Use runmqsc to verify commands

 

We can use the runmqsc command to verify MQSC commands on a local queue manager without actually running them. To do this, set the -v flag in the runmqsc command, for example:

runmqsc -v < myprog.in > myprog.out

When you invoke runmqsc against an MQSC command file, the queue manager verifies each command and returns a report without actually running the MQSC commands. This allows you to check the syntax of the commands in your command file. This is particularly important if you are:

• Running a large number of commands from a command file.

• Using an MQSC command file many times over.

The returned report is similar to that shown in Figure 1.

We cannot use this method to verify MQSC commands remotely. For example, if you attempt this command:

runmqsc -w 30 -v jupiter.queue.manager < myprog.in > myprog.out

the -w flag, which you use to indicate that the queue manager is remote, is ignored, and the command is run locally in verification mode. 30 is the number of seconds that WebSphere MQ waits for replies from the remote queue manager.
