Issue
At times it is necessary to manually delete MSMQ messages
Product Line
Andover Continuum
Environment
- Continuum
- Windows XP
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2003
- Windows Server 2008
Cause
Under certain conditions messages build up in queues and don't clear out from msmq (i.e. Cyberstation offline that is configured to receive alarms)
Resolution
To open MSMQ
- Go to Windows Control Panel> Administrative Tools>Computer Management
- Expand Services and Applications
- Expand Message Queuing
- Expand Outgoing Queues and select one of the entries
- Right Click on queue messages and select AllTasks>Purge
- Are you sure you want to delete all messages? Yes
- Repeat this for the queues that require purging
Note: The IP of the Cyberstation is listed in the Outgoing Queue Channel (an offline Cyber will keep building up messages)
Here is a snapshot of the queues below.
