Determine if an MQ queue is an error queue or not

In MQ explorer, If I open up the properties for a particular queue (X), what property will tell me if the queue is defined as an error handling queue for another queue (Y)? i.e. If Y fails to process the message and the transaction rolls back, it will put the message on X.

Any queue designated as an error or exception queue (backout queue in WebSphere MQ terminology) is an ordinary queue. The BOQNAME on a primary queue points to the backout queue but there is no attribute of the backout queue that points back to the primary queue. This might be a one-to-many relationship because any number of primary queues might point to a single backout queue.

One way to do this in WMQ Explorer would be to make sure that BOQNAME is visible in the display and then sort the queue list on that column. Then look for all instances with your backout queue name in them.
