Task 21: Include the IBM MQ dump formatting member

To be able to format IBM® MQ dumps using the Interactive Problem Control System (IPCS), you must update some system libraries.

  • You need to perform this task once for each z/OS® system where you want to run IBM MQ.
  • You need to perform this task when migrating from a previous version.

To be able to format IBM MQ dumps using the Interactive Problem Control System (IPCS), copy the data set thlqual.SCSQPROC(CSQ7IPCS) to SYS1.PARMLIB. You should not need to edit this data set.

If you have customized the TSO procedure for IPCS, thlqual.SCSQPROC(CSQ7IPCS) can be copied into any library in the IPCSPARM definition. See the MVS IPCS Customization manual for details on IPCSPARM.

You must also include the library thlqual.SCSQPNLA in your ISPPLIB concatenation.

To make the dump formatting programs available to your TSO session or IPCS job, you must also include the library thlqual.SCSQAUTH in your STEPLIB concatenation or activate it using the TSO TSOLIB command (even if it is already in the link list or LPA).
