amqxdbg - what is it, how and why is it used?

[David Awerbuch (BLOOMBERG/ 120 PARK)]

I see program /opt/mqm/bin/amqxdbg - wmq client 7.0.1.4 on AIX - perhaps elsewhere.

Does anyone know what this utility is for and how it is used?

Thanks

Sometimes being an MQ administrator feels like you are playing the Legend of Zelda, where you discover mysterious and cryptic tools like amqrfdm, amqrdbgm, amqxdbg, etc., and you must explore and guess how to use them.

Any chance anyone from the MQ team can thoroughly document their usage? ☺

Now that you've reached level 6 you will be able to wield the power of the -v with all your commands!

Then again choose your author carefully - this is from my unix book :

About your (electronic) self
whoami --- returns your username. Sounds useless, but isn't. You may need to find out who it is who forgot to log out.
finger & .plan files
"of course you can finger yourself, too. That can be useful e.g. as a quick check whether you got new mail". Do 'chmod a+r .plan' if necessary. You should realize that this information is accessible from anywhere in the world, not just to other people on turing.
Really?!
