Real-time Queue Definitions workspace

The Real-time Queue Definitions workspace summarizes the definitions of the queues managed by the selected queue manager. Use it to resolve problems that are caused by incorrectly defined queues.

Predefined views

The Real-time Queue Definitions workspace includes the following predefined views:

  • Real-time Queue Definitions This view summarizes the definitions of the queues managed by the selected queue manager. Information displayed in the table is on-demand data, collected when the workspace is opened or refreshed. Once you have isolated a queue that is causing problems, you can often resolve the problems by modifying its definition. Select a queue from the list to edit its definition. You can also delete messages from a queue by clicking Clear Queue or Purge Queue in the menu when you right-click on the selected queue. The Clear Queue option deletes messages from a queue all together using MQSC command. The Purge Queue option deletes messages from a queue using MQGET.
    Remember:
    • If a row in this table is highlighted in yellow, it indicates that the value of its %Full attribute is greater than zero and the value of its Total Opens attribute is equal to zero.
    • If a row in this table is highlighted in red, it indicates that the value of its %Full attribute is greater than the value of its High Depth Threshold attribute.
  • Queue Definitions Summary shows, as a bar chart, the number of queues by queue type for the selected queue manager. The Queue Definitions Summary chart does not necessarily match the data displayed in the table at the bottom of this workspace. It is intended only to give an overview of data sampled at the queue manager level according to the agent current parameters. The data displayed in the table is on-demand data, collected when the workspace is opened or refreshed, whereas the data on which the chart is based is sampled during standard sampling intervals.

For more information on the attributes listed in the tables of this workspace, see Queue Data attributes.
