CICS-MQ connection setup issue

Hi,

I working on connecting CICS with Websphere MQ.

I am using below URL:
www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGMCP_5.3.0/com.ibm.cics.ts.wmq.adapter.doc/topics/zs11290_.html

As per URL, I have already added "thlqual.SCSQAUTH" in STEPLIB and " thlqual.SCSQCICS , thlqual.SCSQLOAD , thlqual.SCSQAUTH" in DFHRPL's DD statements after CICS libraries.

However, when I tried creating object MQCONN with offline utility DFHCSDUP. Job is getting ended with MAXCC=12.

//xxxxxx JOB ACCT#,
// xxxxxxxx,
// NOTIFY=xxxxxx,
// MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//xxxxxxx EXEC PGM=DFHCSDUP,REGION=1M
//STEPLIB DD DSN=CICSTS31.CICS.SDFHLOAD,DISP=SHR
//DFHCSD DD DSN=xxxxxx.xxxxxxx.DFHCSD,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT1 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(1024,(100,100))
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
* DEFINITION OF MQ CONNECTION
DEFINE MQCONN(xxxx) GROUP(xxxx) MQNAME(xxxx)
DESCRIPTION(CICS-MQ CONNECTION) RESYNCMEMBER(YES)
/*
//

I am getting below messages/errors:
DFH5202 S INCORRECT SYNTAX FOR 'DEFINE' COMMAND. COMMAND NOT EXECUTED.
DFH5103 I ERROR(S) OCCURRED WHILE PROCESSING COMMAND.
DFH5104 W SUBSEQUENT COMMANDS (EXCEPT LIST) ARE NOT EXECUTED BECAUSE OF ERROR(S)

DFH5107 I COMMANDS EXECUTED SUCCESSFULLY: 0 COMMANDS GIVING WARNING(S): 0
DFH5108 I COMMANDS NOT EXECUTED AFTER ERROR(S): 0
DFH5109 I END OF DFHCSDUP UTILITY JOB. HIGHEST RETURN CODE WAS: 12

I have checked in CICS for ibm-supplied MQ group, DFHMQ in DFHLIST, but didn't find it.

Please suggest solution for above issue.

The data set name you have implies you are using CICS TS 3.1 -- and MQCONN is not an option for DFHCSDUP for this release of CICS TS. The URL you reference is for version 5.3 of CICS. It is very important to match the version of the documentation to the installed version of CICS at your site.

The resolution would be to upgrade your site to a version of CICS that does support MQCONN, or to stop attempting to use MQ on your system.

Hi,

I have checked with technical person on site, and they advised to connect CICS-MQ using SIT parameter, due to unavailability of MQCONN in RDO or DFHCSDUP in CICS TS 3.1

I have defined below SIT parameters:
MQCONN=YES
INITPARM=(CSQCPARM='SN=XXXX,TN=XXX,IQ=XXXX.INITQ)

However, at CICS startup, I am getting below error:
+DFHSI8440I CICSXXX Initiating connection to MQ.

@81 DFHSI1579D CICSXXX Module DFHSIPLT connection program CSQCCODF not found. Reply GO or CANCEL.
R 81,GO

+DFHSI8442 CICSXXX Connection to MQ has failed.

You need to talk to your site support group and find out why the MQ load library is not part of the DFHRPL.

You also need to change from this site to Beginners and Students Forum because the questions you are asking are not questions an expert would ask.
