As in the plugin documentation for the 'Generate MQSC Cmds', the plugin step provides the ability to have an overwrite file to generate a environment specific definition for the MQ Def.

Is it possible to point to two different overwrite definitions to support the separation of duties, like let the developers provide their overwrite file for the dev / test stages, while for higher stages MQ administrators define the overwrite file?

Many thanks, Dennis

Hi,

The current MQ Plugin only supports DEFINE and DELETE option. But there are many cases where we want to change the property of Queue and this could be easily done using ALTER command.

If we have to define the new Queue, we can use the following command.
DEFINE QLOCAL('TEST.1.TEST01.IN') + DEFSOPT(SHARED) + DESCR('TEST QUEUE') + MAXDEPTH(10000) + MAXMSGL(3100) + NOTRIGGER + TRIGTYPE(NONE)

Similarly if I want to change only 1 attribute example MAXDEPTH, I can execute the below sample ALTER command and it would do the work:

ALTER QLOCAL('TEST.1.TEST01.IN') + MAXDEPTH(10000)

For this similar ALTER command to work, we need to make changes in Groovy code and add the ALTER command as the valid user option.

Could you please check the feasibility as this would really help lot of projects who do not want to DELETE and re define the queue just to make small change which can be easily achieved by using ALTER command.
