Example IBM MQ configuration for z/OS using QSGs

This section gives an example of how to set up communication links to a queue sharing group (QSG) from IBM MQ on Windows and AIX . We can also connect from z/OS to z/OS.

Set up communication links from a queue sharing group to a platform other than z/OS is the same as described in Example IBM MQ configuration for z/OS. There are examples to other platforms in that section.

When the connection is established, we must define some channels to complete the configuration. This process is described in IBM MQ for z/OS shared channel configuration.

See Example IBM MQ configuration for all platforms for background information about this section and how to use it.

• Configuration parameters for an LU 6.2 connection
  The following worksheet lists all the parameters required to set up communication from a z/OS system to one of the other IBM MQ platforms. The worksheet shows examples of the parameters, which have been tested in a working environment, and leaves space for you to enter your own values.
• Establishing an LU 6.2 connection into a queue sharing group
  There are two steps to establish an LU 6.2 connection. Defining yourself to the network and defining a connection to the partner.
• Establishing a TCP connection Using Sysplex Distributor
  We can set up Sysplex distributor to use one connection name to connect to the queue sharing group.
• IBM MQ for z/OS shared channel configuration
  Configure the shared channel by starting the channel initiator and issuing appropriate commands for the configuration.
