dmpmqcfg

Purpose

Use the dmpmqcfg command to dump the configuration of WebSphere MQ queue managers. If any default object has been edited, the -a option must be used if the dumped configuration will be used to restore the configuration.

The dmpmqcfg utility dumps only subscriptions of type MQSUBTYPE_ADMIN, that is, only subscriptions that are created using the MQSC command DEFINE SUB or its PCF equivalent. The output from dmpmqcfg is a runmqsc command to enable the administration subscription to be re-created. Subscriptions that are created by applications using the MQSUB MQI call of type MQSUBTYPE_API are not part of the queue manager configuration, even if durable, and so are not dumped by dmpmqcfg. MQTT channels will only be returned for types -t all and -t mqttchl if the telemetry (MQXR) service is running. For instructions on how to start the telemetry service, see Administering IBM® WebSphere® MQ Telemetry.

Optional Parameters

-?

Inquire the usage message for dmpmqcfg.

-c

Force a client mode connection. If the -c parameter is qualified with the option default, the default client connection process is used. If -c is omitted, the default is to attempt to connect to the queue manager first by using server bindings and then if this fails by using client bindings.

If the option is qualified with an MQSC DEFINE CHANNEL CHLTYPE(CLNTCONN) string then this is parsed and if successful, used to create a temporary connection to the queue manager.

-x [ all | object | authrec | chlauth | sub ]

Filter the definition procedure to show object definitions, authority records, channel authentication records, or durable subscriptions . The default value all is that all types are returned.

-a

Return object definitions to show all attributes. The default is to return only attributes which differ from the defaults for the object type.

-sSeqNumber

Reset channel sequence number for sender, server and cluster sender channel types to the numeric value specified. The value SeqNumber must be in the range 1 - 999999999.

-z

Activate silent mode in which warnings, such as those which appear when inquiring attributes from a queue manager of a higher command level are suppressed.

-n [ * | ObjectName ]

Filter the definitions produced by object or profile name, the object/profile name may contain a single asterisk. The * option can be placed only at the end of the entered filter string.

@class authority records are included in dmpmqcfg output regardless of the object or profile filter specified.

-t

Choose a single type of object for which to export. Possible values are:

Value	Description
all	All object types
authinfo	An authentication information object
channel or chl	A channel
comminfo	A communications information object
lstr or listener	A listener
mqttchl	An MQTT channel
namelist or nl	A namelist
process or prcs	A process
queue or q	A queue
qmgr	A queue manager
srvc or service	A service
topic or top	A topic

-o[ mqsc | 1line | 2line | setmqaut | grtmqmaut ]

Possible values are:

Value	Description
mqsc	Multi-line MQSC that can be used as direct input to runmqsc
1line	MQSC with all attributes on a single line for line diffing
2line	MQSC with output on two lines. The first line is an MQSC command string and the second is a commented version with immutable values.
setmqaut	setmqaut statements for UNIX and Windows queue managers; valid only when -x authrec is specified
grtmqmaut	Linux only; generates iSeries syntax for granting access to the objects.

Note: If you wish to use the option 2line, you must ensure that you have applied APAR IT00612 to your IBM WebSphere MQ Version 7.5 installation.

-q

The name of the reply-to queue used when getting configuration information.

-r

The name of the remote queue manager/transmit queue when using queued mode. If this parameter is omitted the configuration for the directly connected queue manager (specified with the -m parameter) is dumped.

-m

The name of the queue manager to connect to. If omitted the default queue manager name is used.

-w WaitTime

The time, in seconds, that dmpmqcfg waits for replies to its commands.

Any replies received after a timeout are discarded, but the MQSC commands still run.

The check for timeout is performed once for each command reply.

Specify a time in the range 1 through 999999; the default value is 60 seconds.

Timed-out failure is indicated by:

• Nonzero return code to the calling shell or environment.
• Error message to stdout or stderr.

Authorizations

The user must also have MQZAO_CONNECT (+connect) and MQZAO_INQUIRE (+inq) authority for the queue manager, and MQZAO_DISPLAY (+dsp) authority for every object that is requested.

Examples

To make these examples work you need to ensure that your system is set up for remote MQSC operation. See Preparing queue managers for remote administration and Preparing channels and transmission queues for remote administration.
