Understanding DSPMQ evidence

DSPMQ evidence is an installer evidence type that identifies installations of IBM MQ applications. FlexNet Inventory Agent collects this evidence by running the IBM dspmq command during inventory gathering. This information helps you track where IBM MQ queue managers are installed and how they are configured.

What DSPMQ evidence is

The agent uses the following command to collect this evidence:

dspmq -o all

The agent runs this command from the file path where it detects the dspmq executable.

How DSPMQ evidence appears in inventory

The agent stores the results of the dspmq command in the NDI (inventory) file. Below is an example of how this evidence is represented:

<Package Name="WebSphere MQ Queue Manager:Running" Evidence="DSPMQ" Version="9.2.0.1">
	<Property Name="QueueManagerName" Value="TestQueue"/>
	<Property Name="Status" Value="Running"/>
	<Property Name="Default" Value="no"/>
	<Property Name="Standby" Value="Not applicable"/>
	<Property Name="InstallationName" Value="Installation1"/>
	<Property Name="InstallLocation" Value="C:\IBM\MQ"/>
	<Property Name="Publisher" Value="IBM Corporation"/>
</Package>
