Why cant I pipe into runmqsc?

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I tried using cat /opt/mqm/samp/amqscos0.txt | sudo -u mqm runmqsc COLIN and it failed, complaining about su syntax.

I solved it by

sudo -u mqm cat /opt/mqm/samp/amqscos0.txt | sudo -u mqm runmqsc COLIN

Easy when you know how!

I retired from IBM where I worked on MQ on z/OS, and did customer stuff. I retired, and keep my hand in with MQ, by playing with it!

  1. This may work as well:

    sudo -u mqm “runmqsc COLIN < opt/mqm/samp/amqscos0.txt"

    The quotes may not be required, I do my have sudo to try with.

  2. When I run the original command, it works fine, apart from having to use the extension ‘.tst’ instead of ‘.txt’.

    I’d be curious to know what error you got!
