Hi,
I am running a JMS application that needs to publish/subscribe to a MQ Series server on mainframe z/OS.
I could get this to work on windows environment wiht the MA0C support pack installation for the broker.
I heard that this base pack won't work in mainframe and I would need to purchase a integrator or event broker to implement pub/sub on mainframe.
Is this true? Is there a similar supportpac for z/OS to add pub/sub feature?
Thanks. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

MA0C is obsolete as of FixPack 8 of WMQ v 5.3.
You should not use it, even on distributed.
Rather than trusting "what you heard", you should go read the documentation yourself.

Thanks for your reply.
I am a developer and not an MQ administrator and I don't have access to the environment. I have been searching for the documentation on z/OS and was unsuccessful, which is why I posted on this forum.
Can some one let me know if I don't have any other option but to install an event broker/integrator to support pubsub on z/OS? I think we are running MQ series 5.x |

You can run the default pub/sub broker on a distributed queue manager, and use it from z/OS applications using distributed queueing techniques and a "remote broker" in your configurations.

Thanks again jefflowrey
Is there a default pub/sub broker on MQ series running on z/OS? I was told there isn't one. My application is not running on z/OS but on Windows in Websphere 5.1 and I am trying to connect to a QM on z/OS. When I do so, I get an error saying the broker is not running.
I experimented with MA0C in local env. which is on Windows. Our prod is in z/OS and the infrastructure guy says this won't work in mainframe. |
