Command event usage

Use this page to view how you can use command events to generate an audit trail of the commands that have run

For example, if an object is changed unexpectedly, information regarding who made the alteration and when it was done can be stored. This can be particularly useful when configuration events are also enabled. If an MQSC or PCF command causes a command event and a configuration event to be generated, both event messages will share the same correlation identifier in their message descriptor.

If a command event message is generated, but cannot be put on the command event queue, for example if the command event queue has not been defined, the command for which the command event was generated still runs regardless.

Effects of CMDSCOPE

For commands where CMDSCOPE is used, the command event message or messages will be generated on the queue manager or queue managers where the command runs, not where the command is entered. However, all the origin and context information in the event data will relate to the original command as entered, even where the command using CMDSCOPE is one that has been generated by the source queue manager.
