You must configure IBM® WebSphere® MQ on
IBM z/OS®
to set up the required queues and namelists. Based on your system security requirement, you might
need to grant permissions to enable Rational®
Integration Tester to intercept the queue messages. From
Rational
Integration Tester 9.1.1 release onwards, you can do the required setup using the example
configuration JCL templates (RITDEFN, RITCFGS, and RITCFGG) which are provided with the
RIT.PROC.XMIT.BIN package.
About this task
Do the following steps to configure
IBM WebSphere MQ on
IBM z/OS.
In order to perform the steps, you need permissions for editing and submitting jobs on your z/OS
system.
Procedure
- Determine whether your queue manager is part of a queue sharing group.
- Follow the instructions within the RITDEFN template to customize the JCL for creating the
required name lists and queues.
Note: If your queue manager is part of a queue sharing group, and if you want to use Integration
Tester to record messages to shared queues, you must run the job once for each queue manager in the
queue sharing group.
- Provide the required permissions to the user IDs so that they have access
to all the required resources. For the list of resources and the required security permissions, see Security settings for MQ exit resources on z/OS. Depending on whether your security is set up
at the queue manager level or at the queue sharing group level, you can use either the RITCFGS or
RITCFGG JCL template with some customization based on your environment to set up the required
permissions. Consult your security administration team to customize RITCFGS or RITCFGG for your
environment.
Note: The example templates do not have the commands to provide resources with the
required permissions for the application user IDs. You must set up these permissions
manually.
