(ZOS) IBM MQ libraries and the WAS for z/OS STEPLIB
To connect a WebSphere Application Server connection factory to an IBM MQ queue manger in bindings mode, we must specify the correct IBM MQ libraries in the WAS STEPLIB concatenation.
Specify two libraries in the STEPLIB if we do not require the option to use a default queue manger. If we do require the option to use a default queue manager, specify three libraries.
The following two libraries must be specified in the WAS STEPLIB to enable a bindings connection:
A "bindings" connection is often used when WAS and IBM MQ are running on the same host. This is a cross-memory connection used to communicate with a queue manager. A bindings connection is also known as "call attach".
- thlqual.SCSQANLx
- This library contains error message information for our national language. The letter x represents the letter for our national language.
- thlqual.SCSQAUTH
- This library contains the code which the IBM MQ client code within WAS communicates with.
The following three libraries must be specified in the WAS STEPLIB to enable a bindings connection:
A "bindings" connection is often used when WAS and IBM MQ are running on the same host. This is a cross-memory connection used to communicate with a queue manager. A bindings connection is also known as "call attach".
- thlqual.SCSQANLx
- This library contains error message information for our national language. The letter x represents the letter for our national language.
- thlqual.SCSQAUTH
- This library contains the code which the IBM MQ client code within WAS communicates with.
- The name of the library containing the CSQBDEFV program which names the default queue manager in the IBM MQ configuration
- Contact the IBM MQ administrator to find out the name of this library.
- If we do not have an existing IBM MQ library containing the CSQBDEFV program, we can set it up by following the steps in Task 19: Set Batch, TSO, and RRS adapters in the IBM MQ information center.
