Starting a CICS-MQ monitor through the CICSPlex SM web user interface

You can start a CICS®-MQ monitor from the WebSphere MQ monitor view in CICSPlex® SM web user interface (WUI).

Before you begin

The MQMONITOR resource must be installed and enabled for use in the CICS region. For details, see Setting up the CICS-MQ adapter.
If the MQMONITOR to be started is used to control the CICS-MQ bridge, ensure that the attributes needed by the CICS-MQ bridge are specified in the MONDATA attribute of the MQMONITOR.
If security checking is active (that is, the SEC system initialization parameter is set to YES), ensure that the user ID associated with the transaction that attempts to set the MQ monitor state to started is a surrogate of the user ID defined in MONUSERID and is authorized to start transactions associated with the MONUSERID. In the case of setting the MQ monitor state through a CICSPlex SM API interface such as the CICS Explorer®, the user ID to be associated with the MQ monitor transaction is either the region user ID or the PLTPIUSR user ID (if specified).
If the z/OS Workload Manager (WLM) health service is active (see WLMHEALTH), with every increment in the z/OS WLM HEALTH value of the CICS region from zero to 100%, an attempt is made to start all stopped MQ monitors that have been defined with AUTOSTART(YES). If you want to control when a stopped MQ monitor starts, you must set AUTOSTART(NO) for this MQMONITOR resource. For more information, see Effect of z/OS Workload Manager Health service on MQMONITORs and Alert monitor (CKAM).

In the CICS Explorer, the MQ Monitors (MQMON) view provides a functional equivalent to this view in the WUI.

From the CICSPlex SM WUI main menu, select CICS operations > DB2, DBCTL and WebSphere MQ operations views > WebSphere MQ monitors.
For a full listing and explanation of the information in this viewset, see WebSphere MQ monitors - MQMON.
Select the Record box for the WebSphere® MQ monitor that you want to start.
Click the Start button.
