Create procedures for Advanced Message Security

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

Procedure

1. Copy the sample started task procedure thlqual.SCSQPROC(CSQ4AMSM) to your SYS1.PROCLIB or, if we are not using SYS1.PROCLIB, your procedure library. Name the procedure xxxxAMSM, where xxxx is the name of the 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 we are going to use.
3. Tailor the procedures to we 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.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for each IBM MQ queue manager.
