Hi Folks,

I'm hoping someone does this and can tell me....

I've got MQ in openshift. I've run a dmp of queue into a local file. I know need to get that file onto a local machine i.e. my laptop. 
Does anyone have any idea how I would do that??? the MQ container has no tools installed on it eg. ftp et al. I can't seem to install any other tools on to it. So I think I'm a bit stuck !

many thanks for any help !

John.

Have you tried using WinSCP ? (use the ssh port on the MQ server)

Hi John,

You can use "oc cp" from a command line in your computer.

First you need to login into openshift from your Terminal. Then, you just need to run a similar command to this:

oc cp podname:/location /mylocal_location

By example:

oc cp myqme-ibm-mq-0:/tmp/dumpfile /home/andres/dumpfile

In this case i have a linux directory because im using wsl2 on windows. But it could be done from powershell "oc" command.

Hi John,

Theres a couple of ways to grab files from active pods. To grab a whole directory you can use something like:

thanks Sam - this is my first time in openshift and I struggled to understand OC - however, once I understood the token mechanism and managed to find - it then I got the gist :-)

cheers!

Hi John,

Theres a couple of ways to grab files from active pods. To grab a whole directory you can use something like:

oc rsync mqns/perf0-ibm-mq-1:/var/mqm/errors /tmp/oc

or for individual files:

oc cp mqns/perf0-ibm-mq-1:/var/mqm/errors/AMQERR01.LOG /tmp/error.log

regards,

Next time don't use the local message dump facility but use the remote one (dmpmqmsg -c ). As long as you can access the qmgr remotely you can also dump the messages remotely...

Do you have Infrared360 on-site? If you do, you can skip all those steps and dump queue info or even messages from the queue directly to a file system, either on your laptop or mapped drive ... or ... even another queue on a different qmgr (that you have access to) via the EZ browser UI.
