For z/OS batch, you have to write your own trigger monitor, as one is not provided by IBM. There is a sample BTM in the MQ support pacs (MA12) and an improvement on that theme can be found at: http://www.mainframeweek.com/journals/articles/0014/An+MQSeries+batch+trigger+monitor+for+MVS/ESA There is also a presentation for a clever implementation of a BTM that can be found on the NY/NJ MQUG website: http://www.nynjmq.org/TrigMon_Presents.zip This latter option requires the C compiler on the mainframe, however. So if that poses a problem for you, as it does for me, you may want to take a look at an approach that I have been working on. Run your program under batch TSO as in the previous examples, but code it in the HLL of your choice (COBOL in mine) and use ISPF services to link to a CLIST which uses File Tailoring Services to tailor some JCL and then submit it for execution using the TSO SUBMIT command. An example of the JCL that would be required to run TSO/ISPF in batch can be found at: http://www.theamericanprogrammer.com/programming/ispfbatch.html I have a Process Name definition associated with the triggered queue which has the job (member name) to be submitted specified as the APPLID. My BTM gets the member name and the request queue name from the MQTM and passes them, along with the QMGR name, to the CLIST. The JCL in the skeleton library has symbolic variables in it upon which ISPF FT thoughtfully does substitution for me. So far, this is working for me in a test environment. -- Tom Dockray Carnell 9-D 215-204-4931 Instructions for managing your mailing list subscription are provided in the Listserv General Users Guide available at http://www.lsoft.com Archive: http://vm.akh-wien.ac.at/MQSeries.archive
