I have a question related to different platforms:
I want to have development platform as AIX and production environment as z/OS.
Is there any differents in the funcationalities provided by Broker running on AIX and z/OS ?
Can I deploy the same .BAR file which I deployed in AIX onto z/OS with out any mondifications ?
Thanks for your advice in advace, I have developed applications in AIX and Windows platforms. z/OS kind of new for me, I appriciate if you can give me any reference links.
Thanks, |

Moved to correct section. Don't pick a random section to post in, double post and especially don't double post on an unconnected existing thread!

In theory there should be no problem in deploying the same bar files to different brokers on different platforms. On the other hand, I would not recommend to have production on a different platform than your test environment! . In the (distant) past (still MQSI 2.1!) we had a development broker on Windows and UAT/Production on AIX. From time to time we saw small differences... some APAR's followed to fix them but I doubt there are no differences at all for the moment...
As we still had a test environment on the same platform as production we could avoid big problems but we moved development to AIX since to speed up the development cycle...

Testing and developing on one platform and running production in a different one, especially one as different as z/OS?
Yes, it will work. Until you have a problem in production. Not "If you have a problem"....When you have a problem. And can't replicate it in test.

Doesn't the cobol copy book import wizzard ask on which platform you are actually going to run the message set? So I expect to see differences there....

I think I can see where saper was going with this one. All the existing flows that you have built, if your ESQL code assumes you are working with ASCII data then you are in a bit of a problem. If you are dealing with EBCDIC data coming into your MQInput node, it is advisable to have the 'Convert' checkbox checked to avoid cross-platform issues.
