This is the time when the definition was last changed. The format of the time is HH.MM.SS using the 24-hour clock, with a leading zero if the hour is less than 10 (for example 09.10.20).
  • On z/OS®, the time is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), subject to the system clock being set accurately to GMT.
  • In other environments, the time is local time.

The values of certain attributes (for example, CurrentQDepth) change as the queue manager operates. Changes to these attributes do not affect AlterationTime.

To determine the value of this attribute, use the MQCA_ALTERATION_TIME selector with the MQINQ call. The length of this attribute is given by MQ_TIME_LENGTH.
