Use the DQM commands and panels to create, monitor, and control the channels to remote queue managers. Each z/OS queue manager has a DQM program (the channel initiator) for controlling interconnections to remote queue managers using native z/OS facilities.
The implementation of these panels and commands on z/OS is integrated into the operations and control panels and the MQSC commands. No differentiation is made in the organization of these two sets of panels and commands.
The information in this chapter applies in all cases where the channel initiator is used for distributed queuing. It applies whether or not you are using queue-sharing groups, or intra-group queuing.
If you are using CICS for DQM, the information in this chapter does not apply. See Chapter 28, Monitoring and controlling channels in z/OS with CICS for more information.
