue to another is possible with an inbuilt program called dmpmqmsg
in IBM MQ8. In this article, I will explain how to do so.
Scenario – copy a message from LOCAL.Q1 to LOCAL.Q2 in CHANDAN.QMGR
I have one message in LOCAL.Q1 now
dis ql(LOCAL.Q1) curdepth 1 : dis ql(LOCAL.Q1) curdepth AMQ8409: Display Queue details. QUEUE(LOCAL.Q1) TYPE(QLOCAL) CURDEPTH(1)
To copy, I will use dmpmqmsg
program.
dmpmqmsg –m QMGR –i SOURCE.QUEUE –o TARGET.QUEUE
-bash-4.2$ ./dmpmqmsg -m CHANDAN.QMGR -i LOCAL.Q1 -o LOCAL.Q2 5724-H72 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 2015. WebSphere MQ Queue Load/Unload Utility Read - Files: 0 Messages: 1 Bytes: 39 Written - Files: 0 Messages: 1 Bytes: 39 -bash-4.2$
The message is copied from LOCAL.Q1 to LOCAL.Q2.
Let’s verify them.
dis ql(LOCAL.Q2) curdepth 1 : dis ql(LOCAL.Q2) curdepth AMQ8409: Display Queue details. QUEUE(LOCAL.Q2) TYPE(QLOCAL) CURDEPTH(1)
So you see the message is copied to LOCAL.Q2 now.
