Inquire Namelist

The Inquire Namelist (MQCMD_INQUIRE_NAMELIST) command inquires about the attributes of existing WebSphere® MQ namelists.

Required parameters:: NamelistName
Optional parameters:: CommandScope, IntegerFilterCommand, NamelistAttrs, QSGDisposition, StringFilterCommand

Required parameters

NamelistName (MQCFST)

Namelist name (parameter identifier: MQCA_NAMELIST_NAME).

This parameter is the name of the namelist with attributes that are required. Generic namelist names are supported. A generic name is a character string followed by an asterisk (*), for example ABC*, and it selects all namelists having names that start with the selected character string. An asterisk on its own matches all possible names.

The namelist name is always returned regardless of the attributes requested.

The maximum length of the string is MQ_NAMELIST_NAME_LENGTH.

Optional parameters

CommandScope (MQCFST)

Command scope (parameter identifier: MQCACF_COMMAND_SCOPE). This parameter applies to z/OS® only.

Specifies how the command is executed when the queue manager is a member of a queue-sharing group. You can specify one of the following:

blank (or omit the parameter altogether). The command is executed on the queue manager on which it was entered.
a queue manager name. The command is executed on the queue manager you specify, providing it is active within the queue sharing group. If you specify a queue manager name other than the queue manager on which it was entered, you must be using a queue-sharing group environment, and the command server must be enabled.
an asterisk (*). The command is executed on the local queue manager and is also passed to every active queue manager in the queue-sharing group.

The maximum length is MQ_QSG_NAME_LENGTH.

You cannot use CommandScope as a parameter to filter on.

IntegerFilterCommand (MQCFIF)

Integer filter command descriptor. The parameter identifier must be any integer type parameter allowed in NamelistAttrs except MQIACF_ALL. Use this parameter to restrict the output from the command by specifying a filter condition. See MQCFIF - PCF integer filter parameter for information about using this filter condition.

If you specify an integer filter for NamelistType (MQIA_NAMELIST_TYPE), you cannot also specify the NamelistType parameter.

If you specify an integer filter, you cannot also specify a string filter using the StringFilterCommand parameter.

NamelistAttrs (MQCFIL)

Namelist attributes (parameter identifier: MQIACF_NAMELIST_ATTRS).

The attribute list might specify the following value on its own - default value if the parameter is not specified:

MQIACF_ALL: All attributes.

or a combination of the following:

MQCA_NAMELIST_NAME: Name of namelist object.
MQCA_NAMELIST_DESC: Namelist description.
MQCA_NAMES: Names in the namelist.
MQCA_ALTERATION_DATE: The date on which the information was last altered.
MQCA_ALTERATION_TIME: The time at which the information was last altered.
MQIA_NAME_COUNT: Number of names in the namelist.
MQIA_NAMELIST_TYPE: Namelist type (valid only on z/OS)

NamelistType (MQCFIN)

Namelist attributes (parameter identifier: MQIA_NAMELIST_TYPE). This parameter applies to z/OS only.

Specifies the type of names in the namelist. The value can be:

MQNT_NONE: The names are of no particular type.
MQNT_Q: A namelist that holds a list of queue names.
MQNT_CLUSTER: A namelist that is associated with clustering, containing a list of the cluster names.
MQNT_AUTH_INFO: The namelist is associated with SSL, and contains a list of authentication information object names.

QSGDisposition (MQCFIN)

Disposition of the object within the group (parameter identifier: MQIA_QSG_DISP). This parameter applies to z/OS only.

Specifies the disposition of the object for which information is to be returned (that is, where it is defined and how it behaves). The value can be:

MQQSGD_LIVE

The object is defined as MQQSGD_Q_MGR or MQQSGD_COPY. MQQSGD_LIVE is the default value if the parameter is not specified.

MQQSGD_ALL

The object is defined as MQQSGD_Q_MGR or MQQSGD_COPY.

If there is a shared queue manager environment, and the command is being executed on the queue manager where it was issued, this option also displays information for objects defined with MQQSGD_GROUP.

If MQQSGD_LIVE is specified or defaulted, or if MQQSGD_ALL is specified in a shared queue manager environment, the command might give duplicated names (with different dispositions).

MQQSGD_COPY

The object is defined as MQQSGD_COPY.

MQQSGD_GROUP

The object is defined as MQQSGD_GROUP. MQQSGD_GROUP is permitted only in a shared queue environment.

MQQSGD_Q_MGR

The object is defined as MQQSGD_Q_MGR.

MQQSGD_PRIVATE

The object is defined as either MQQSGD_Q_MGR or MQQSGD_COPY. MQQSGD_PRIVATE returns the same information as MQQSGD_LIVE.

You cannot use QSGDisposition as a parameter to filter on.

StringFilterCommand (MQCFSF): String filter command descriptor. The parameter identifier must be any string type parameter allowed in NamelistAttrs except MQCA_NAMELIST_NAME. Use this parameter to restrict the output from the command by specifying a filter condition. See MQCFSF - PCF string filter parameter for information about using this filter condition.
If you specify a string filter, you cannot also specify an integer filter using the IntegerFilterCommand parameter.
