The Question is:
Is there any way to dump all information about a queue all at once using
GETQUI, rather than having to loop through each GETQUI item? I would like to
be able to take information about queues and be able to rebuild them if I lose
any
queue startup files
Thanks.
The Answer is :
The Compaq Customer Support Center has access to DCL-based tools
that can read off and archive the entire contents of the current
queue database.
A more limited example of processing queue entries iteratively using
f$getqui is included in Ask The Wizard topic (3951).
The tools referenced above are based on f$getqui or sys$getqui, and
the tools particularly use iteratation to read the information from
the queue database. (There exists no mechanism available within
OpenVMS itself to archive a particular queue nor to archive the entire
queue database as a single operation, save for a quescing the queue
system and performing a BACKUP of the queue database.)
Also obviously available is the use of a dedicated site-specific queue
creation and startup command procedure. While this procedure clearly
does not track the entries within the queues, a correctly maintained
DCL command procedure does permit the quick recreation of the queues
themselves.
Existing discussions of the f$getqui lexical include the following
topics: (813), (1240), (2159), (3951), (4546), (4568), (4903), (5188)
(5471), (5567), (5651), (5793), (5982), (6315), (6877), etc.
