Defining Coupling Facility resources

If you intend to use shared queues, define the Coupling Facility structures that WebSphere MQ will use in your CFRM policy. To do this first update your CFRM policy with information about the structures, and then activate the policy.

Your installation probably has an existing CFRM policy that describes the Coupling Facilities available. The IXCMIAPU z/OS utility is used to modify the contents of the policy based on textual statements you provide. The utility is described in the MVS Setting up a Sysplex manual. You must add statements to the policy that define the names of the new structures, the Coupling Facilities that they are defined in, and what size the structures are.
