Set up a new queue-sharing group

This might affect Tasks 6, 9, 10, 13, 16, and 17 in Customizing your queue managers.

If you want to set up a new queue-sharing group or data-sharing group in WebSphere MQ V6.0, follow these steps:

  1. Review your DB2 data-sharing requirements.

    A single DB2 data-sharing group can be used to support multiple WebSphere MQ queue-sharing groups. If you intend to add this new queue-sharing group to a DB2 data-sharing group that already supports WebSphere MQ queue-sharing groups, we need to ensure that the migration & coexistence PTF has been applied, so that the DB2 tables used by WebSphere MQ can support V6 queue managers (see Applying MQSeries for OS/390 V5.3 or 5.3.1 migration & coexistence PTFs).

  2. Customize the CSQ45ATB sample JCL in thlqual.SCSQPROC supplied with WebSphere MQ for z/OS V6, deleting or bypassing the step that executes the MIGRATE QSG function. Run the job.

  3. Set up the Coupling Facility. See Task 10: Set up the Coupling Facility.

  4. Add the WebSphere MQ entries to the DB2 data-sharing group using the CSQ5PQSG program. See Task 16: Add the WebSphere MQ entries to the DB2 data-sharing group.

  5. Tailor the system parameter module to add DB2 data-sharing group and WebSphere MQ queue-sharing group information. See Task 17: Tailor your system parameter module.

  6. Customize and include the initialization input sample thlqual.SCSQPROC (CSQ4INSS) in the CSQINP2 data set.

See the WebSphere MQ for z/OS System Administration Guide for more information about managing queue-sharing groups.
