Enabling instrumentation events
This topic explains how to enable IBM MQ instrumentation events for z/OS queue managers and distributed queue managers (if applicable) so that
BMC AMI Ops Automation for MQ
can listen for and automate responses to these events.
You must manually enable instrumentation events for:
- All distributed queue managers
- z/OS queue managers if you do not choose to set MQEV= to one of the available options (Y, S, L, I, P, R, F, M, C, V, B, X)
Enabling instrumentation events for distributed queue managers
There are ten types of distributed instrumentation events, all of which can be enabled and disabled:
- Authority
- Channel Auto-definition
- Channel
- Inhibit
- Local
- Logger
- Performance
- Remote
- Start/Stop
- SSL
These events are queued to instrumentation queues with finite capacities. BMC AMI Ops Automation for MQ provides a set of solutions to help you manage these queues. For more information, refer to:
- Defining-connectivity for instructions about how to route events from remote queue managers to the z/OS queue manager
- BMC-AMI-Ops-Automation-for-MQ-solutions for information about how BMC AMI Ops Automation for MQQ can help you to manage events from distributed queue managers
For more information about enabling or disabling these events, see the IBM documentation MQ Event Monitoring.
Enabling instrumentation events for z/OS queue managers
You can specify that BMC AMI Ops Automation for MQ automatically enables instrumentation events for all z/OS queue managers to which it connects:
- Specify one of the available options for MQEV in BBPARM member AAOPRMxx.. See optional-Modifying-AAOMQLxx-parameter-settings.
- Issue .E MQ or, restart the PAS
