AMQ messages on Multiplatforms
The AMQ series of diagnostic messages are listed in this section in numerical order, grouped according to the part of IBM® MQ from which they originate.
Reading a message
- Message identifier
- The message identifier is in three parts:
- The characters "AMQ", which identify the message as being from IBM MQ.
- A four-digit decimal code.
- A suffix letter, indicating the severity of the message (I, W, E, S or T), as
shown in the Severity
list.
The suffix letter is included by default. You can disable the suffix letter, for example, if you have scripts that are dependent on the old message format that did not include the suffix letter, by setting the AMQ_DIAGNOSTIC_MSG_SEVERITY environment variable to 0.
- Message text
- A summary of the message
- Severity
-
0: Informational
10: Warning
20: Error
30: Error
40: Severe
50: Terminating
- Explanation
- An explanation of the message giving further information.
- Response
- The response required from the user. In some cases, particularly for information messages, this might be "No action is required".
Message variables
Some messages display text or numbers that vary according to the circumstances giving rise to the message; these are known as message variables. The message variables are indicated as <insert_1>, <insert_2>, and so on.
In some cases a message might have variables in the Explanation or Response. Find the values of the message variables by looking in the error log. The complete message, including the Explanation and the Response, is recorded there.
