Server Enterprise Edition provides functionality for WebSphere MQSeries Trigger Monitoring for IMS, allowing IMS MPP programs to be scheduled when WebSphere MQ messages arrive on a designated WebSphere MQ queue.
To enable trigger monitoring, IBM WebSphere MQSeries Server or IBM WebSphere MQSeries Client must be installed on the machine where Enterprise Server is running.
WebSphere MQ objects required for triggering must be defined. These are:
- An application queue with the trigger control set on, a recommended trigger type of 'First'. The application queue will reference the process and initiation queue.
- A process definition with the application type set to an integer value of 3 and an application id set to the IMS MPP transaction to be started. (The integer value of 3 for the application type is the numeric designation for IMS and ensures compatibility with WebSphere MQ UNIX installations.)
- An initiation queue
The objects need to be defined from the WebSphere MQ command line or IDE. See IBM WebSphere MQ Queue Parameters for details on how to do this.
