June Within cmqc or SCSQC370(CMQC) you will see:
/* Wait Interval */ #define MQWI_UNLIMITED (-1) /* Expiry */ #define MQEI_UNLIMITED (-1) Use UNLIMITED as a search argument within programming reference to find meanings. http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/csqzal09.pdf Thanks Frank -----Original Message----- From: MQSeries List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neil Casey Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 5:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: WaitInterval on CICS Bridge Process Hi June, I found the following in the zOS System Administration Guide. It doesn't say that -1 means unlimited, but it does say that the default values is unlimited, so you should be able to just leave it out. On the other hand, it also says that unlimited is a bad idea, because it interferes with the tidy shutdown of both CICS and MQSeries. Starting the CICS bridge To start the bridge, you need to run the CKBR transaction providing a maximum of three parameters: Q=qqq, where qqq is the name of the queue holding requests. If you do not specify a queue name, the default is SYSTEM.CICS.BRIDGE.QUEUE. Remember that names of objects within WebSphere MQ are case-sensitive. AUTH=xxx, where xxx is the security option. The default is LOCAL. WAIT=nnn, where nnn is the number of seconds that you want the bridge task to wait for subsequent requests before timing out when processing a unit of work that runs many user programs. The default wait time is unlimited. You are recommended to specify a wait time. If you do not specify a wait time, the CICS bridge might inhibit CICS or queue manager shut down. Start the CKBR task running by using one of the following methods: Input a single line from a terminal (3270 or other). Note that the terminal is not freed until the monitor ends. The format is: |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | CKBR Q=<queue name>,AUTH=<auth option>,WAIT=nnn | | | | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| For example: |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | CKBR Q=MyQueue,AUTH=IDENTIFY,WAIT=30 | | | | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Issue an EXEC CICS START for the CKBR program with the parameters as data. Issue an EXEC CICS LINK to the program CSQCBR00 with the parameters as data in the commarea. Use TRIGGER TRIGTYPE(FIRST) from the bridge request queue to a process specifying APPLICID(CKBR), with any parameters for the AUTH and WAIT options in USERDATA. The level of security you want to use influences how you start the monitor task. See the WebSphere MQ for z/OS System Setup Guide for information on the security options available to you.
