IBM MQ and CICS

IBM MQ and CICS

All the CICS® versions supported by IBM MQ Version 9.0.0, and later, use the CICS supplied version of the adapter and bridge.

For more information about configuring the IBM MQ CICS adapter, and the IBM MQ CICS bridge components, see the Configure connections to MQ section of the CICS documentation.

CICS group attach
CICS group attach provides the ability for a CICS region to connect to any active member of an IBM MQ queue sharing group on the same LPAR rather than specifying an individual queue manager. CICS still connects to a single queue manager at a time.
Group units of recovery (GROUPUR) for CICS
The IBM MQ GROUPUR for CICS provides peer recovery for in-doubt units of work in a queue sharing group (QSG). One IBM MQ queue manager can resolve in-doubt units of work on behalf of another queue manager in the queue sharing group. This means that if CICS reconnects through group attach to a different queue manager in the QSG, it can resolve indoubt transactions from a previous IBM MQ connection.
