QLOAD Download Page
Welcome to the QLOAD download page.
The QLOAD program and the user manual can be downloaded free of charge. However, most features of the program will be disabled without a valid licence file. Without a valid licence file the program will allow you to verify that it runs on your system but will not allow you to load/unload messages. If you would like to explore the capabilities of QLOAD why not request a trial licence? Just send a note to support@mqgem.com and a month long trial licence will be sent to you free of any charge or obligation.
User Guide version 9.1.1 Build Date: April 5th 2026
This user guide provides comprehensive operational instructions for QLOAD, the dedicated message backup and restore utility for IBM MQ. It details how to efficiently unload messages from queues into files, and load them back again, making it ideal for message migration, queue clearing, and data replication. The document covers essential administrative features, including filtering messages by age or content, and stripping headers such as the Dead Letter Queue header (MQDLH).
This manual applies to all platforms.
