Mail Manager sample on z/OS

Considerations to note when using Mail Manager sample.

The Mail Manager sample demonstrates these techniques:

  • Use alias queues
  • Use a model queue to create a temporary dynamic queue
  • Use reply-to queues
  • Use syncpoints in the CICS® and batch environments
  • Sending commands to the system-command input queue
  • Testing return codes
  • Sending messages to remote queue managers, both by using a local definition of a remote queue and by putting messages directly on a named queue at a remote queue manager
The application uses these MQI calls:

Three versions of the application are provided:

  • A CICS application written in COBOL
  • A TSO application written in COBOL
  • A TSO application written in C

The TSO applications use the IBM MQ for z/OS® batch adapter and include some ISPF panels.

See Table 1 for the TSO application, and Table 3 for the CICS application.
