How to get a IBM MQ message by Message ID using bash ? is there a tool available?

Looking to get an IBM MQ message by Message ID using bash

Is there a tool readily available ? can any of the bash samples that come MQ installation serve the purpose? Please let me know.

Solution

  • You could issue a CURL command to invoke the REST API in your bash script.

    eg.

    curl -X DELETE --header 'Accept: application/json' 'https://HOST:PORT/ibmmq/rest/v3/messaging/qmgr/QM1/queue/DEV.QUEUE.1/message?messageId=MSGID'

    Substitute

    • MSGID for your message ID
    • HOST for your queue manager address
    • PORT for your queue manager REST port
    • QM1 for the queue manager
    • DEV.QUEUE.1 for the queue
