CKQC - Start a CKTI monitor

Starts the CKTI transaction, which monitors the named WebSphere MQ initiation queue.

Syntax:

CKQC [STARTCKTI initiation-queue-name]

Notes:

You must have configured WebSphere MQ for MSS before running this transaction. See Configuring Enterprise Server for IBM WebSphere MQ for more information.

You can invoke this transaction in a terminal window or in a program.

If you invoke CKQC in a terminal window, you need to enter only CKQC. A message then appears prompting you for the initiation queue name.

If you invoke CKQC in a program, you pass the command in an INPUTMSG or COMMAREA to the CICS utility dfhzckqc. If you invoke CKQC from a PLTPI program, it cannot use the INPUTMSG parameter; only the COMMAREA is available. For example:
