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 ?
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.
I want to know about the MQ Setup in Mainframe environment i.e ZoS.How it linked with diferent platforms like CICS,UNIX,JAVA,IMS-Online & Web based application to send the Messages accross.

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.
