Prepare and running the Credit Check sample

 

To prepare and run the Credit Check sample, perform the following steps:

1. Create the VSAM data set that holds information about some example accounts. Do this by editing and running the JCL supplied in data set CSQ4FILE.

2. Perform the steps in Preparing the sample applications for the CICS environment. (The additional steps that perform if you want to use the IMS™ extension to the sample are described in The IMS extension to the Credit Check sample.)

3. Start the CKTI trigger monitor (supplied with WebSphere MQ for z/OS) against queue CSQ4SAMP.INITIATION.QUEUE, using the CICS transaction CKQC.

4. To start the application, start your CICS system and use the transaction MVB1.

5. Select Immediate or Batch inquiry from the first panel.

   The immediate and batch inquiry panels are similar; Figure 1 shows the Immediate Inquiry panel.
