You might want to view the status of a WebSphere® MQ
link or its components because you intend to stop the WebSphere MQ
link and you want to see if there are any messages currently held
on it, or you are about to delete the WebSphere MQ
link and you have to verify there are no messages on it, or messages
have not arrived at their expected destination and you want to check
if they are being held, pending transmission over the WebSphere MQ
link.
About this task
To view the status of a WebSphere MQ
link, use the administrative console to complete the following steps.
Note: If
you attempt to start a
WebSphere MQ sender
channel that is already in RUNNING state, the
WebSphere Application Server administrative
console might occasionally incorrectly report the channel status as
INACTIVE. If this happens, you can ignore the error because the channel
is still running. To return the channel status to RUNNING, stop and then restart the channel.
