Ending and deleting a queue manager by force
ibm-mq
Solution
Do a `ps-ef | grep qmgrname` to find any remaining processes that were running as part of the QMgr or that were attached to the QMgr.
Next, do a `/opt/mqm/bin/amqiclen -x -F -m qmgrname` to get rid of any shared memory segments. The command will fail if you do not provide a fully-qualified path name and try to run it from your `$PATH` or a relative path.
See WebSphere MQ utility amqiclen usage and description for more details.
Problem
Currently I have a queue manager that no matter I do just fails to go away. I am trying to end it and delete it. This is in one of our development servers. Not sure what happened, our server went through host name changes. Currently when I do dspmq, I get: ``` QMNAME(QM_MIT) STATUS(Status not available) ``` endmqm says: ``` AMQ8146: WebSphere MQ queue manager not available. ``` dltmqm says: ``` AMQ8041: The queue manager cannot be restarted or deleted because processes, that were previously connected, are still running. AMQ7018: The queue manager operation cannot be completed. ``` I googled and found that listener needs to be killed, which I did. I am running WebSphere MQ v7.1 on Linux. What else can I do?
