Enabling z/OS Connect and the MQ Service Provider

What you must do to enable z/OS® Connect and the MQ Service Provider.

Before you begin

Ensure that we have completed the procedures:

• Install WebSphere Application Server Liberty
• Install the IBM MQ resource adapter
• Install the MQ Service Provider into WLP

This procedure enables both z/OS Connect and the MQ Service Provider.

Procedure

1. Edit the server.xml that we have created, and replace the whole of the featureManager element with these lines. Attention: The exact format of the <feature>zosConnectMQ-1.0</feature> line depends on which method we used to install the MQ Service Provider, described in Install the MQ Service Provider into WLP.If we used:
   • Method 1, the line appears as <feature>zosConnectMQ-1.0</feature>.
   • Method 2, the line appears as <feature>usr:zosConnectMQ-1.0</feature>.
   • Method 3, the line appears as <feature>mqzosconnect:zosConnectMQ-1.0</feature>.

   Also, amend the following entries, only if they do not already exist.

   <featureManager>
   <feature>zosConnect-1.0</feature>
   <feature>appSecurity-2.0</feature>
   <feature>zosConnectMQ-1.0</feature>
   <feature>wmqJmsClient-1.1</feature>
   <feature>zosTransaction-1.0</feature>
   </featureManager> 

2. Configure security for z/OS Connect. Refer to Configure security for z/OS Connect for details on how to carry out this procedure.
3. Start the server. Follow the procedure detailed in Starting and stopping a server from the command line.

What to do next

Check that z/OS Connect is correctly set up.
