Hi,
I am using the following code to check for MQ Manager upstatus.

IBM.WMQ.MQQueueManager lObjMQManager = new IBM.WMQ.MQQueueManager(lStrQueueManagerName, lStrChannelName, lStrConnName);
                    if (lObjMQManager.OpenStatus == true)
                    {
                        lBoonIsConnected = true;
                        lObjMQManager.Disconnect();
                        lObjMQManager.Close();
                        lObjMQManager = null;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        lBoonIsConnected = false;
                    }

But I want to know whether Queue is up or not. How can I achive this. Is there any sample message that I can send and check like below…

lObjQueue.Put(lObjQueueMessage, lObjQueuePutMessageOptions);

is there any way for this..
Please help.
Thanks

I would suggest that you call the CreationDateTime property for the queue, as I believe that if the queue is dead it will throw a MQException error

C#

try
{
  DateTime t = lObjQueue.CreationDateTime;
  ...
}
catch(MQException ex)
{
  // Log error
  ... 
}
