Operate IBM MQ for z/OS

Use these basic procedures to operate IBM MQ for z/OS .

We can also perform the operations described in this section using the IBM MQ Explorer, which is distributed with IBM MQ for Windows and IBM MQ for Linux (x86 and x86-64 platforms). A stand-alone IBM MQ Explorer is available for downloading from Fix Central. For more information, see Administration using the IBM MQ Explorer.

• Issuing queue manager commands on z/OS
  We can issue IBM MQ control commands from a z/OS console or with the utility program CSQUTIL. Commands can use command prefix string (CPF) to indicate which IBM MQ subsystem processes the command.
• Operations and control panels for IBM MQ for z/OS
  We can use the IBM MQ operations and control panels to perform administration tasks on IBM MQ objects. Use this topic as an introduction to the commands, and control panels.
• Use the operations and control panels on z/OS
  Use this topic to investigate the initial control panel displayed from CSQOREXX
• Use the Command Facility on z/OS
  Use the editor to enter or amend MQSC commands to be passed to the queue manager.
• Work with IBM MQ objects on z/OS
  Many of the tasks described in this documentation involve manipulating IBM MQ objects. The object types are queue managers, queues, process definitions, namelists, channels, client connection channels, listeners, services, and authentication information objects.
• Implement the system using multiple cluster transmission queues
  It makes no difference if the channel is used in a single cluster, or an overlapping cluster. When the channel is selected and started, the channel selects the transmission queue depending on the definitions.
• Undoing a change on z/OS
  We need to have a process to backout a change if it the results are not as you expect.
