dspmqfls (display file names)

Use the dspmqfls command to display the real file system name for all IBM® MQ objects that match a specified criterion. You can use this command to identify the files associated with a particular object. This command is useful for backing up specific objects.

See Understanding IBM MQ file names for information about name transformation.

Syntax

Required parameters

GenericObjName: The name of the object. The name is a string with no flag and is a required parameter. Omitting the name returns an error.
This parameter supports an asterisk (*) as a wildcard at the end of the string.

Optional parameters

-m QMgrName

The name of the queue manager for which to examine files. If you omit this name, the command operates on the default queue manager.

-t ObjType

The object type. The following list shows the valid object types. The abbreviated name is shown first followed by the full name.

Table 1. Valid object types.
Object Type	Description
* or all	All object types; this parameter is the default
authinfo	Authentication information object, for use with TLS channel security
channel or chl	A channel
clntconn or clcn	A client connection channel
catalog or ctlg	An object catalog
namelist or nl	A namelist
listener or lstr	A listener
process or prcs	A process
queue or q	A queue or queues matching the object name parameter
qalias or qa	An alias queue
qlocal or ql	A local queue

Note:

The dspmqfls command displays the name of the directory containing the queue, not the name of the queue itself.
On AIX® and Linux®, you must prevent the shell from interpreting the meaning of special characters, for example, an asterisk (*). The way you do this depends on the shell you are using. It may involve the use of single quotation marks, double quotation marks, or a backslash.
