We're running WMQ 5.3 and DB2 7.1. Our DB2 systems guy is asking about how to put (MQSEND) to a queue. This queue would be triggered to start 'something' in db2 that will do an 'get' (MQRECEIVE) to update a table.

I can't find any info on what to 'trigger' and how to 'marry' the MQ and DB2 subsystems.

As you can see, I'm a bit unfamiliar with DB2....I'm thinking CICS here and I know it's different.

These are basic questions...can someone help and point me in the right direction.

No you dont need AMI,
You need to look at triggering the application.

You will need a trigger monitor, this is a batch version (Not IMS/CICS)

You will need to modify the Queue Definition and create a process definition

If you want to use the MQ functions in DB2, and it seems you do because you used the right terms: MQSEND and MQRECEIVE, then yes, you do need the AMI. But, it is already part of the z/OS version of MQ. You don't need the Support Pac.

Last time I looked, there still wasn't a 'listener' service for the DB2/MQ functions, so in order to receive messages you would have to kick off a Stored Procedure by some 'external' means that could be Triggered, by MQ, when a message arrives.

Most of the doc for this 'interface' seems to be in the DB2 readme. There's also a couple of good articles on the IBM website. Start with:

If we do write this application today using the AMI, when support for it is dropped, what then? There is a product called DB2 Information Integrator V8.1, do you know if this is a replacement for the MQ Functions and the AMI??

Thanks!
