Guide for action

Whether you can access messages in the Queue Messages workspaces to perform the described actions that follow depends on certain parameter settings. See Settings for controlling access to WebSphere MQ messages.

Use the Queue Messages workspace to get detailed information about the messages, to delete a message from a queue, or to forward a message to another queue.

After you confirm a message deletion or forwarding operation, a return code and a message are displayed. The value 0 indicates a successful completion. A nonzero value indicates a problem. The workspace is automatically refreshed after you delete or forward a message. For an explanation of nonzero return codes, see IBM® WebSphere® MQ Application Programming Reference.

For detailed instructions about how to delete messages, see Deleting a message from a queue.

For detailed instructions about how to forward messages, see Forwarding a message to another queue.
