Set up the IMS trigger monitor

We can set up an IMS batch-oriented program to monitor an IBM MQ initiation queue.

Define the application to IMS using the model CSQQTAPL in the thlqual.SCSQPROC library (see Example transaction definition for CSQQTRMN ).

Generate the PSB and ACB using the model CSQQTPSB in the thlqual.SCSQPROC library (see Example PSB definition for CSQQTRMN ).

APPLCTN PSB=CSQQTRMN,
PGMTYPE=BATCH,
SCHDTYP=PARALLEL

PCB  TYPE=TP,      ALTPCB for transaction messages
MODIFY=YES,        To "triggered" IMS transaction
PCBNAME=CSQQTRMN
PCB  TYPE=TP,      ALTPCB for diagnostic messages
MODIFY=YES,        To LTERM specified or "MASTER"
PCBNAME=CSQQTRMG,
EXPRESS=YES
PSBGEN LANG=ASSEM,
PSBNAME=CSQQTRMN,  Runs program CSQQTRMN
CMPAT=YES
