We will list some of the useful mq commands which we use regularly during day to day operations .

1.Create QMGR

crtmqm QMGRNAME

2.display QMGR status

dspmq

3.display MQ version ,Instance Name ,Binary path ,Data Path etc

dspmqver

4.Create Queue

DEFINE QLOCAL(QNAME)

5.Create Listener

DEFINE LISTENER(LISTERNAME) PORT(PORTNO) TRPTYPE(TCP)

6.Stopping qmgr

endmqm QMGRNAME

7.Delete QMGR

14.Display CURDEPTH & MAXDEPTH property of the queue

DIS QL(Queue Name) CURDEPTH MAXDEPTH
CURDEPTH stands for Current depth of the particular queue and MAXDEPTH stands for Maximum depth of the particular queue

15.Working with Persistent queue

ALTER QL(Queue Name) DEFPSIST(YES)
  The above command is to Alter the localqueue along with Persistence
  DIS QL(Queue Name) DEFPSIST The above command is to Display the local queue along with Persistence
  Note : Put some messages using amqsput command and re-start queue manager Messages will be present

16.Working with Dead Letter queue

DEF QL(QM1DLQ) DEFPSIST(YES) MAXDEPTH(1000000)     MAXMSGL(41943040)
Assign DLQ to queue manager  ALT QMGR DEADQ(QM1DLQ)
To display DLQ  DIS QMGR DEADQ

17.Command to create Alias Queue

DEFINE QA (Queue Name) TARGQ(Queue Name),
  Example: DEF QA (IN) TARGETQ(INDIA)

18.Command to display Alias Queue

DIS QA( IN)   DIS QA(*) : Will display all Alias queues of the queue manager

19.Command to create Remote Queue

DEF QR (Queue Name)
  Example : DEF QR (QR1) 
; Command to display Remote queue    DIS QR( QR!)   DIS QR(*) : Will display all Remote queues of the queue manager

20.Want to put test n number of Test messages using script

#!/bin/bash
 for i in `seq 10` ; do
  echo "Sending $i message"
  echo "Test MSG $i" |/opt/mqm/samp/bin/amqsput TESTQ IBMMQ.QM1 >/dev/null 2>&1
 done 
Save above script as put.sh and execute . Refer below output.

22.Display properties of the queue manager

DIS QMGR
	DIS is the command to “display” the properties of the QueueManager like Trigger Interval, Max Handles, Max message length,TCP port  etc.

23.Delete queue

DELETE QL(Queue Name) --> Throw an error if queue is not empty, so first clear the queue, then delete.
	CLEAR QL(Queue Name)

24.Display Local queue where curdepth greater than 1

dis ql(*) where ( cudepth gt 1 )

25.Checking all channel status

dis chs(*)
