Parameter descriptions for DISPLAY QMSTATUS

ALL: Specify this parameter to display all the parameters. If this parameter is specified, any parameters that are requested specifically have no effect; all parameters are still displayed.
This parameter is the default if you do not request any specific parameters.

Requested parameters

Specify one or more parameters that define the data to be displayed. The parameters can be specified in any order, but do not specify the same parameter more than once.

ARCHLOG

Name of the oldest log extent for which the queue manager is waiting for archive notification. This parameter is:

Available only on queue managers using archive log management.
Blank, if the queue manager is not using archive log management, or if the queue manager has no extents waiting for notification.

[IBM i] This parameter is not valid on IBM® i.

ARCHSZ

The amount of space occupied, in megabytes, by log extents no longer required for restart or media recovery, but waiting to be archived.

Note that this value impacts the total space used by the queue manager for log extents.

This parameter is available only on queue managers using archive log management. If the queue manager is not using archive log management, this parameter is zero.

[IBM i] This parameter is not valid on IBM i.

CHINIT

The status of the channel initiator reading SYSTEM.CHANNEL.INITQ. It is one of the following:

STOPPED: The channel initiator is not running.
STARTING: The channel initiator is in the process of initializing and is not yet operational.
RUNNING: The channel initiator is fully initialized and is running.
STOPPING: The channel initiator is stopping.

CMDSERV

The status of the command server. It is one of the following:

STOPPED: The command server is not running.
STARTING: The command server is in the process of initializing and is not yet operational.
RUNNING: The command server is fully initialized and is running.
STOPPING: The command server is stopping.

CONNS

The current number of connections to the queue manager.

CURRLOG

The name of the log extent being written to at the time that the DISPLAY QMSTATUS command is processed. If the queue manager is using circular logging, and this parameter is explicitly requested, a blank string is displayed.

INSTDESC

Description of the installation associated with the queue manager.

INSTNAME

Name of the installation associated with the queue manager.

INSTPATH

Path of the installation associated with the queue manager.

LDAPCONN

The status of the connection to the LDAP server. It is one of the following:

CONNECTED: The queue manager currently has a connection to the LDAP server.
ERROR: The queue manager attempted to make a connection to the LDAP server and failed.
INACTIVE: The queue manager is not configured to use an LDAP server or has not yet made a connection to the LDAP server.

Note: The LDAPCONN status within DISPLAY QMSTATUS is a single status for the whole queue manager, reflecting only the most recent actions performed with the LDAP server. There are multiple connections to the LDAP server, one per queue manager agent process. LDAPCONN reflects the status from the most recent LDAP connection across the agents of the whole queue manager. If the error is temporary, and quickly clears, then the ERROR status will be short-lived. Always look in the queue manager error logs to see more details of any LDAP connectivity failures.

LOG

Specify this parameter to display all the LOG parameters. If this parameter is specified, any LOG parameters that are requested specifically have no effect; all parameters are still displayed.

LOGINUSE

The percentage of the primary log space in use for restart recovery at this point in time.

A value of 100 or greater indicates the queue manager might have allocated, and be using, secondary log files, probably due to long-lived transactions at this point in time.

[IBM i] This parameter is not valid on IBM i.

LOGPATH

Identifies the directory where log files are created by the queue manager.

LOGUTIL

A percentage estimate of how well the queue manager workload is contained within the primary log space.

If the value is consistently above 100 you might want to investigate whether there are long-lived transactions, or if the number of primary files is not sufficient for the workload.

If the utilization continues to rise, eventually requests for most further operations requiring log activity will be refused, together with an MQRC_RESOURCE_PROBLEM return code being returned to the application. Transactions might be backed out.

[IBM i] This parameter is not valid on IBM i.

MEDIALOG

The name of the oldest log extent required by the queue manager to perform media recovery. If the queue manager is using circular logging, and this parameter is explicitly requested, a blank string is displayed.

MEDIASZ

Size of the log data required for media recovery in megabytes.

This value shows how much log that must be read for media recovery and directly impacts the time taken for this operation.

This is zero for a circular logging queue manager. The size is typically reduced by taking more frequent media images of objects.

[IBM i] This parameter is not valid on IBM i.

QMNAME

The name of the queue manager. This parameter is always returned.

RECLOG

The name of the oldest log extent required by the queue manager to perform restart recovery. If the queue manager is using circular logging, and this parameter is explicitly requested, a blank string is displayed.

RECSZ

Size of the log data required for restart recovery in megabytes.

This value shows how much log that must be read for restart recovery and directly impacts the time taken for this operation.

[IBM i] This parameter is not valid on IBM i.

REUSESZ

This attribute is valid only on automatic or archive log management queue managers.

The amount of space occupied, in megabytes, by log extents available to be reused.

This value impacts the total space used by the queue manager for log extents.

The size is automatically managed by the queue manager, but if necessary you can request reductions using the RESET QMGR TYPE(REDUCELOG) command.

[IBM i] This parameter is not valid on IBM i.

STANDBY

Whether a standby instance is permitted. It is one of the following:

NOPERMIT: Standby instances are not permitted.
PERMIT: Standby instances are permitted.

STATUS

The status of the queue manager. It is one of the following:

STARTING: The queue manager is in the process of initializing.
RUNNING: The queue manager is fully initialized and is running.
QUIESCING: The queue manager is quiescing.

STARTDA

The date on which the queue manager was started (in the form yyyy-mm-dd).

STARTTI

The time at which the queue manager was started (in the form hh.mm.ss).
