Installation overview
Tip
For MainView AutoOPERATOR for MQ to automate MQS events from distributed event queues, you must verify that the connectivity between z/OS and distributed queue managers is defined, as described in Defining connectivity.
Table 1. Installation activities—summary
Summary of steps | For more information, see |
|---|---|
If you are an existing MainView AutoOPERATOR for MQ site, review the migration considerations. | The migration considerations chapters in the MainView AutoOPERATOR Customization Guide |
Enable MainView AutoOPERATOR for MQ by adding the appropriate password Keys. | |
Add MQ APF-authorized libraries to MainView AutoOPERATOR STEPLIB. | Adding IBM MQ APF–authorized libraries to the STEPLIB DD card |
(optional) Activate automatic enabling of IBM MQ events by adding MQEV=Y or a combination of MQEV=SLIPRFMCVBX to BBPARM member AAOPRMxx | |
(optional) Activate the monitoring of Alias queues by adding QALIAS=Y to BBPARM member AAOPRMxx | |
Add BQ to the RULESET= list in AAOPRMxx. | |
| |
(optional) Enable distributed diagnostic Rules. | |
Review security. | |
Enable IBM MQ instrumentation events on the z/OS queue manager that you want monitored. | |
(optional) Enable IBM MQ instrumentation events on distributed queue manager. | |
If PATROL for MQ-Administrator or PATROL for MQ-Operator is installed on the z/OS system, you need to do the following steps to allow MainView AutoOPERATOR for MQ to co-exist with these products:
| |
(optional) Define sender/receiver channel pairs between z/OS IBM MQ queue managers and distributed queue managers. This allows MQ to transmit messages and commands between the queue managers. | |
(optional) Define queue SYSBMC.DISTRIB.EVENTS for distributed events and include this queue in UBBPARM(AAOMQLxx). | |
(optional) Route distributed instrumentation events to SYSBMC.DISTRIB.EVENTS on a z/OS MQ queue manager to make the events available to MainView AutoOPERATOR for MQ. | |
(optional) Set Up MQ command capability for distributed IBM MQ queue managers. | |
If MQGINHIB=ALTER or MQNSHARE=ALTER, verify that all queues to be monitored have the correct attributes. | |
Verify that MainView AutoOPERATOR for MQ is correctly customized (IVP). | |
Implement MainView AutoOPERATOR for MQ solutions. | |
If SAAREXX/370 is not installed, install REXX/370 alternate library. | |
Create site-specific IBM MQ automation Rules to capture IBM MQ messages as MainView AutoOPERATOR events. | |
Create EXECs to manipulate IBM MQ messages. | |
(optional) Create EXECs to manage and maintain distributed IBM MQ queue managers. |
