Querying the blob data in MQ*P_MSG column of MQ tables

Issue/Introduction

Is there a way to retrieve information directly from the MQ*P_MSG column in the MQ tables?  For example, if a problem occurs and traces are needed to read the information a shown in the article here: https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleId=198905, that information is in the MQ1OWP_MSG table in the MQ1OWP_MSG table.  Attempting to use a statement like:

select utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(dbms_lob.substr(MQOWP_MSG)) from MQ1OWP;

returns something like:

€^DEACT   01x\
q

Is there a way to decrypt this so instead of activating trace and reading it, a query can be run, pull the values and use this data for next steps?

Resolution

There is no way to get this information as it is compressed by the Automation Engine when the information is put into the MQ*_MSG column and uncompressed when it is removed.  Trying to get the hex information also doesn't get any useful information when selecting directly from the database.
