CREATE MQMONITOR

Define an MQMONITOR resource in the local region.

Syntax

Warning: System commands are powerful as they provide information about the state of the system and allow changes to be made to it. System commands should be used only by authorized applications and users.

Activate security checks on commands by specifying the XCMD system initialization parameter and by ensuring that command security checking is active for the transaction (either by specifying CMDSEC(YES) on the TRANSACTION resource definition or by specifying ALWAYS on the CMDSEC system initialization parameter).

NOHANDLE, RESP, and RESP2 are common options that can be added to all EXEC CICS commands to process error conditions. They are not explicitly included in the command syntax diagram and option descriptions. For information about these common options and EXEC CICS command syntax, see EXEC CICS command format and programming considerations. For more information about the use of CVDAs, see CICS-value data areas (CVDAs).

This command is threadsafe.

Note to COBOL programmers: In the preceding syntax, you must use ATTRIBUTES(data-area) instead of ATTRIBUTES(data-value).

Description

Use the CREATE MQMONITOR command to install an MQMONITOR resource definition, which defines the attributes for IBM® MQ message consumers such as the trigger monitor transaction CKTI.

See Using EXEC CICS CREATE commands to define resources for other general rules that govern CREATE commands.

Options

ATTRIBUTES(data-value)
Specifies the attributes of the MQMONITOR that is added. The list of attributes must be coded as a single character string using the syntax shown. See The ATTRIBUTES option for general rules for specifying attributes, and MQMONITOR resources for details about specific attributes.
Note: You can assign default values for all attributes of an MQMONITOR resource definition by specifying an ATTRLEN value of 0. You still must specify the ATTRIBUTES option, however, even though its value is not used.
LOGMESSAGE(cvda)
Specifies whether CICS® logs the attributes used for the resource that is created. CVDA values are as follows:
LOG
The resource attributes are logged to the CSDL transient data queue.
NOLOG
The resource attributes are not logged.
MQMONITOR(data-value)
Specifies the 8-character name of the MQMONITOR resource definition to be added to the CICS region.

Conditions

INVREQ
RESP2 values:
n
There is a syntax error in the ATTRIBUTES string, or an error occurred during either the discard or resource definition phase of the processing. See RESP2 values for CREATE and CSD commands for information about RESP2 values.
7
The LOGMESSAGE cvda value is not valid.
200
The command was executed in a program defined with an EXECUTIONSET value of DPLSUBSET or a program invoked from a remote system by a distributed program link without the SYNCONRETURN option.
LENGERR
RESP2 values:
1
The length you have specified in ATTRLEN is negative.
NOTAUTH
RESP2 values:
100
The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to use this command.
101
The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to create an MQMONITOR resource definition with this name.
