I'm after a Windows program to read/extract MQ Series log files, I
found a log extract program from IBM website:

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg24006548

But it doesn't look like a Windows executable, so is there one?

Or if someone can point me to some sort of documentation about the log
file structure that would be great as well.

Thanks!

They are in an IBM proprietary format.

Why do you want to read the log files? Perhaps we can suggest some
alternative means of achieving your requirement.

Thanks for your reply!

We want to get the time stamp from the message header. The application
that reads the queue only grabs the message body.

Oh, so you want to read the queue files, rather than the recovery log
files.
The queue files are in a proprietary format too, so you are out of
luck.

How about the obvious -- modify the application to get both the
message data
and the message descriptor (MQMD). Most apps would do this by default
anyway,
the MQMD has useful stuff in it like the Correlation Id.

What do you want to do with the PutDate / PutTime ?
