About this task

After you have installed IBM MQ, we must carry out a number of tasks before we can make it available to users.

  • Preparing to customize queue managers on z/OS
    Use this topic when customizing your queue managers with details of installable features, national language features, and information about testing, and setting up security.
  • Set up IBM MQ for z/OS
    Use this topic as a step by step guide for customizing the IBM MQ for z/OS system .
  • Testing a queue manager on z/OS
    When you have customized or migrated your queue manager, we can test it by running the installation verification programs and some of the sample applications shipped with IBM MQ for z/OS.
  • Set up communications with other queue managers
    This section describes the IBM MQ for z/OS preparations we need to make before we can start to use distributed queuing.
  • Use IBM MQ with IMS
    The IBM MQ -IMS adapter, and the IBM MQ - IMS bridge are the two components which allow IBM MQ to interact with IMS.
  • Use IBM MQ with CICS
    To use IBM MQ with CICS, we must configure the IBM MQ CICS adapter and, optionally, the IBM MQ CICS bridge components.
  • Upgrading and applying service to Language Environment or z/OS Callable Services
    The actions we must take vary according to whether we use CALLLIBS or LINK, and your version of SMP/E.
  • Use OTMA exits in IMS
    Use this topic if we want to use IMS Open Transaction Manager Access exits with IBM MQ for z/OS.
  • Use IBM z/OSMF to automate IBM MQ
    The IBM z/OS Management Facility (z/OSMF) provides system management functions in a task-oriented, web browser-based user interface with integrated user assistance, so that we can more easily manage the day-to-day operations and administration of our mainframe z/OS systems.
