Delete Subscription

The Delete Subscription (MQCMD_DELETE_SUBSCRIPTION) command deletes a subscription.

Required parameters

SubName (MQCFST)

Subscription name (parameter identifier: MQCACF_SUB_NAME).

Specifies the unique subscription name. The subscription name, if provided, must be fully specified; a wildcard is not acceptable.

The subscription name must refer to a durable subscription.

If SubName is not provided, SubId must be specified to identify the subscription to be deleted.

The maximum length of the string is MQ_SUB_NAME_LENGTH.

SubId (MQCFBS)

Subscription identifier (parameter identifier: MQBACF_SUB_ID).

Specifies the unique internal subscription identifier.

You must supply a value for SubId if we have not supplied a value for SubName.

The maximum length of the string is MQ_CORREL_ID_LENGTH.

Optional parameters

CommandScope (MQCFST)

Command scope (parameter identifier: MQCACF_COMMAND_SCOPE). This parameter applies to z/OS® only. Specifies how the command is processed when the queue manager is a member of a queue-sharing group. We can specify one of the following:

• Blank (or omit the parameter altogether). The command is processed on the queue manager on which it was entered.
• A queue manager name. The command is processed on the queue manager you specify, providing it is active within the queue sharing group. If you specify a queue manager name other than the queue manager on which it was entered, you must be using a queue sharing group environment, and the command server must be enabled.
• An asterisk (*). The command is processed on the local queue manager and is also passed to every active queue manager in the queue sharing group.

The maximum length is MQ_QSG_NAME_LENGTH.

We cannot use CommandScope as a parameter on which to filter.
