Configure your system for database coordination

Configure your system for database coordination

There are several tasks that you must perform before a database manager can participate in global units of works coordinated by the queue manager. These are described here as follows:

Install and configuring the database product
Creating switch load files
Add configuration information to the queue manager
Writing and modifying our applications
Testing the system

Install and configuring the database product
To install and configure your database product, see the product's own documentation. This topics in this section describe general configuration issues and how they relate to interoperation between IBM MQ and the database.
Creating switch load files
IBM MQ comes with a sample makefile, used to build switch load files for the supported database managers.
Add configuration information to the queue manager
When we have created a switch load file for your database manager, and placed it in a safe location, you must specify that location to your queue manager.
Writing and modifying our applications
How to implement a global unit of work.
Testing the system
You know whether our application and system are correctly configured only by running them during testing. We can test the system's configuration (the successful communication between queue manager and database) by building and running one of the supplied sample programs.
