Hi All

Till now I have used websphere MQ only under CICS environment. Can this be used under any other environment other than CICS ? Can MQ be used for batches anyway ? or is it for online programs only ?

Thanks in advance

MQSeries can be used in a batch environement. I'm currently adding MQSeries functionality to our batch environment to communicate with CICS and JAVA applications. The programs and parms are almost identical between batch and CICS.

Connections between systems are sender/receiver "channels" (usually TCPIP) controlled by the Channel Initiator task. The Queue Manager task handles the activity putting/getting messages on the queues. These tasks must be customized and started on your z/OS system.

Here is a beginners manual on MQ to get the concepts.
