The Triggering sample programs on IBM i

IBM MQ for IBM i supplies two Triggering sample programs that are written in ILE/RPG.

AMQ3TRG4

This is a trigger monitor for the IBM i environment. It submits an IBM i job for the application to be started, but this means that there is additional processing cost associated with each trigger message.

AMQ3SRV4

This is a trigger server for the IBM i environment. For each trigger message, this server runs the start command in its own job to start the specified application. The trigger server can call CICS transactions.

C language versions of these samples are also available as executable programs in library QMQM, called AMQSTRG4 and AMQSERV4.

• The AMQ3TRG4 sample trigger monitor on IBM i
  AMQ3TRG4 is a trigger monitor. It takes one parameter: the name of the initiation queue it is to serve. AMQSAMP4 defines a sample initiation queue, SYSTEM.SAMPLE.TRIGGER, that we can use when you try the sample programs.
• The AMQ3SRV4 sample trigger server
  AMQ3SRV4 is a trigger server. It takes one parameter: the name of the initiation queue it is to serve. AMQSAMP4 defines a sample initiation queue, SYSTEM.SAMPLE.TRIGGER, that we can use when you try the sample programs.
• Ending the Triggering sample programs on IBM i
  A trigger monitor program can be ended by the sysrequest option 2 (ENDRQS) or by inhibiting gets from the trigger queue.
