Required parameters

ServiceName (MQCFST)

Service name (parameter identifier: MQCA_SERVICE_NAME).

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

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

The maximum length of the string is MQ_OBJECT_NAME_LENGTH.

Optional parameters

IntegerFilterCommand (MQCFIF): Integer filter command descriptor. The parameter identifier must be any integer type parameter allowed in ServiceAttrs 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, you cannot also specify a string filter using the StringFilterCommand parameter.

ServiceAttrs (MQCFIL)

Service attributes (parameter identifier: MQIACF_SERVICE_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_ALTERATION_DATE: Date on which the definition was last altered.
MQCA_ALTERATION_TIME: Time at which the definition was last altered.
MQCA_SERVICE_DESC: Description of service definition.
MQCA_SERVICE_NAME: Name of service definition.
MQCA_SERVICE_START_ARGS: Arguments to be passed to the service program.
MQCA_SERVICE_START_COMMAND: Name of program to run to start the service.
MQCA_SERVICE_STOP_ARGS: Arguments to be passed to the stop program to stop the service.
MQCA_STDERR_DESTINATION: Destination of standard error for the process.
MQCA_STDOUT_DESTINATION: Destination of standard output for the process.
MQCA_SERVICE_START_ARGS: Arguments to be passed to the service program.
MQIA_SERVICE_CONTROL: When the queue manager must start the service.
MQIA_SERVICE_TYPE: Mode in which the service is to run.

StringFilterCommand (MQCFSF): String filter command descriptor. The parameter identifier must be any string type parameter allowed in ServiceAttrs except MQCA_SERVICE_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.
