The Replace Data Queue command re-creates a data queue with the
existing attributes and authorizations. Because data queues may grow
to be a large size, re-creating the data queue ensures the object is
reset to its base size.
A typical command would be:
RPLDTAQ DTAQ(DTQ1)
The data queue DTQ1 would be replaced using the existing attributes
and authorizations. The existing attributes are retrieved by the
RTVDTAQD TAA Tool.
By default, any existing entries would be copied from a non-keyed
data queue. For keyed data queues, the entries cannot be copied and
you must specify CPYENTRIES(*NO).
Only TYPE(*STD) data queues may be replaced.
You must have *ALL authority to the data queue to replace it.
The default is OWNER(*SAME) meaning the same owner is retained. If
the owner is the group profile of the current user, OWNER(*SAME) may
be used. Otherwise, you must be the owner or have *ALLOBJ special
authority to use OWNER(*SAME).
If the following is true,
- You have *ALLOBJ special authority and
- OWNER(*SAME) is used and
- You are not the owner
You will retain whatever authorities you have to the current version
of the object.
Command parameters *CMD
------------------
DTAQ The qualified name of the data queue to be replaced.
The library value defaults to *LIBL. *CURLIB may
also be used.
OWNER Who should be the owner of the new object. The
default is *SAME, meaning the same owner will exist.
If the owner is the group profile of the current
user, OWNER(*SAME) may be used. Otherwise, you must
be the owner or have *ALLOBJ special authority to
use OWNER(*SAME).
*NEW may be specified to allow you to become the
owner of the data queue. You must have the *ALL
rights to the existing program to specify *NEW.
CPYENTRIES A *YES/*NO value for whether to copy any existing
entries to the new data queue. *YES is the default,
but may only be used for a non-keyed data queue.
For a keyed data queue, you must specify
CPYENTRIES(*NO).
Because of the way the send and receive data queue
APIs operate, the same name data queue cannot be
used during the replace process.
The technique used is to create a temporary data
queue in the TAAWORK library with the attributes of
the existing data queue using a name of Xnnn where
nnn is the 9 digit value from the QTIME system
value. The intent is to provide a temporary unique
name. After receiving all entries and resending
them to the temporary named data queue, the old
version is deleted, the new version is moved to the
same library, and the data queue is renamed to the
original name.
Restrictions
------------
See the previous comments.
Only those parameters retrieved by RTVDTAQD are supported for the
replaced data queue.
Prerequisites
-------------
The following TAA Tools must be on your system:
CHKALLOBJ Check all object
EDTVAR Edit variable
RTVDTAQD Retrieve data queue description
SNDCOMPMSG Send completion message
SNDESCMSG Send escape message
Implementation
--------------
None, the tool is ready to use.
