I am trying to implement MQSeries in batch environment on a OS/390 Mainframe machine. This is the scenario...A application AppX writes to our Queue intermittently.
My question is how can i make use of a trigger to monitor the queue in batch mode. Can I write a trigger so that as and when i receive 'n' number of messages on my queue a process should start?. And what would be the process be? a JCL or the name of a COBOL program which is coded to process the messages lying in the queue.?
Appreciate your time and effort in advance. |

You could very well use the standard trigger monitor instead of writing one for you in this scenario. You need to configure your xmtiq to trigger on "depth" and you could specify the number of messages on which the trigger monitor should trigger the application defined in the process definition.
Coming to your next question.
What you could do is, in you process definition, call the batch file itself or any program which you wish to execute.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Kumar,
From memory, OS/390 does not come with a 'batch' trigger monitor. The only one supplied is for CICS and is used to start other CICS transactions.
There is, however, a Support Pac, MA12, that provides a 'batch' trigger monitor. This is written in COBOL and can be modified to suit.
Cheers,

Eddie,
What i meant with batch triggering here was that you could have a batch program/file invoked through the process object. Which in turn could call a number of programs/scripts.
Cheers.

How would you invoke that MAINFRAME (or any other) batch job through an MQ process object without using a trigger monitor?
Can you elaborate?
Thanks,
Stefan
