MQ Setup (5.6.0)

Related Tpoics

The MQ Setup (5.6.0) screen allows you to establish and override several default MQ parameters established by the system programmer during Code Debug CICS installation. These parameters allow you to customize the MQ portions of the File Utility to better suit your individual requirements for your session. If the Code Debug CICS profile data set is used, your overrides are saved for future debugging sessions.

Access this screen by typing the number 0 on the MQ-Menu-5-6, or by typing 6.0 on the File-Utility-Menu-5.

Input Fields

MQ LIST PREFIX

The queue list may be limited to queue names beginning with a specified prefix. The entered prefix must end with an asterisk (*). Enter an asterisk to include all queue names in the list. The default value is an asterisk.

MQ LIST TYPE

The queue list may be limited to a specified type of queue. Valid values are QALIAS, QLOCAL, QMODEL, QREMOTE, or an asterisk (*). Enter an asterisk to include all queue types in the list. The default value is an asterisk.

MQ LIST LIMIT

The queue list may also be limited by the contents of the MQ LIST LIMIT field. If the MQ LIST LIMIT field is set to zero or spaces there is no maximum number of queues used to limit the list. All qualifying queues will be displayed.

DYNAMIC QUEUE PREFIX

The File Utility List MQ Queues screen (5.6.1) as seen in MQ Queue List Screen (5.6.1), opens a dynamic queue. The dynamic queue prefix field may be used to define your session’s prefix for the name of that dynamic queue. This prefix will be used for your session’s prefix instead of the site’s default which is found in the MQDYNQ parameter in global. It must not exceed 33 characters and must end with an asterisk (*).

Important

Corresponding specifications in your site’s external security manager, such as RACF, may be necessary. For additional information regarding dynamic queues, see appropriate IBM MQ for z/OS documentation.

Spacing out your entry in this field will restore the global default for your session. Note that if you are using the global default for your dynamic queue prefix, it will be shown here after you have displayed the List MQ Queues screen (5.6.1) which opens it. While the prefix may be overridden on this screen for your session, the site default may only be changed via updating the global MQDYNQ parameter.
