Displaying information about CICS-MQ connections
You can obtain basic information or detailed statistics about the CICS®-MQ connection, depending on the information that you require and the environment in which you are currently working.
You can use the CEMT or EXEC CICS INQUIRE commands, the CICS-MQ adapter control panels, the CKQC DISPLAY command, or CICSPlex® SM to display information about the connection. Each method produces a set of information selected for that environment. The following table shows the items of information that are available with each method:
| Information | INQUIRE MQCONN using CEMT or in application | CICS-MQ adapter control panels | CKQC DISPLAY from command line or in application | CICSPlex SM views |
