The Question is: Is there any way to dump all information about a queue all at once using GETQUI, rather than having to loop through each GETQUI item? I would like to be able to take information about queues and be able to rebuild them if I lose any queue startup files Thanks. The Answer is : The Compaq Customer Support Center has access to DCL-based tools that can read off and archive the entire contents of the current queue database. A more limited example of processing queue entries iteratively using f$getqui is included in Ask The Wizard topic (3951). The tools referenced above are based on f$getqui or sys$getqui, and the tools particularly use iteratation to read the information from the queue database. (There exists no mechanism available within OpenVMS itself to archive a particular queue nor to archive the entire queue database as a single operation, save for a quescing the queue system and performing a BACKUP of the queue database.) Also obviously available is the use of a dedicated site-specific queue creation and startup command procedure. While this procedure clearly does not track the entries within the queues, a correctly maintained DCL command procedure does permit the quick recreation of the queues themselves. Existing discussions of the f$getqui lexical include the following topics: (813), (1240), (2159), (3951), (4546), (4568), (4903), (5188) (5471), (5567), (5651), (5793), (5982), (6315), (6877), etc.
