The Credit Check sample with multiple queue managers on z/OS

We can use the Credit Check sample application to demonstrate distributed queuing by installing the sample on two queue managers and CICS® systems (with each queue manager connected to a different CICS system).

When the sample program is installed, and the trigger monitor (CKTI) is running on each system, you need to:
  1. Set up the communication link between the two queue managers. For information on how to do this, see Configure distributed queuing.
  2. On one queue manager, create a local definition for each of the remote queues (on the other queue manager) to use. These queues can be any of CSQ4SAMP.B n.MESSAGES, where n is 3, 5, 6, or 7. (These are the queues that are served by the checking-account program and the agency-query program.) For information on how to do this, see DEFINE QREMOTE and DEFINE queues.
  3. Change the definition of the namelist (CSQ4SAMP.B4.NAMELIST) so that it contains the names of the remote queues to use. For information on how to do this, see DEFINE NAMELIST.
