Altering the job submission attributes of the trigger monitor

The trigger monitor supplied as command STRMQMTRM submits a job for each trigger message using the system default job description,

QDFTJOBD. This has limitations in that the submitted jobs are always called

QDFTJOBD and have the attributes of the default job description including the library list,

*SYSVAL. WebSphere MQ provides a method for overriding these attributes. For example, it is possible to tailor the submitted jobs to have more meaningful job names as follows:

1. In the job description specify the description you want, for example logging values.

2. Specify the Environment Data of the process definition used in the triggering process:

   CHGMQMPRC PRCNAME(MY_PROCESS) MQMNAME(MHA3) ENVDATA ('JOBD(MYLIB/TRIGJOBD)')                  

   The Trigger Monitor now performs a

   SBMJOB using the specified description.

It is possible to override other attributes of the

SBMJOB by specifying the appropriate keyword and value in the Environment Data of the process definition. The only exception to this is the

CMD keyword because this attribute is filled by the trigger monitor. An example of the command to specify the Environment Data of the process definition where both the job name and description are to be altered follows:

CHGMQMPRC PRCNAME(MY_PROCESS) MQMNAME(MHA3) ENVDATA ('JOBD(MYLIB/TRIGJOB)
   JOB(TRIGGER)')
