CICSPlex SM views for the CICS-MQ connection and monitors
You can use CICSPlex® SM views to create and modify MQCONN and MQMONITOR resource definitions, start and stop the CICS®-MQ connection, and display information and statistics for the connection and monitors.
The following viewsets are available in CICSPlex SM
for the CICS-MQ connection and monitors:
- The views in the MQCON viewset display information about the connection, including connection status and connect and disconnect times. The main views have action buttons that you can use to start and stop the connection, and you can change the settings for the connection.
- The views in the MQINI viewset display the attributes of the installed MQINI resource definition for the CICS system, including the resource signature. You cannot carry out any actions on this resource definition.
- The views in the MQCONN viewset display information and statistics about the connection. The MQCONN viewset is the viewset that existed before CICS resource definitions were introduced for the CICS-MQ connection, so these views do not have action buttons to start and stop the connection, and you cannot change the settings for the connection in these views.
- The views in the MQMON viewset display status information and statistics for MQ monitors defined in the CICS region.
- The views in the MQCONDEF viewset display the attributes of MQCONN resource definitions, which are represented in CICSPlex SM by MQCONDEF BAS objects. You can use these views to create, change, discard, or install an MQCONN resource definition.
- The MQCINGRP viewset shows information about the membership of an MQCONN resource definition (MQCONDEF) in a resource group (RESGROUP).
- The MQMINGRP viewset shows information about the membership of an MQMONITOR resource definition (MQMONDEF) in a resource group (RESGROUP).
