It happens a lot on ZOS. Take a look at Swift-net/Merva too

On Z/OS the shared queues require the use of DB2. We are consistent. As I said in my previous note "we don't *want* have databases as prereqs" and we do go to some lengths to avoid them. However, there are times when it just doesn't make sense not to use one. Shared Queues is just such a situation. It would have taken us much, much longer to write the shared queue support if weren't allowed to store definitions in DB2. WMQ is quite definitely not a database and it is not feasible for us to do all the things that databases do. Sometimes using WMQ as a simple transactional persistence layer is sufficient, sometimes you have to do something a little more sophisticated. Cheers, P.
