Create procedures for Advanced Message Security

Each IBM MQ subsystem that is to be configured to use Advanced Message Security requires a cataloged procedure to start the AMS address space. We can create your own or use the IBM-supplied procedure library.

For each IBM MQ subsystem that is to be configured to use Advanced Message Security tailor a copy of sample procedure CSQ4AMSM. To do this, perform the following steps:

1. Copy the sample started task procedure thlqual.SCSQPROC(CSQ4AMSM) to your SYS1.PROCLIB or, if you are not using SYS1.PROCLIB, your procedure library. Name the procedure xxxxAMSM, where xxxx is the name of your IBM MQ subsystem. For example, CSQ1AMSM would be the AMS started task procedure for queue manager CSQ1.
2. Make a copy for each IBM MQ subsystem that you are going to use.
3. Tailor the procedures to your requirements using the instructions in the sample procedure CSQ4AMSM. We can also use symbolic parameters in the JCL to allow the procedure to be modified when it is started.
4. Review and optionally change the parameters passed to the AMS task using the Language Environment® _CEE_ENVFILE file. The sample thlqual.SCSQPROC(CSQ40ENV) lists the supported parameters.

Note: This task should be repeated for each IBM MQ queue manager.
