A system is provided for problem management for outsized queues. The system includes a computer readable storage medium comprising a management component stored as a set of computer instructions executable by a processor. The management component stops transmission of inbound messages for a queue managed by a first queue manager. The management component provides a copy of the queue to a second queue manager and recreates the queue as an empty queue for the first queue manager. The management component restarts the inbound messages for the recreated queue and enables the second queue manager to manage the copy of the queue. The management component enables an application that retrieved messages from the queue to retrieve messages from at least one of the recreated queue and the copy of the queue and to promote outputting data for a requesting user application to a user interface.
