Isn't this is what the CICS/WMQ Gateway is used for?
Yuo send the MRM (aka Cobol Copybook) formatted messages to the relevant Q on the MF using WMQ.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

smdavies99,
for the CICS gateway you described, does it have to be running on the sender box (AIX ) or does it have to be on the mainframe only ?
Thanks.

You could update DB2 on the mainframe from WMB (requires a DB2 connect license). You could FTP files to the mainframe from WMB.
This data could then be accessed by CICS transactions later on.
To access CICS transactions through the commarea could be done online if your site enabled the web services interface to CICS and then used the http or soap nodes in WMB.
Other options include the CICS transaction gateway but this would need software purchased. |

If you don't have WMQ on the mainframe, how were you planning to link the Windows and/or AIX to the CICS? Irrespective of message format?

| Using CICS web services would be a neat solution, if CTG or MQ is not present. |
