I have configured MQMONITOR as outlined in the IBM doc but the CKTI transaction is not started. I can start it manually via CKQC.
Any idea what I am missing here ?

Any chance you have different security permissions to the CICS region? I assume you have, or defaulted, AUTOSTART(YES).

Also, I guess you followed this procedure and hope that is correctly implemented and outlined.

In any any case did you find any Messages related to CKTI in region logs or dumps?

I do not see any error messages related to CKTI in the log.
I have AUTOSTART(YES) set.
I did find apar PI90616 that corrects a MQMONITOR related issue but I still need to check if this apar was included in the May 18 ADCD for z/OS 2.3.

I also found that by issuing CEMT SET MQMONITOR(name) START the log shows it failed with INVREQ RESP2=6.
I don't see any reason for this failure

CEMT SET MQMONITOR takes values AUTOSTART or STARTED, not START.

I am Sure you must have done but just check if you added initiation queue to INITPARM during the set up.

Initiation queue name is defined correctly in the MQMONITOR resource definition. Btw, It seems INITPARM is no longer valid in the SIT for version 5.4

Issue still not resolved after applying APAR PI90616

No error in the log indicating why CKTI is not started by MQMONITOR

To clarify, the MQMONITOR process fails to start and as a result CKTI does not start either.
Using CEMT to inquire on the MQM status shows it is STOPPED.
Attempting to use CEMT to change the MQM state to STARTED fails and the log shows :

CEMT SET MQMONITOR(MQ2) MONSTATUS(STARTED) RESP(INVREQ) RESP2(6).

I have no clue why RESP2(6) is returned. The MQM resource definition seems fine to me.

You really need to learn how to use the manuals. It takes only a few seconds to find the SPI manual information about INVREQ on CICS SET MQMONITOR. And the manual says about RESP2(6):
Quote:
An attempt to start the MQ monitor has failed. Verify TRANID and USERID attributes as well as security definitions.
The resource definition seems fine to you, but obviously the computer does not agree. As the manual suggests, check the TRANID, USERID, and security definitions. There is SOMETHING wrong since you are not getting the MQMONITOR started.

I read the manual very carefully and followed the instructions to the letter.
The userid and transid are correct.
CICS is running with SEC=NO, so I am not sure what security definitions I should check?

After looking at AUX trace I found the cause for the failure.
CSD didn't include a program definition for DFHMQMNS.
After redoing the CSD upgrade, MQMONITOR now starts fine.
