Testing a queue manager on z/OS
When you have customized or migrated your queue manager, we can test it by running the installation verification programs and some of the sample applications shipped with IBM MQ for z/OS .
After you have installed and customized IBM MQ for z/OS, we can use the supplied installation verification program, CSQ4IVP1, to confirm that IBM MQ for z/OS is operational.
The basic installation verification program CSQ4IVP1 tests non-shared queues and verifies the base IBM MQ without using the C, COBOL, or CICS samples.
After running the basic installation verification, we can test for shared queues by using CSQ4IVP1 with different queues, and also test that Db2 and the coupling facility are set up correctly. To confirm that distributed queuing is operational, we can use the supplied installation verification program, CSQ4IVPX,
CSQ4IVP1 is supplied as a load module, and provides a set of procedural sample applications as source modules that demonstrate typical uses of the Message Queue Interface (MQI). We can use these source modules to test different programming language environments. We can compile and link-edit whichever of the other samples are appropriate to your installation by using the supplied sample JCL supplied.
