Our source application is based on Cobol Mainframe which sends the data to JMS client application (ActiveMQ). The CCSID of our Z/OS Qmgr is 1148, but the expectation to receive the data in UTF8 on the client side.

I would like to understand the best approach as where to implement the conversion. Is it feasible JMS does the conversion to UTF8 while receiving the message from IBM MQ queue? or can the conversion be done in Cobol before sending the data in to the queue?

It would be great if any reference or example available for my requirement.

IBM MQ applications can issue and MQGET using the option MQGMO_CONVERT to have the message converted into their wished encoding and code page.

JMS applications can also make use of this capability.

Your question mentioned ActiveMQ - I don't know why since you also say you are receiving the message from an IBM MQ queue. Perhaps you can elaborate?

You may find the following page in IBM Docs a good starting point.

JMS message conversion

thanks for your response. Our consumer application runs in ActiveMQ integration which uses IBM MQ classes for JMS to access the Z/OS Qmgr in client mode and further reads data off the queue.

OK Thanks - so it is IBM MQ libraries that you are using to read from the queue. So that link should help.

Cheers,
