Configuration event generation

Use this page to view the commands that cause configuration events to be generated and to understand the circumstances in which configuration events are not generated

A configuration event message is put to the configuration event queue when the CONFIGEV queue manager attribute is ENABLED and

• any of the following commands, or their PCF equivalent, are issued:
  • DELETE AUTHINFO
  • DELETE CFSTRUCT
  • DELETE CHANNEL
  • DELETE NAMELIST
  • DELETE PROCESS
  • DELETE QMODEL/QALIAS/QREMOTE
  • DELETE STGCLASS
  • DELETE TOPIC
  • REFRESH QMGR

• any of the following commands, or their PCF equivalent, are issued even if there is no change to the object:
  • DEFINE/ALTER AUTHINFO
  • DEFINE/ALTER CFSTRUCT
  • DEFINE/ALTER CHANNEL
  • DEFINE/ALTER NAMELIST
  • DEFINE/ALTER PROCESS
  • DEFINE/ALTER QMODEL/QALIAS/QREMOTE
  • DEFINE/ALTER STGCLASS
  • DEFINE/ALTER TOPIC
  • DEFINE MAXSMSGS
  • SET CHLAUTH
  • ALTER QMGR, unless the CONFIGEV attribute is DISABLED and is not changed to ENABLED

• any of the following commands, or their PCF equivalent, are issued for a local queue that is not temporary dynamic, even if there is no change to the queue.
  • DELETE QLOCAL
  • DEFINE/ALTER QLOCAL

• an MQSET call is issued, other than for a temporary dynamic queue, even if there is no change to the object.

When configuration events are not generated

Configuration events messages are not generated in the following circumstances:

• When a command or an MQSET call fails
• When a queue manager encounters an error trying to put a configuration event on the event queue, in which case the command or MQSET call completes, but no event message is generated
• For a temporary dynamic queue
• When internal changes are made to the TRIGGER queue attribute
• For the configuration event queue SYSTEM.ADMIN.CONFIG.EVENT, except by the REFRESH QMGR command
• For REFRESH/RESET CLUSTER and RESUME/SUSPEND QMGR commands that cause clustering changes
• When Creating or deleting a queue manager
