Check whether the application is getting messages off the queue

If we have a problem with a queue and the application that services that queue, check whether the application is getting messages off the queue

About this task

To check whether the application is getting messages off the queue, perform the following checks:

Procedure

1. Ensure that the application that is running against the queue is actually processing messages from the queue. Issue the following command:

   DISPLAY QSTATUS(Q1) TYPE(QUEUE) ALL
   

   In the output, look at the LGETDATE and LGETTIME fields which show when the last get was done from the queue.
2. If the last get from this queue was longer ago than expected, ensure that the application is processing messages correctly. If the application is a channel, check whether messages are moving through that channel
