If you are not sure what a Topic is, check out our Getting Started tutorial. These examples are based on Linux.
In this example, MANAGER01 is the name of the queue manager. If you are not sure the name of the queue manager, use the dspmq command to display the queue managers. This assumes that the "mqm" users .bash_profile has been updated to have PATH=$PATH:<root installation directory>/bin.
Display all of the topics in the queue manager.
echo "display topic (*)" | runmqsc MANAGER01
Following is an example of what will be displayed.
AMQ8409I: Display topic details.
TOPIC(TOPIC01) TYPE(LOCAL)
AMQ8409I: Display topic details.
TOPIC(SYSTEM.ADMIN.TOPIC) TYPE(LOCAL)
To display the configuration of a particular topic.
echo "display topic ('TOPIC01')" | runmqsc MANAGER01
Following is an example of what will be displayed.
