Distributed queue management (DQM) provides channel control programs which form the interface to CICS communication links, controllable by the system operator. The channel definitions held by DQM use these CICS connections.
When a channel is started, it tries to use the CICS connection specified in the channel definition. For this to succeed, it is necessary for the CICS connection to be defined and available. This section explains how to do this.
If more than one CICS system is associated with any one WebSphere MQ for z/OS, and each CICS system is running some DQM functions, you need to define connections between the CICS systems. This chapter also explains how to do this.
