Hey Jeff, Thanks for these references. The replacement tokens certainly provides what I need for the service to be defined identically across multiple queue managers; no need to customize each definition.

The environment variable definitions I had remembered, but I did not want to have to customize each queue manager if not necessary, and the tokens certainly assist there.

Thanks!
Dave

I was going to say that you had to do a lot of this manually, but then I reviewed the section in the 7.5 info center on using Services.

When an instance of a service object is started, a message is written to the queue manager error log containing the name of the service object and the process ID of the started process.

It is possible to define additional environment variables to be set in the environment of the service process by adding the variables you want to define to one of the service.envenvironment override files.

QMNAME
The current queue manager name.

Good stuff!

Thank you,

Hi everyone,

I have a service I want to kick off when the queue manager starts, but that service needs to know which queue manager started it. So ...

1. How can my service know which queue manager launched it?

2. Are any events generated when a service starts or stops? How can I be notified when the service process terminates without the STOP SERVICE command being issued, other than polling for SVSTATUS output?

Thanks,
David
