How to update WebSphere MQ queue destinations using JYTHON script?

Currently we are using WebSphere Application Server version is ‘5’

Details are…

Name= ABC JNDI Name= jms/ABC

Base Queue Name= X.Y.Z needs to be changed like X.P.Q

Please provide any sample Jython script details or any reference links related to that exactly?

First, I don't think IBM introduced Jython until WebSphere version 5.1. If you're running 5.0, you'll need to use JACL.

I don't have access to a version 5.1 WebSphere installation, so I can't verify my answer. In your own installation look for AdminTask.modifyWMQQueue. An excerpted wsadmin output from a version 7.0 install:

wsadmin>print AdminTask.help('modifyWMQQueue')
WASX8006I: Detailed help for command: modifyWMQQueue

Description: Modifies the properties of the WMQ Queue provided to the command.

*Target object: The WMQ Queue object to modify.

Arguments:
  ccsid - The coded character set identifier.
  ...
  qmgr - The queue manager on which the WMQ queue resides.
  queueName - The name of the WebSphere MQ queue that will be used to store 
              messages for the WMQ JMS queue type destination definition.
  ...

Be warned though. In the past we have used Jython to manipulate data sources only to find out a recycle of the JVM is still necessary. I can't say that we've tried this with MQ.
