    That will vary depending on the command. It will be the same authority required to issue the equivalent MQSC command.

    Tell us the command you are issuing and we can advise further.

    Cheers

    Hi Morag,
       mostly PCF query services-  query queue depth, channel status. Channel Ping etc.  Nothing that relates to alter.

    A table of all the PCF commands and the security profile they require access to can be found here.

    In short though, for an inquire command, you need READ access to the hlq.DISPLAY.<primary-key-word> profile in the MQCMDS class.

    So Inquire Queue is the same as the MQSC command DISPLAY.QUEUE, so you need READ access to the hlq.DISPLAY.QUEUE profile in the MQCMDS class.

    For Inquire commands you do not require any access to any command resource profiles (in MQADMIN or MXADMIN class).

    Cheers,
    Morag
