Hi All,

I need pointers/sample code for the following reqt.

Need to trigger a batch job when the number of messages in the MQ reaches a certain value (eg. 1000 messages).

Help required as soon as possible.

Something about TRIGGER type DEPTH?
Check the manual, it'll be quicker.......

In the MQ definition screen you can set the trigger depth to a value, and this will auto trigger when the number of message reaches the limit which is depth.

I know with MQ you can trigger online transactions, but I really dont know whether you can trigger Batch JCL

Hello,

If nothing else, an online transaction could submit the batch job thru the internal reader.

Hi,

You can implement MA12 support pack for Batch trigger. You can download the support pack from the following link
