Chapter 29. Preparing WebSphere MQ for z/OS when using CICS

This chapter describes the WebSphere MQ for z/OS and CICS preparations you need to make before you can start to use CICS for distributed queuing.

To enable distributed queuing, you must perform the following three tasks:

• Customize the distributed queuing facility and define the WebSphere MQ objects required; this is described in WebSphere MQ for z/OS Concepts and Planning Guide and WebSphere MQ for z/OS System Setup Guide .
• Define access security; this is described in WebSphere MQ for z/OS Concepts and Planning Guide and WebSphere MQ for z/OS System Setup Guide .
• Set up your communications; this is described in Chapter 30, Setting up CICS communication for WebSphere MQ for z/OS.
