Event queues

We can define event queues either as local queues, alias queues, or as local definitions of remote queues. If you define all your event queues as local definitions of the same remote queue on one queue manager, we can centralize your monitoring activities.

You must not define event queues as transmission queues, because event messages have formats that are incompatible with the format of messages required for transmission queues.

Shared event queues are local queues defined with the QSGDISP(SHARED) value. For more information about defining shared queues, see the WebSphere MQ for z/OS System Setup Guide.
