Preparing to customize your IBM MQ for z/OS queue managers

Preparing for customization

The Program Directory for WebSphere® MQ for z/OS® lists the contents of the IBM® MQ installation tape, the program and service level information for IBM MQ, and describes how to install IBM MQ for z/OS using the System Modification Program Extended (SMP/E). For download links for the Program Directories, see IBM MQ for z/OS Program Directory PDF files.

If you are migrating from a previous version of IBM MQ for z/OS, you do not need to perform most of the customization tasks. See Migrating and upgrading IBM MQ for more information about the tasks you must perform.

Installable features of IBM MQ for z/OS

IBM MQ for z/OS comprises the following features:

Base

This is required; it comprises all the main functions, including

• Administration and utilities
• Support for CICS®, IMS, and batch type applications using the IBM MQ Application Programming Interface, or C++
• Distributed queuing facility (supporting both TCP/IP and APPC communications)

National language features

These contain error messages and panels in all the supported national languages. Each language has a language letter associated with it. The languages and letters are:

C

Simplified Chinese

E

U.S. English (mixed case)

F

French

K

Japanese

U

U.S. English (uppercase)

You must install the US English (mixed case) option. You can also install one or more other languages. (The installation process for other languages requires US English (mixed case) to be installed, even if you are not going to use US English (mixed case).)

IBM MQ for z/OS Unix System Services Components

This feature is optional. Select this feature if you want to build and run Java applications that use the Java Message Service (JMS) to connect to IBM MQ for z/OS or if you want to build and run HTTP applications which use HTTP to connect to IBM MQ for z/OS.

Libraries that exist after installation

IBM MQ is supplied with a number of separate load libraries. Table 1 shows the libraries that might exist after you have installed IBM MQ.
