Displaying MQ status and Creating Queue manager using Shell Script.

Displaying MQ status and Creating Queue manager using  Shell Script.




Objective:

I want to create a queue manager if it does not already exist. First of all I will need to use dspq to get a list of existing queue managers and based on command line parameters (queue names) I wish the script to create a queue manage only if it does not already exist otherwise exit with a message similar to "queue manager already exists!"



I want to use cut to help me get a list of queue mangers

-bash-3.1$ man cut

SYNOPSIS
cut [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION
Print selected parts of lines from each FILE to standard output.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options
too.

-b, --bytes=LIST
select only these bytes

-c, --characters=LIST
select only these characters

-d, --delimiter=DELIM
use DELIM instead of TAB for field delimiter

-f, --fields=LIST
select only these fields; also print any line that contains no
delimiter character, unless the -s option is specified


-bash-3.1$ dspmq
QMNAME(venus.queue.manager) STATUS(Ended normally)
QMNAME(my.queue.manager) STATUS(Ended normally)

delimit by the '(' symbol and only return column 1

-bash-3.1$ dspmq | grep -v Running | cut -d '(' -f1
QMNAME
QMNAME

remove left bracket
delimit by the '(' symbol and return only columns 2 and 3

-bash-3.1$ dspmq | grep -v Running | cut -d '(' -f2,3
venus.queue.manager) STATUS(Ended normally)
my.queue.manager) STATUS(Ended normally)

remove the right bracket from the line above
delimit by the ')' symbol and return only column 1, what we do is the first cut then pipe to the second cut

-bash-3.1$ dspmq | grep -v Running | cut -d '(' -f2,3 | cut -d ')' -f1
venus.queue.manager
my.queue.manager

we now have a list of queue managers, we can loop through to get status and customise out dspmq listing. There are other ways of using dspmq with sed & awk see following link.

sample script called qstatus.sh



#!/bin/bash
dspmq | grep -v Running | cut -d '(' -f2,3 | cut -d ')' -f1 | while read qmgr
do
status=`dspmq -m $qmgr | cut -d '(' -f2,3 | cut -d ')' -f2 | cut -d '(' -f2`
echo $qmgr is $status
done

qstatus.sh

-bash-3.1$ ./status.sh
venus.queue.manager is Ended normally
my.queue.manager is Ended normally

We now have figured out a way to list queues, what we want to do now is use these skills to provide our solution.

Final script solution:

createq.sh

#!/bin/bash
# BASH Functions file
# Filename: createq.sh
# Tested on OS: Linux, Fedora 6
# Author: Steve Robinson
# Date Created: February 2008
# Arguments: Queue Manager Name
# Description: This script create a new queue manager if it does not already exist
# if it already exists it displays the queue manager status
# Version: 1.0
# History:-
# 01-February-2008 - version 1.0 - Created.
# 02-February-2008 - version 1.1 - Updated, added -o to grep for unique match, otherwise finds subsets
