Use and writing applications on WebSphere MQ for z/OS

 

WebSphere MQ for z/OS applications can be made up from programs that run in many different environments. This means that they can take advantage of the facilities available in more than one environment.

This chapter explains the WebSphere MQ facilities available to programs running in each of the supported environments. In addition,

• For information on using the WebSphere MQ-CICS bridge, see Using and writing WebSphere MQ-CICS bridge applications for z/OS.

• For information on using IMS™ and the IMS Bridge, see IMS and IMS Bridge applications on WebSphere MQ for z/OS.

This chapter introduces WebSphere MQ for z/OS applications, under these headings:

• Environment-dependent WebSphere MQ for z/OS functions

• Program debugging facilities

• Syncpoint support

• Recovery support

• The WebSphere MQ for z/OS interface with the application environment

• Writing z/OS UNIX System Services applications

• The API-crossing exit for z/OS

• WebSphere MQ Workflow

• Application programming with shared queues

 

Important notice

Distributed queuing using CICS ISC is retained for compatibility with previous releases; there will be no further enhancements to this function. Therefore you are recommended to use the channel initiator for distributed queuing.
